New diapers are here!

I ordered 2 of the new BumGenius Organic diapers. They're an all-in-one style which is great, but they're also a one-size diaper. After trying the first two I ordered enough to outfit Becca until she's potty trained, I liked them so much! The inner layer is organic cotton and oh so soft.
They look almost identical to the BG 3.o pocket diaper from the outside. The inside, though, is different than any other diaper I've seen. The "stuffing" or absorbant layer is on the top like a doubler rather than stuffed inside the diaper. It's sewn in so scattery people (*cough cough* me *cough*) can't loose it. When it's in the small position and medium position the doubler layer can be folded to lay flat. I really like this since it can be folded over in the front for extra protection for boys, in the middle for girls, or in the back for a back sleeper. Or anywhere in between. Love it.
One difference I have noticed from the BG 3.0s is that this diaper seems to fit bigger (although I believe they have about the same size range according to cottonbabies.com). Rebecca fits comfortably in the middle and large sizes of the 3.0 but the large size of this diaper is still much too big for her. I'm actually really happy about this. It means it should fit her for longer! How this would work with a tiny new baby is another story.
Here's Becca (and our coffee table) modeling the new diapers

And this is what happens when I say to Rebecca "Becca, sweetie, show off your new diaper".

Rebecca's way of saving the environment?



No napkins, just use your Earth Day shirt! Also known as 'what happens when Becca eats spaghetti'!





Big girl bath tub



Rebecca has graduated... to the big girl bath tub. We decided that because she's getting so tall the ducky tub from a few months ago isn't going to cut it for much longer. So into the bath she went. It went pretty well. I was expecting she'd be slipping around but she didn't at all. She liked that she had more room to splash around. Naturally this meant that mommy got soaked!
