Teeth!

So I've previously blogged about how Wilson's two bottom teeth are coming in and in this video I hope you can kind of see them!

He loves to be tickled and makes the funniest noises when we tickle him!



Today was another busy day of trying to juggle baby and trying to pack the rest of our stuff. We have 5 more days left and HOPEFULLY will be done before then! I still have ALOT of cleaning and donating to do. PHEW!

Oh no!

Today was a icky day. Wilson is teething and today was very fussy. Not horribly but he whined a lot and didn't take a very long afternoon nap. So I was dealing with that and Andy and his dad were moving our stuff and while they had a load my bookshelf that I had built, fell in the road and is now trashed.



I previously had blogged about how happy I was to have them. I had bought two and now am down to one. Oh the sadness!

Unfortunately it was pretty wrecked so there was no covering it up of any sort and I couldn't live with it being in the condition it was in.
Soooo.. I guess I can either buy a new one or buy a smaller one.

They still have the bookshelves being sold so I can buy this smaller 3 shelf one.



But I haven't decided if that's something I want to do. I think it would be great for our dvds that we have. We were able to fit our dvds in the first two shelves. I guess if Andy had his old dvd collection we might of had more shelves to have to use but that is not the case. Oh well... I'm starting to realize that DVDs are just a waste of money and space nowadays anyways. I've never been a "I need to have a dvd collection so people can think I'm cool" person. I make sure the dvds I do have are ones that I will watch over and over again.

Hello Pride and Prejudice!


Anyways.. the day is almost done for me and I needed to get my blog on. Hope you enjoyed!

NaBloPoMo 2010

Some of the blogs I happened to read are going to be doing NaBloPoMo 2010 this month and I figured I should try too!

This means I have to post a blog everday for a month! While in the future blogging everyday would probably get old, I want to at least try once!

Wilson had his first Halloween and while he's too young to really get what's going on, I knew he had a good time getting to see all the people and children. He sat in his stroller chomping on his crinkly book and looking around. It was also the first time we sat him in his stroller and not in his infant seat. Wow! My little baby is getting big!

I'll have to add pictures but right now it's been a little busy with moving out and still working on moving, and well with a baby it's doubly hard! My life revolves around my son's schedule and that is MORE than fine!
I love having him on a schedule it has made our lives just so-so-SO much easier! He goes down for his naps easily (I would say a good 98% of the time) and goes to bed easily as well.

Considering he is now a TEETHING baby this is amazing! His bottom two teeth are poking out and when he smiles you can see them! I can't wait to post newer pictures of them. Ahh the joys of being a mom!

Everything he does is amazing, even when he doesn't even realize he's doing it!

So look out November! I got a lot of posts to try to write about!

Etsy!

Man I love etsy! What a great way to help promote people and handmade items! I have bought a couple things off of etsy that I previously blogged about. Well when I was signed in the other day I saw I could make a little widget of things that I liked so I thought I would share.

New Layout!

So through my random blog searching I came across a really fun blog and I loved the layout! Turns out its one of the premade ones that you can download through blogger.

The original Layout background is orange but when I imported the layout style the old background I used to have kind of stayed and changed the orange to the blue and I just gotta say I love it!!

Still keeping the credit for the old one up on here though but I think I may be sticking with this one for a while. I like how simple and clean it looks!

What do you think?

today's babysteal

oh man I am so jealous of todays babysteal!

if you dont know Babysteals is a website where everyday they have a "steal" of a baby item. It could be anything! Some times its babylegs or maternity clothes or toys or outfits. Pretty much about anything! So far I have bought a couple things off of babysteals and I wanted to blog about them.

The first thing I bought off of babysteals was my diaperbag. It's a dante beatrix diaper bag and so far I really like it for when we are going to be gone longer than just a couple hours. I can fit all my diapers and wipes and toys and it has a really nice changing pad with it.



I do have one gripe and that is that unless I take everything out of my purse I have to keep my own separate purse too. I need to find a little pouch or something so that when I have the diaper bag I dont need to lug my purse around too.

Lets see I spent about 64.00 for that diaper bag the regular price being 140.00 so I got it for half the price after shipping.

My next babysteal was an Organic Ergo Carrier. These normally run for 135.00 and I got mine for 80.00 after shipping. This again was almost half the price.



I loved putting Wilson in this in the newborn stage. He loved to be snuggled and if I had things I needed to do I had 2 free hands. I want to buy the newborn insert next time for my next child because I was always worried he was going to slide out but sometimes I would just wrap him in a light cotton or flannel receiving blanket and I got the same effect.

I haven't used it out as much as I thought I would though. I do find it easier to put Wilson in his carseat/stroller and push that around and I have felt sometimes that both Wilson and I would both get hot especially this summer because it was SOOOOO Ridiculously hot this summer. UGH!


My last babysteal that I have bought is the Innobaby Packin Smart Sets. This thing is pretty cool!



I got a 2 pack set for about 20 bucks after shipping and these things are about 36 bucks. I had bought a cheap formula dispenser like this one:



Looks super cute but let me tell you it is a PAIN to get that lid back off. It drives me absolutely crazy!! ARGH!!!

So this innobaby one is a lot easier you just stack however many you need and press the sides to lift or take off whichever one you need fill it up with whatever and stack it back on. Easy and super easy to clean too!

I want to buy one more since I gave one to my sister in law as a gift which brings me back to what I was jealous about!

Looks like they had more innobaby packin smart stacks for sale today and these ones were in colors!

I have just a plain white one but I would've loved to buy one in the blue or yellow.



I'll have to try checking back and seeing if they will put it back up for sale.

That's another nice thing about babysteals is if you are paitent and there was something you saw but decided to not get but really wish you had, there is always a chance they will put it back up for sale again!

Of course Babysteals is bad if you are like me and love to shop. It's sooo hard to not check everyday and not want to buy the steal. Well except for when it's girly stuff but if I ever have a girl.. it will be game over for sure!

NOM NOM NOM

I've been feeding Wilson a small amount of cereal to get him prepared for solids. As a first time mom I had no idea what to do. One of my parenting books said to give him his bottle and halfway stop and give him the cereal and then finish the bottle.
Well that was a HUGE mistake. Wilson immediately got very angry with me for taking his bottle away. Sooo.. I knew next time not to feed him like that again.

Next up trying to give him his cereal before his bottle. Well that didn't go over so well either. I feed him the cereal in the morning and normally when he first wakes up he is ready to eat. So I think he was too impatient to really want to try eating from the spoon.

Finally we've got it down. I feed him AFTER he has eaten his 6-8 ounces. I give him a good burp and let him hang out for a little bit and then feeds him! YAY!

I think he is doing really good considering he and I both have no clue what we are doing. I can already tell Wilson will be eating us straight to the poor house. What an appetite this little boy has!

I can't wait until we start feeding him actual food food. Although when I see what his diapers are going to be like I might be changing my tune.

It's just another little milestone for our growing little guy. Everyday Andy and I are constantly amazed at how he is growing.
