Another Gro Baby Give Away!

I have bought some of my cloth diapers from a site called Soft Cloth Bunz and every Friday they have a give away on their blog. This week's "Feed Your Stash" Contest is for a Gro Baby One size cloth diaper, a box of Tiny Bubbles baby detergent and a wetbag for your dirty duds! Check it out!

Gro Baby Cloth Diapers

As some of you all know, we have been trying cloth diapers both to save some money and to help the environment. We have recently found a new type of diaper that I LOVE. They are Gro Baby one size diapers. Yes, the same diaper adjusts to fit my 8 week old Noah and my 35lb, 22 month old Georgia who wears between a size 3T and 4T already! They are pretty bulky on Noah and won't work for Georgia for much longer but for now, they both fit! They have a waterproof shell and a "soaker pad" that snaps inside keeping it in place. When it is wet you just replace the soaker unless the shell is soiled (which doesn't happen often since the pad inside is made to fit the diaper). No folding or pinning! So much more convenient than the chinese prefolds and wraps we have been using! Check out this blog to enter to win a free one to try it out.
Check out the manufacturer's website, The Natural Baby Co. to learn more or buy one to try for yourself!


Here are a few pics of my 'Gro'wing babies in their Gro Baby's!



They look so somber, don't they? This was better than the alternative...screaming!

Chuck E Cheese

My sister had this fabulous idea to take Georgia to Chuck E Cheese. We were originally going to go when Chad was out of town in New York but that week got so packed with stuff to do and Chad wanted to go too so we waited until he got back. We had a BLAST!

This is actually us on the way home. I have such a hard time figuring out how to get the photos in the order I want!

After all the games we all gave our tickets to Georgia and got her a little prize from the prize counter. She loves her Uncle David!

Aunt Rhonda with Noah. He was so good and just hung out in the baby carrier on Chad while he played games!

Daddy and Noah

Uncle David, Nick and Ben...and Georgia right in the middle of it all.

It looks like she was going down the slide but she really just climbed it half way then slid down.

Georgia LOVED this game. She didn't have a clue what the object was but she loved playing with all the basketballs. We sure got our exercise for the day chasing the balls around!

We tried to get her to really play/ride some games but she really wasn't interested. She was perfectly satisfied to run around adn just touch everything. More tokens for us!

We got her to eat almost a whole piece of pizza in the 2 and a half hours we were there!

She played with everything!

She loved him from the first time she saw him!

Catch Up...

The Nuss house has been pretty busy lately. We decided to rearrange the house so it has been upside down lately! I will post photos once we get things done. I meant to take "before" photos but couldn't pull off getting the house clean enough to get pics I would post! So, they will just be "after" photos. Here are a few highlights from the last few weeks...(in no particular order)


I had to take Noah to his 1 month doctor's appointment by myself last week so this is the only photo I have of him there but at least I got one! He is super healthy and growing like a weed! 9 lbs 3.5 oz, 21 inches tall both in the 25%. Hopefully he will catch up to his sister!
I love this one because Noah's eyes are open and he is just hanging out!

Georgia enjoyed an ice cream cone on Fathers day

My sweet husband on Father's Day

My dad and my kids on Father's Day. My sister and her fam were coming back from vacation that day so we'll do a belated celebration with them and probably add in my mom's birthday that we never celebrated from February, Chad's birthday and my sister's birthday. Whew, summer is busy! I guess everything is busy with kids!

Noah is getting so big!

My sister in law, Megan, graduated from Oldham County High School. This is her, Chad and my brother in law, Shawn.

The Graduate

Woo Hoo! I did not make it to the ceremony. I was too afraid to take a 21 month old and a 3 week old to a 2 hour ceremony so I just met everyone at the house for the party. These photos are complimentary from Chad.

These are of Noah at one month. I am a big slacker already and didn't do official one month photos but these were of him that day. Maybe I will cheat and take some this week and put the sign in anyway. I think I did that for Georgia's a couple of times!

NYC Mission Trip

Chad is currently on his way to New York City for a mission trip through The Gallery Church and CityUprising. Please pray for his safe travel and for my sanity this week as I am home with the kiddos. Feel free to keep up with them on Chad's Twitter. He will be updating it frequently with what they are doing and how we can pray for them!

P.S. I will try to update the blog soon with photos and what has been going on with the Nuss fam lately!

Noah's Doctor Appt

Well, I guess it is true that you take more photos of the first because I have taken the camera to both of Noah's doctor appointments and have yet to take a photo. We took photos of all Georgia's appointments!

Besides no photos, the appointment went great. Noah is the picture of health. I forgot to ask about percentiles but he is already up to 7 lbs 7.5 oz, 20 inches long and it looks like his jaundice has completely gone away!

Praise God for a healthy baby!

My friend, Franny, came over today to get some photos of us and the kids (which was so much more hectic than trying to take photos with one!) so I will be posting them whenever we get the CD so stay tuned for more Noah photos! He is growing like a weed!

Oh, What a Day...

I still have not figured out how to get the photos to appear in the order I want them so these are photos of my day, but not in the order in which they happened...

Last night it was time for a bath. I usually let Georgia throw her toys in the tub while it is filling up and last night was no different except I decided to use the bathroom while she was doing that. I guess she was a little anxious to get in the tub herself because just as I sat down she hopped in the tub herself, water going all over the floor and her still in her dress, cloth diaper and play necklace! This is what I saw when I got up...

Eariler, I had just changed 2 dirty diapers so I put Noah in his crib so I could wash my hands. Since we have him in our room for now his crib is full of clothes Georgia has grown out of until I get around to storing them in the garage and stuffed animals that will go in the pet net once we hang it but I squeezed enough room to lay Noah down so he would be safe from his sister for just a few seconds. I returned to Georgia climbing the side of the crib r-e-a-c-h-i-n-g for him and begging to get in the crib. So, I got Noah out and out him in her crib and put her in his. She sobbed when I got her out a half hour later.

In between the crib incident and bath incident our dear friends, Carlos and Amy, brought their new baby girl to meet our new baby boy and brought a delicious spaghetti dinner to share with us. Fortunately, Georgia had a nap before they came and was on better behavior for our guests.

Needless to say, I was exhausted come bed time!
