Bear II, smiles, diapers

Sebby got to bring Kinderbear home again.  He brought the girl kinderbear this time.  We loved her.

This girl's hair is growing and growing!  Rachael, do you see that ponytail and clip?  So cute! 

I asked her to smile and she produced this hideous grimace.  Her real smile is much cuter, naturally.

This tiny one smiles at us ALL THE TIME---definite, unmistakeable smiles.  I still haven't been able to capture one in its full glory with the camera, but here is the tail end of one.  She is such a remarkable baby :)
The bag of disposable diapers I bought for right after she was born ran out, so now she is in the cloth and looks like a Real Nielson Baby: tiny little body with big soft bottom.  Cloth diapers always look SO BIG on newborns!  I was experimenting with making fitted diapers (using flannel pieces I had) which is why the one above is more decorative than usual---usually she just looks like this:

yay! cute clip on a beautiful girl! I am very impressed with you making your own diapers, by the way. No landfills for you! ;-)
by the way, I haven't heard from you in a Coon's Age and a Month of Sundays. :-) just wanted to say that. Been wanting to for some time as you can tell.

If I didn't already think of you as incredible, your use of cloth diapers would have convinced me.
