This link gives you the numbers to call and the details of the diaper studys. I was skeptical, but I called and two days later they called me back. They explained how it worked and they had an opening for a size 4 girl so they sent me out 40 diapers and the questionaire. I thought that they would be all white diapers so that I wouldn't be biased, but one pack was Huggies Overnites and the other is Shopko brand, possibly.
Anyway, it really works. Plus after they call you and review the survey, they send you $10 for participating.
And if you have a potty trainer, it said that sometimes they offer pull-up type products.

Also, for great diaper savings, go to Shopko and sign up for a My Extra Savings card. They send you an extra coupon attached to your Shopko ad in the mail. I get approx one per month. The last one was for $10 off a $40 purchase. Then they had Luv's on sale for $15.99 for the mega packs. So I bought 2 packs of diapers and toilet paper for $30! It's a killer deal.

Charlotte is Big!

Charlotte is 14 months old!
Stats: 24.5 lbs, 31" tall, 12 teeth
Favorite Toys: Stuffed Animals, Books, Rocking Chair, Cars. She loves to carry stuffed animals under her arm, it's so cute.
Favorite Food: Fruit, Hot Dogs, Spaghetti (especially if she can slurp it), Chicken
Words: Dada, Mom, Hot Dog, What's That, Yes, No, Mmm, Cup, Done. She loves to blab and is always talking.
Mode of Transportation: Can walk but chooses not to. She is a great speed crawler.
What I Love: She loves to dance and has a contagious smile. While getting 4 molars in the past 2 months, I have realized that she is for sure a very chill baby. She has been so good with only a little moodiness. She loves daycare and recognizes we are there when we pull up in the morning. She loves to play with her friends and from what Betty tells me, she is even a better girl there.
What I Don't Love: She has started to become scared of things. She used to love the park, but now it scares her. She is also scared of most animals. I hope we aren't getting into a "girly-girly" phase. She has also started to throw tantrums when she doesn't get her way or when she is tired.

Catching Up

So much has been going on the past couple of months. Max got married, Josh has been very busy at work, I started back at school, and Charlotte is growing like a weed. I feel like when I sit down at the computer to blog, I spend at least an hour. Since most of my computer time is spent doing school work, blogging has taken a backseat.

We went boating for the 4th. It turned out to be a great day (after the flat tire and rain). Charlotte hated the water but loved being on the boat. We enjoyed watermelon and lots of sun.

We look Charlotte swimming with some friends at their pool. At first she was very nervous but then decided it was very relaxing. We will have to get to the pool more next summer, I am sure she will like it better.

Max & Mel had a wonderful wedding. I think that the ceremony was my favorite part. Scott did such an awesome job. Melany looked beautiful and Max had a "perma-grin" all day. I know that Max will take such great care of her and we all love Melany.

I started school again. I am taking 4 classes and still working fulltime. Josh has been so wonderful to take care of Charlotte and the house in the evenings. This Saturday, I was out all day and I came home to a spotless house! Josh even cleaned the floors and toilets!
