The Global Fluffy What?!

Well you wouldn't guess what Mommy did this time.

She participated in what's called the Global Fluffy Bum.
Whats that? Oh, it's a diaper cover that has traveled around the world, and it's made it to us. 
Mommy said it's a global effort of cloth diapering awareness towards mothers.

Unfortunately, there was nothing a doggy could do with the diaper. 
I couldn't sniff anything interesting out of it, Mommy said it's because they have very specific caring instructions, so I wouldn't be able to smell any of the smellies doggies like to sniff. 
And I obviously cannot chew on it. Mommy would put me on time out! Bummer.

It was around for about a week or so, and one day, Mommy and Auntie Lisha decided to take some pictures of Baby K in the diaper.
Baby K loved playing with just a diaper on!
I, of course, couldn't get the hang of it. What's the deal with this Global Fluff anyway?
Auntie Lisha thought that Mommy should be dressed in a batik skirt and a kebaya top, to show some Indonesian tradition.
She took pictures of Baby K and the *strange* stiff holey dachshund.  Mommy told me it wasn't a real dog, it was a mancala. Whatever that is. But I knew something was off! As, aside from the stiffness, and bloated head, it has some reeeeally freaky whiskers. 
Mommy said that back in the old days, little children played mancala every day with their friends. It was a favorite traditional game, along with marbles and other traditional child plays.

So, while they took some pictures, I decided to bring out my rubber toy bone, that is, well, not really a bone anymore, since I chewed the edges off! Maybe they'd want to play with me, instead of doing this boring photo shoot! Oops. Caught on camera.
 
Well, at least Baby K wanted to play with me a bit.
And I almost munched on colorful beads. Mommy played a trick on me and told me they were yummies. But my sniffers prove they're not! Almost.
So yeah, Mommy and Baby K and Auntie Lisha were pretty excited over this whole Global Fluffy Bum thing. Mommy said it's great to be a part of things like this to share the excitement and let people know that wearing cloth diaper is fashionable, cute, environmentally friendly and economical.
If you ask me, I'd rather someone play with me and my poor little rubber bone. But hey, at least I got to be in the pictures!
Now that it's finally done, after a bit or cuddle time, and a little conversation with the Teddy,
It's cleaning up time, Mommy! Look at those beads scattered all over the floor.
It wasn't my mess Mommy :)
So there was my unusual doggy day!

PS. Thank you for the beautiful pictures, Auntie!

A Day at the Pool & Park with Baby K

Mommy, Daddy, and Baby K went to the pool one sunny afternoon...
 Baby K was ecstatic! He loves the water!
Daddy blew bubbles for Baby K. He quite liked it, and even tried to do the same thing!
He ended up taking a gulp of pool water. Which he did enjoy!
And then there was some snacking for Baby K... 
All the splashing made this little guy very hungry! 
Grandmama shared her french fries with the hungry bub.
Look at that belly!
After all that swimming and splashing, they went to the park. 
Mommy loved seeing Daddy and Baby K walk on the grass...
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon for a family outing!
