I think I misunderstood this post yesterday. I posted my pics on your Facebook page. My FB wouldn’t let me tag you. Here are the links to my little one from yesterday:

My one year old cruising in the kitchen for some dinner in his BG =p
here is my now one year old in my favorite pink diaper! She’s on a bed of roses. She’s such a sweet little girl and the flowers just make her look oh so sweet!

Here’s the link to our little stash of BumGenius 4.0 Elementals that we have received so far as gifts. :~) We are SO excited to start using them. Hopefully, our little one will be arriving in the next couple weeks! It wouldn’t let me tag Cotton Babies or BumGenius on Facebook, by the way.

This is Hayden (4 months) wearing his BG 4.0. We have had 2 out of our 3 kids in BG 3.0 and 4.0 and love them so much. I wish I wasn’t so scared with the first child to try cloth. I recommend them to everyone. Thank you for making such a wonderful product.

Pretty much our entire stash is from Cotton Babies. Until very recently (two hours ago), Oliver had only worn prefolds and covers. We got fluff mail from you yesterday with three BG 3.0s, so we’re putting one of those to the ultimate test: nighttime!
Here’s a photo of what’s clean: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=45980831&l=0cd811203d&id=1800880

My som in baby legs and a cloth diaper.
This is a pic. of my nephew in his CD. He (and his mom) are the reason I just started cloth diapering… as in, they are currently in the wash getting “prepped” haha.

So, you say a pic of our favorite CB product-here’s our flip! We have a zillion pics of her in fluffy CottonBabies goodness (and other cb products underneath…), and this is my favorite PIC of her in a CB product! She’s so happy to have such a trim cover over her prefold…and snappi…all from CB of course! So sorry to have missed you today-we are in town and were planning to come, but alas, a molar came through today and she was way to crabby to have fun. Awesome that you’re including us in this!!

We have been loving our BG diapers for 2 years! Although our son has now outgrown them, we love the 4.0’s and are saving most of our 3.0’s for the next baby whenever that will be!
I wasn’t able to tag Cotton Babies the real way ~ but here is the link!

I live to take pictures of my kids, here is one I took of my guy a while back in his Elemental. I can’t take a new one since he is in bed and i just saw this post!
Just posted this pic of my son and I on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6195406&l=f11f129c12&id=553356841
I would have needed to post at least a dozen pictures to show off all of our favorite Cotton Babies products. 🙂 Congrats on the grand opening!

Here is my little guy in both a Bumgenius butternut diaper and BG BabyLegs.
We’re on vacation, so I’m very limited with photos! Here’s a picture of the play kitchen my husband and I made our daughter for Christmas. It now contains (this photo was taken before she opened her gifts Christmas Eve) a Plan Toy microwave and several Plan Toy food sets purchased from Cotton Babies. She LOVES playing with her kitchen!

Rainboots and a Flip! Oh, and a smile, too! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=33913791&l=39e9b1b846&id=26002107
This is my favorite picture.
This was my son’s first time in a cloth diaper. He was 2 weeks old, wearing a BG 3.0… This is my absolute favorite pic!

Kelan with his Plan Toys – Sit N Walk Puppy! We gave it to him for Christmas…it’s so cute! I ordered the puppy months ago when you had the crazy website issues with the seconds sale and got a great deal on him and some Haba toys! I’m sure he’s wearing a BG 3.0 under those pants! 😉 I’d love to win the 4.0’s and make all my diapers BGs!!! They are the best diapers I have!

My hubby is sporting our Moby Wrap, which we both love. Our daughter is a big fan of it, too.
I couldn’t “tag” cottonbabies. I don’t think Facebook with let you.
We love our FuzziBunz!! Our daughter’s newborn pictures turned out great wearing them.

Here’s a picture of my little guy in his moby wrap with me! This was taken back when he was having severe stomach issues and cried most of the day. The ONLY thing that would calm him was riding with me in the moby. You can even see that his eyes were still watery in this picture!

Here I am wearing an Ergo from Cotton Babies and a mei tei (bought from Babyhawk). Both boys are in BGs. I have got my hands full but I just ordered my Ergo backpack to make things a little easier.
…and here is another one from my blog: http://katdale.blogspot.com/2010/11/photo-therapy-call-me-supermom.html
PS For some reason I can’t tag the photo for Cotton Babies, it is only letting me tag friends, not pages. Hmm.

I even tagged the piece of muffin on the floor next to him, haha!
Side note: You can’t actually “tag” companies and pages, only friends in photos.
Here is a picture of my son, Max, opening his favorite Christmas gift from his Uncle Jimmy! They are new BG 4.0’s! Such a great gift! Way better than toys!
