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

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

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?

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.

Playing Hookie and touching a museum

As a working mom, I often feel guilty for not spending enough time with my child.  So once in a while I would take a day off and just spend some time with him.
Today I did just that,  One of my best friend (we go way back.. like 3rd grade back) told me yesterday she wanted to take her kids to please touch museum, So i decided to take the day off and tag along. 

I LOVE the please touch museum, Its just the cutest place. Jacob had such a great time with his friends, we saw a puppet show, did story time, interactive exhibits... and so much more.

Price of admission: Children and Adults: $15

If you are ever in Philadelphia, it's a must see.


Here are some pictures from their adventure.

This is Jacob on the stage at the puppet show... dancing his little heart out.

Must Have Items for the Office

My office is my 2nd home. I actually spend more time here than at my own home.

There are a few things I must have here at all times.

Aveeno baby lotion

I told ya I love the Aveeno baby lotion. I love the oatmeal, it keeps my skin nice and smooth. I love the lavender scent at home, I had to get a Fragrance free one for work. I have one of those co- workers with a sensitive nose.



Method Hand sanitizer

from target its the "sea minerals" kind. Not sure what that means but if gives off a nice clean scent, not over powering.



EOS Lip balm

I love the sweet mint smell, its like gum and the packaging is super cute. I am a sucker for cute packaging's





















Up&Up brand Disinfecting Wipes

Germs Germs and MORE Germs! the office is full of germs!

I always wipe down my desk, keyboard, mouse and phone... once a day...





















Water

You can't live without it!






















I also have my emergency makeup bag, floss, toothbrush and paste, tylenol, bags of noodles, cans of soup, a whole bunch of lipgloss, bobby pins, hair ties and nail filer. If I ever get stuck in the office, I could survive a few days here with no problem.
