Wordless Wednesday

Yummy Food! LO, enjoying her first taste of sweet potatoes!

My favorite things, Monday

We made a decision on our highchair....and the winner is.....

The Inglesina!

It's a little pricey, but we got a great deal off ebay! I LOVE this highchair...it's compact, folds up super easy, and it's easy to clean. The cushion on the seat is some sort of special material, of course I don't remember what it is but a wet paper towel cleans it up easy! More importantly, it is super stylish! It has a sleek, modern look and everyone who comes through my house falls in love with it!

So check it out if you're in the market!

New Mom Tip

GET OUT!

One of the things I am SO glad I have done with my baby from the very beginning was to get her out of the house. Ever since she came home from the hospital we have been on the go.

In the beginning it was just a stroller ride here and there or maybe a quick car ride. Now that LO is 5 months old she loves doing new things and going new places. I signed up for a romp n roll class...we go every Monday and LO LOVES it! It's good stimulation for her. When we don't have romp n roll, we'll go to the mall, park, baby gym...anywhere really. Sometimes it doesn't even matter where we go just as long as we go. Now that the weather is getting cold it's especially important to keep my baby active. Babies get bored AND get cabin fever just like adults do! So, I highly recommend getting out and about. The earlier you do it, the more your baby will enjoy it. I have some friends who have kids that hate car rides, and hate going to new places where there are lots of people. All babies are different, but I really believe that exposing our LO to new places and people early on, has helped her to be such a social baby!

I can't believe I have been away this long!

After having issue after issue with our old laptop we are officially mac owners now! So, I am back to regular postings :)

I have lots to talk about too, so stay tuned!!!

4 months!

No wordless Wednesday today...so sorry!

First, I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Dad :) He is 57 today, and is the greatest father EVER!!!

Secondly, LO had her 4 month check-up today! She was offically 4 months last Friday, but as of today she is in the 90th percentile for weight and 95th for height!!! The pediatrician was quite impressed that she was rolling over, and said she is doing perfectly! The doctor also said I could start her on cereal (with a spoon) whenever we felt like it, but usually babies start around 5 months. LO has been getting cereal in her bottle already, I'm so excited about feeding her food from a spoon though! She's growing up SO fast...not sure when we will actually start with the food, maybe once we make a decision on a highchair. ha!

Highchair Overload

We haven't bought a highchair yet, but now that LO is 4 months is about time to purchase one! She has been getting cereal twice a day in her bottle, soon she will actually be eating it from a bowl off of a spoon! (She is growing up so fast)!!! I've been researching highchairs, and seriously?? There are SO many!

They range from 70 bucks to 300!!!!! I just can't seem to justify to myself spending 300 dollars on a highchair, However I know I want something that will last so that I can use it again with future children. I DON'T want a cloth cover on the seat because that just means I will have to throw it in the washing machine everyday. I want something that's easy to clean and wipe down, and sturdy, and if it's cute that's a plus! There are so many to choose from though, my head is spinning, I'll let you know once I've made a decision...any suggestions are welcome!

Still Alive!

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile, I've been having internet problems at my house...I hope to start blogging again regularly though!

Not too much to report, other than LO is officially rolling over now! The past few mornings when I had been going into her room she was laying on her stomach, but she wasn't rolling over during the day, so me and OH hadn't seen her roll yet. Sure enough, Tuesday she rolled over on her play mat and has become quite the pro at it now! The downside to rolling over, is her night time routine though. She's rolling over so much in her sleep, she's waking herself up...which means I'm up at least 4 times a night getting her back to sleep! It's like having a newborn all over again! Any suggestions???

My bulldog's cherry eye, popped back out! Yea, 5 days after surgery which means he had to have surgery AGAIN this past Monday to completely remove the gland! Why they couldn't have done that in the first place is beyond me! So this past week has been busy with mobile baby and doped up bulldog, but happily things are starting to level out again!!!
