Wordless Wednesday: 16 Months of Fluff

Welcome to the First Annual Freedom of Cloth Carnival

This post was written for inclusion in the Freedom of Cloth Carnival hosted at Natural Parents Network by Melissa of The New Mommy Files and Shannon of The Artful Mama. This year’s carnival will run from Sunday, July 3rd through Saturday, July 9th. Participants are sharing everything they know and love about cloth diapering, including how cloth has inspired them.

In less than one week, my favorite girl will be 16 months old. Let's celebrate by looking at these sixteen months in cloth.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures in cloth prior to one month old. I wasn't obsessed or really even aware of the cuteness a cloth diaper could add before that. Prefolds and white covers just didn't inspire me. So we begin at one month!

1 month old, in a Thirsties Fab Fitted

2 Months old, in an iPlay swim diaper

3 Months old, in a Bumkins AIO

4 Months old, in EcaPants

5 Months old, in a prefold and Thirsties Duo Wrap

6 Months old, in EcaPants

7 Months old, in Daisy Doodles Bikini Britches

8 Months old, in a mama made fitted

9 Months old, in a mama made fitted

10 Months old, in evil corporate training pants

11 Months old, Under the Nile training pants

12 Months old, in an iPlay swim diaper

13 Months old, in Gerber training pants

14 Months old, in a mama made fitted, minus the soaker
(great underwear!)

15 Months, in Lil' Baby Chaps with prefold

Almost 16 months, in a WhyMommy trainer
