Bottle drying rack
After 8 months my old bottle drying rack is falling part, well RIP. I never really liked the thing anyway. It was cheaply made, flimsy and it was a pain in the booty to clean.
I finally order what I had my eye on for months. 
It's the Boon Grass Counter top drying rackFirst of all: How cute is this????
Its a great space saver, it holds a lot more bottles then my old one and its way more easy to clean.
It's currently on sale at Amazon.com

The "aww" factor
Back during my pre-Jacob days, whenever I see or hear a baby/child cry in public (ie: plane, bus, store etc) I would roll my eyes and think "omg, why can't you keep your kid quite?"
I have just realized that I have replace the eye rolling with "Awwwww is she/he ok??"
Yesterday at a Target run with my Momma, we were in the baby clothes department, as I was digging in the sales section, I can hear a child crying (more like screaming murder), Instead of ignoring the cries, which is what my pre-baby self would have done, I find my self LOOKING for the child, instead of being annoyed, I found myself wondering if he/she was hurt? or lost?. He wasn't hurt, his mother was just on the other side of the department ignoring him while he cried like a monkey and half way out of his stroller towards freedom.
But that wasn't the point, the point IS.... that I have gone all ....SOFT and MUSHY. My old cynical and obnoxious self is slowly fading away.
What is happening to me?????
I blame this on Jacob! You are turning Mommy soft and mushy....... the inside AND outside!!!!!!
Top 5 Reasons why I love being a mom
1: Someone will always welcome me home with a big smile
2: It's a great feeling knowing someone needs me
3: Now I can make all kinds of funny faces and someone will actually enjoy them!
4: Learn to be selfless, putting someone's needs ahead of my own.
5: I never feel lazy these days. When I do get a break, I know its well deserved.

8 months Sleep Regression?? He is not 8 months YET!
The dreaded 8 months sleep regression has begun. Which means I can kiss my sleep goodbye (once again)
Putting him to bed at night time has been a nightmare, cries, cries, cries, I love the look he gives me as he is fighting sleep/me "COME ON LADY! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M UNHAPPY! DO SOMETHING!! I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP AND I DON'T WANT TO BE AWAKE EITHER!! DO SOMETHING!"
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it,I am suppose to just wait it out.
After 3 hours of google-ing here's basically what I found out
“The “8-month sleep regression” (which for some babies is closer to a 9-month sleep regression) is related to the 37-week spurt. For some reason that one just seems to cause more waking, too, than some of the other spurts do. It might also be particularly hard because many babies are smack in the middle of working on crawling or walking, and also teething"
Wonderful, we are smacked dab right in the middle of this. When he hit the 4 month growth spurt, it took about a week and a half for things to go back to normal.
*sigh* now this is supposedly be the more "awaken" spurt? ugghhh so it sounds like I will have at least one more week.
Its actually pretty amazing to watch how a baby grows into a toddler.
