little diaper bags

Ok, so I go to the Dollar Store and I buy those little baby powder diaper bags. (the ones you put stinky diapers in.) And everytime I pull one little bag out of the box, all the bags come out and then I have to stuff them back into the box (very tedious and annoying). Well, I've had it in my head for a while to make it easier and less bulky. (Carrying around that box takes up some space.)

Well, I saw this ideas about reusing grocery bags. Rerolling and sticking them in cuted-up Lysol wipes canisters. I saw this idea over at Tater Tots And Jello. Now, the little diaper bags are exactly like the grocery bags. You just roll them up really tight and stick them in a small bottle. (I was thinking about using an old Tylenol bottle, but discovered an old prescription bottle worked better cuz it fit more bags in it.)

Ta da! Then I wrote DIAPER BAGS on it and tossed it in my purse. Ooh, bonus : I can let Danger play with it, cuz now it's just a bottle, rather than a flimsy, broken box with plastic bags in it. Way safer, smaller and less frustrating.

Danger update

So - Danger is now 8 months old! Holy crap, it's gone by SOOOO fast! He's crawling, he has 2 teeth on bottom and is getting his top 2 teeth (YES RIGHT THIS SECOND!!), he stand up on anything that can hold his weight (and some things that cannot!), he sleeps thru the night, he spits raspberries and makes fart noises, he says "bab bab bab," and he can hold his bottle up by himself. He can clap his hands when he wants to, but not on command. He raises his hands when we say, "So big!" He loves baths and having photos taken. He gets excited when he sees us and when we have his blanket. He loves doing things by himself, like eating and getting into things, pulling things down and seeing how far he can get before he gets picked up or hauled away. He watches Sesame Street, he loves Elmo's World, he zones into that, and Super Why.

 Ta da! 8 Months and he's huge!!! (yes that is the same laundry basket)

I traced his hand at 4 months and again at 8 months. His hand has doubled in size (well, so has the rest of him!) but he's getting so big! I plan on doing again at 12 months, and then maybe at each 6th month interval, but we'll see how big his hands grow and how well I do to remember.

Right now, he's super cranky cuz he's getting his top 2 teeth at the SAME time! He wasn't too cranky with the 1st 2, but this time, oh boy, he is on one!

Oh, I am going to try to blog each weekend.

Ok, all photos of animals were taken in Yellowstone. All unmarked photos were also taken in Yellowstone. My camera died the night between MT and ND, so some were taken with phones... That's why there aren't as many pics as I thought...
