Hawaii, Outside the Womb

We successfully took our first family vacation to Kauai. Ever was still a little fetus last time we visited Hawaii so needless to say this trip was quite different and a whole lot more work. I don't know why someone so little requires so much stuff!

We got rained on in Kauai... A lot. We also all got sick, resulting in a family trip to urgent care. Our rental car broke down. 

Despite feeling a tad unlucky we still had a great time. We did a whole lot of relaxing (our king-sized bed made co-sleeping so much more pleasant!) which is what the trip was all about!

Ever accomplished a lot of 'firsts' in Kauai, such as:

First plane ride (she did great!)

First trip to the beach (Her opinion? The water was too loud, a little chilly and the sand on her feet made her mad)

First cold and doctor's visit :(

First boat trip (up the Wailua River to the Fern Grotto)

First real food she ate as opposed to sucking on (frozen banana!)

First helicopter ride (a tour of the island where we saw the "Jurassic Park waterfall". She fell asleep after 10 mins)

First realization that she has a foot and it can reach her mouth!

And, contrary to what these pictures show, Everleigh did not have her first cup of coffee...

5 Month Birthday and a Picnic

Upon returning from her first vacation Everleigh promptly turned 5 months old!

She is now weighing in at 13lbs 9oz.

To celebrate we took a little stroll in the Red Rocks area before settling down for a picnic. 

The Great Cloth Diaper Change

This past weekend Everleigh took part in The Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011 hosted by Eco-POLITAN.

The event celebrated Earth Day and raised awareness for cloth diapering. It also set the Guinness World Record for most cloth diapers changed simultaneously, and we have the certificate to prove we were a part of it!!

We didn't get many pictures because she was busy getting her butt changed, of course!

Here she is in her carrier waiting to get checked in. Note the red nose-it was surprisingly chilly!

Here she is, post-change in her red Rumparooz diaper.

Here's an article about the event from the Denver Post. We're in the bottom right picture, though we are very small (back, middle-ish)...

We Didn't Forget You!

We've been busy... Getting ready for the beach among other things!!

Baby BEAR!!

Making friends wherever she goes...
