Anyone else want to share pictures of their new baby??

Cormac is 5 weeks old as of yesterday, and he's getting so big!

Here is one from right after he was born:

Here are a couple from the last few days:

Being silly:

As an aside: anyone else have issues keeping their baby in clothes? This is our first time successfully doing cloth diapers, and it just never seems worth putting anything on him since it won't fit right anyway or pee will seep out of the fleece cover if the clothes are tight or if a tiny sliver of diaper pokes out. He's also very hot natured but has to be swaddled or wrapped to be calm, so clothing him seems like overkill when he's already sweating. Just curious if anyone else had this issue since I've noticed he's just in a diaper in almost all our pictures :).

Please share some photos! I'd love to see some other babes :)

Oh, oh! He is so cute!  I'll share!  

We never dressed my son because he was so small and it was warmer.  This girl is always dressed, usually in wool and wrapped in a blanket.  She hates to have her feet uncovered and so we try to keep socks on her all the time too. :)

Her first day with Oma and big brother.

Her cuteness. :)

This is Thomas Frederick. It's winter here so he's always bundled up.

Oh, they are all so precious.  I need to upload some newer ones of my girl. 

Have you thought about trying some PUL covers?  I could never really use wool or fleece covers under clothing...I usually used them with a t-shirt.  I'm using prefolds this time around, and have really been liking both Thirsties Duos and Swaddlebees wraps.  Surprisingly, most of her newborn clothes have fit over her fluffy buns, though now NB are starting to get a bit tight.  Tucking the diaper into the cover gussets really well has kept her dry.

Ohh, they're all so beautiful and healthy-looking! I want to see more, come on ladies! :)

Oh I'm so glad to see these pictures! I just love soaking up that newborn sweetness!

My problem with the diaper covers is my budget, I think! I can make fleece covers quickly and easily. I made a PUL cover, but the elastic on the outer edge still gets wet enough to give his clothes wet spots. We were given lots of clothes, but they're all onesies it seems. I'm not even sure where to find t shirts to buy! We're using flat diapers underneath the covers, and they've worked out great, for whatever that's worth .

tbutton- you can just trim off the bottom of the onesie and make it into a shirt!  Especially if you have lots of them.  Jersey cotton doesn't need to be hemmed or you can just do a rolled hem on the machine.  They tend to work best this way if you use one size up from what ever he is wearing currently.

The thirsties duo wraps are pretty great.  But if you aren't dressing him then it sounds like what you are doing works great.

Thanks, Anilia. I'm due to get out the sewing machine anyway, so I might just have to work on some alterations!

I need to upload a new photo of her... these were the only two on my laptop.  They were both taken on her first day home, when she was two days old...  She turned three weeks on Tuesday, so she looks a bit more "grown up" now!  ;)
