We’ve talked about Jude’s size, right?
Eight months old, 40 pounds … that’s totally normal, yes?
No?

It sneaks up on me every time. One day, that little boy is totally happy to just build train tracks and push engines in an endless circuit. The next, he’s sighing deeply and looking for trouble with an “I’m bored,” look plastered on his face.
And as my husband’s grandfather reminded me many times: shame on you if you let a little boy get bored on your watch, because it will not go well.
A {tech} tool for your toolbox

Jude is six months old. It’s a beautiful thing, that six month milestone. As much as part of me gasps at the realization that the first half of the first year has already flown right by me, another piece of my heart just glows with the joy of anticipating the unfolding of the second six months.
Lucky Diapers by Shamrocks and Tangerines
Once you figure out that cloth is where you’re headed for diapering your babe, you realize you have options. I’m not just talking styles, although heaven knows there are tons of those to wade through. I’m talking about brands — and trust me when I say there are a boatload of those, too.
At first, most newbies stick with the Big Names. They’re a known quantity in cd circles, it’s easy to find reviews, and the names are familiar enough after just a few trips around the blog/fb group/diaper shop universe.
Trust me when I say that if you’ve stayed with the Big Names, you’re missing out.
Some of my favorite diapers are from smaller set-ups– many of whom are WAHMs who depend on sales to keep their family afloat, and therefore work extra hard to provide an excellent, unique product at a fair price.
Lucky Diapers by Amanda at Shamrocks and Tangerines is one of those smaller outlets that I love.
Lucky Diapers are pockets, one of the simplest form of modern diapering. The materials are top quality, the workmanship is solid, and the customer service is excellent.
Amanda created these one-size pockets with three rise positions and a five-step waist. This has been super helpful for me, as my 7 month old has hit 35 pounds and is topping out of most OSs. As you can see from the picture, his Lucky Diaper still has a touch of wiggle room before he outgrows it altogether!
Lucky Diapers prints are some of the most varied and unique that I’ve seen in a single shop. Catering to the geek-chic among us, Amanda stocks a Dr. Who print for $20. She also has an awesome Indian elephant print for $18 (my favorite), and a neat London-themed print for just $16. Add to this a pre-order of a “color of the month” feature that gives you a solid-color (voted on by customers!) diaper for just $12, as well as available custom slots, and you have a revolving door of design that beats anything the Big Names can offer.
