Went to Natural Resources today and got 3 cloth diaper covers and a bag of 100% compostable disposable diapers. I WISH I had the discipline to do exclusively cloth diapers. I don't. I think that the combination of cloth + disposables ends up being the most costly option. But whatever - I'm doing what I can to avoid contributing to the landfill.

first food!
I'm happy to announce that Jacob's first food was "okayu" - Japanese rice gruel. It's REALLY simple stuff - Japanese rice that's boiled down to a slurry, and it's easily digestible. It's also a great thing for adults to eat if you're sick to your stomach. So he seemed to like it - he grimaced a little bit, but he didn't spit ALL of it up. And I was going to wait until 6 months, but his appetite is increasing, and he's staring at my food when I eat. So there's my rationale. I'm bracing myself for smelly poops...
