Sweetleaf Baby Products

While shopping at a local baby boutique's end of the year sale, I came across this baby lotion called Sweetleaf Baby made by a company called "Thymes" and tried a sample of it- and I loved it!! I bought the gift set which includes the lotion, a bar soap, shampoo/baby wash, and washcloth- and it was my lucky day cause it was on sale! It's paraben free which is great for baby's health! The scent is incredible, definitely reminds me of a new baby smell but is very unique! And the packaging is precious, just by opening the box you knew you had purchased something special!

Baby Legs!

Now that Caiden has started crawling, I've really fallen in love with Baby Legs. We dress him in a onesie and then slip on a pair of Baby Legs and he loves zipping around on the floors while wearing them. I like how they give him some warmth without the bulk of pants and this makes it easier for him to crawl. I'm sure they also add some comfort for those little knees on the hard floors. You can even slip them on baby's arms to add some warmth while wearing T-shirts, pretty cool!

A favorite teether...

Caiden has become more and more in favor of this teether since he has actually started cutting a tooth and his second one is on the way. It's the Raz-Berry Teether made by RaZbaby, we bought ours from Meijer. It's a unique looking thing but I'm assuming it feels really good on the gums cause Caiden frequently selects it amidst his pile of toys and then chews on it longer than any of the other objects we've used for teething pain. So I have to say I recommend it, it's also nice cause there's no need to chill it, it's just perfect the way it is so it's always ready!

Informative Website...

I came across this website while searching for info on food storage/serveware that is PVC and BPA free... it's very informative and has lots of good info on how to make your life and baby's life greener and safer!

Got my Ergo!

I just have to share my love of my new Ergo baby carrier! Two of my good friends have one and highly recommended it to me. We used a Baby Bjorn up until this point and it worked out pretty good, but now that Caiden is bigger he's almost outgrown it and our backs start to hurt cause he's heavy! So I decided to ask for an Ergo for Christmas and I'm so glad I did! We watched the DVD tutorial tonight and both my hubby and I practiced putting Caiden in it and it was so easy, just a couple clicks of the buckles and presto you are ready to go! It's super comfy- our backs feel great and Caiden really seems comfy too. His body relaxed right away and he started sucking on the arm strap... I also got the sucking pads that velcro on and make the straps even more perfect for babies to fulfill their need to mouth things. I will post a pic of Caiden being toted in his Ergo as soon as possible... I just love seeing pics of babies in Ergos- they look so peaceful and happy:-)!
