My Favorite quick and instant Lunch

Buying lunch everyday at work can get really expensive.  So whenever I get a chance to stop by H-Mart, I always pick up a box (for four) of these Udon Noodles, its yummy, super easy to make and its cheap  $2.50 each.   It really fills me up!

     Just add hot water and pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes

and you will have some Yummy Goodness!!!

Sidenote:  How cute are the holiday coke cans with the polar bears!!!!!

Look who's 19 Months today!

Where does the time go????

He is 19 months today!  In a blink of an eye, my little baby love turn into a big boy love!

Status

• Diaper Size: 4
• Clothing Size: 18-24 months
• Shoe Size:  7
• Weight and Height: TBD (well check up on 12/21)
• Current Shows: caillou and super why.   He still likes his Sesame street but he is totally into caillou these days.

He is learning things at such a fast pace... it's kinda scaring me a little.

He tells me what he wants to eat, by saying  "Yessssss"  (he drags out his "s") or "No!"

He can say YOGURT!

He throws his own diapers away in the diaper champ.  (I am waiting for the day he can change his own diapers LOL)

He will keep saying NO over and over and over again if I am watching anything thats not on the sprout channel.

He laughs when anyone farts (himelf included)

He can say grandma, grandpa, uncle and auntie to my husband and my parents and siblings.

He knows his animals, Horse, cat, dog, duck, pig, ETC
He know to get his shoes to go out when I say "shoe shoe"
He knows the "if your happy and you know it song"
and he just starting trying to sing the caillou theme song

I am sure I am missing a whole bunch of stuff, but that's all I can remember for now.

I can't believe he is 19 Months!! 5 more months until his 2nd Birthday! oh my!  Is it time to start planning his party?? hehehe.

Awww my baby love, you are growing up way too fast.

It's teething time = Sad baby

Jacob is finally getting his molars in, and he is the saddest boy in the world :(

For the pass 2 weeks He has been;

1. Drooling alot
2. his gums are sensitiv (he usually enjoying brushing his teeth but not he wont let me near him with a tooth brush)
3. He has been very fussy
4. Tossing and turning in his sleep
5. and bad breath ewww
6. Refusing food

This is the hardest part, I am so scared he is not getting enough to eat!
He usually enjoys all types of food, but now the only thing he would eat is soup mixed with rice.  So that's all I have been making for him.   He still enjoy his yogurt and milk.

I am taking him to the dentist on saturday just to check things out, hopefully everything will be fine.  Sometimes I feel I need a professional to tell me everything is fine, so I can rest easy.

The only thing that seems to help him is the Zoli Gummy sticks

You can pick them up from amazon for $9.97

 

My Review on the Zoli Gummy stick

NewBorn Must haves

It's been awhile since Jacob has been a Newborn, but after many trial and error I have come up with a list of newborn must haves.



Born Free baby bottles

This bottle is leak proof. 
It comes with a  "venting system" has a little, rubbery insert that goes under the nipple and protrudes into the bottle. this protuberance as an air venting slit that keeps the nipple from collapsing, and of course it's BPA free
Jacob has never had any gas problem and he is still using Born Free products, like the sippy cups and straw cups.

The fisher price Rock and play sleeper

I wish I found this from the start,  Jacob was in a regular bassinet for the first 2 months and like all newborns he would wake every hour screaming and crying.  While I was on my babies r us run, I saw this and there was a sticker on the box that reads "Your baby will sleep thur the night"   I was in such a desperate sleep deprived haze. I actually picked it up and just threw it in my cart.  I think that was the smartest thing I have ever done in my life.  The first night I put him in there he slept for more than 3 hours straight!  For a new mom that's a whole lotta sleep!
This sleeper is fold able, so when I visit my mom I would bring this along with ease.
I recommend this to all my girlfriends and have bought them as gifts and each and everyone of them have thank me for it. Your welcome ladies!




Boppy Pillow

We wished this for feedings and did his tummy time on it.  He used to do little push ups on it.  It was sooo darn cute!
















Bright Starts Ingenuity Portable Swing, Bella Vista

 
Nothing really entertained Jacob, but this swing did its Job.  I love the sweet music its plays.  Jacob has take a few wonderful naps in this.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original

This made taking him grocery shopping, mall or doctor so much easier

Skip Hop Pronto Diaper Changer Kit

A diaper clutch is what I call this.  I load it up with diapers and wipes.  It is so much easier than taking the whole diaper bag in the bathroom with me while I am out.  I can clean everything up with one hand.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A & D Diaper Rash Ointment

OK, I hate the smell of this, but it does wonders for diaper rash.  I would put in on him before bed and in the morning his rash will be all healed! like magic!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

So that's the list of my newborn must haves, stay tuned for my Toddler must haves.

Great Find

I love target! I can always find some great clearance items.

I stopped over to target during lunch yesterday and saw a sales person loading this Cars Table on the clearance section. 

This is the prefect little table for him!  My Brother and sister in law bought him an elmo couch that will work with this.  The price? a whooping $6.95!

He can learn some table manners! hahahaha 
He had dinner at his little table for the first time last night.  He wanted me and my husband to join him there... which we did.... we had to sit on the floor, Japaneses style.   It's just a tad uncomfortable for us, but he loved it.
This also came with dry eraser markers so you can draw on the table.... we will be hiding those from him for a while.

Birthday Weekend

First I need to say I have the most amazing friends and family a gal could ask for.

I turned the big 3 0 on Sunday Dec 4th. My friends and family has made it such an amazing event.

On Friday night, I was just suppose to have dinner with my hubby, my brother. my SIL, my BFF and her BF, but it turned out to be a huge surprise birthday dinner with all my friends! I was truly surprised and had an amazing time.

My mom (whom is the best cook ever) would cook a huge homemade meal with the birthday boy or gal's favorite dishes.  So on Saturday she did just that, and addition to that, my brother and sister in law decorated my mom's house in a hello kitty/30th birthday theme! hahaha it was super cute!
We had Crabs, lobsters, shrimps, chickens and many more, needless to say.. I pigged out... big time!

On Sunday, my wonderful husband took me to the Poconos, a couples resort get away. We had suite with our own Private pool and jacuzzi.  It was a much needed R&R for the both of us.
(Jacob had  a sleep over with my parents while hubby and I was away)

I even got a little "Happy Birthday Mommy" phone call from my sweet little boy (ok it sounds more like "hapy boo mummie") 
and today is Tuesday, I maybe back at work, but my coworkers have surprised me with a wonderful birthday breakfast.

It was a FIVE days celebration!

My friends and family have made turning 30 into such a wonderful experience. I am truly blessed

Pictures will be up soon.

Gag gifts from my BFF Mary

Only 25 days until Christmas

I can't believe it's December already, this year has really flown by.

So it's time to get my Christmas list together and guess who is on top of that list??
My little Man, Jacob!

Here are a few things I have on my list for him:

Melissa and Doug
Pound & Roll Tower
I think he will have so much fun hitting the balls with the hammer..... but what else will he hit with that hammer?? The flat screen TV perhaps?



 
Pocoyo & Friends

He loves watching pocoyo and he loves cars so this will be prefect.  His eyes light up everytime this comes on the commercials.

BUT they didn't have lighting McQueen.  They only had Doc and Mater left.  We are going to order this online.

Toms
Grey Wool Tiny TOMS Botas
He can never have too many shoes

I love skip Hop products, they are so well made.

Wow, that is a lot of stuff....... didn't seem like it in my head.... maybe I need to skim the list a little.
