Month 6 Favorites

With month 6 coming to an end I thought I would share our favorite products this month. For both mommy and baby.

1. Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets

These were a life saver when Addison was getting her bottom two teeth one after another. They dissolve instantly on the tongue and are homeopathic. What more could you ask for? They really seemed to take the edge off, especially at night when her teething symptoms were worse.

2. Kind Bars

These have been my go to snack lately. My favorite are the almond coconut. Yummy!

3. Baby Mum Mum's

We just started these the last week of the month and they are by far my favorite snack to pack for Addison. They are in separate packages for easy on the go. Addison wants her own food now when we go out to eat and this is perfect for that. I love the size that makes them perfect for little hands to hold. They melt in their mouth, but not too fast which is really helping Addison with chewing. Unlike most of the food I give her these end up in her belly and not in her high chair seat.

4. Baltic Amber Teething Necklace

They really do work! Well I think so at least. We started wearing ours at 3 months and immediately I noticed way less drooling. Addison really doesn't drool at all anymore! As far as teething pain goes I also think it helps. We never teethed without it so I don't have anything to compare it to but I consider Addison a good teether compared to other babies, so this might very well be from the necklace.

Our necklace is raw butter. There are many different colors to choose from as well as raw, polished, and semi-polished. The lighter the color the better they work. Also many people say that getting raw as opposed to polished is more important than color.

5.  Move and Crawl Ball

Now that Addison is sitting up this is her favorite toy to play with. It is easy for her to press the buttons to make sounds and there are lots of lights. It moves around making it fun for her to watch and eventually learn to crawl after.

Meet The Family

Hello everyone! I thought I would start my first post off by introducing my family. I'm originally from Minneapolis, MN but moved to North Dakota after high school for college. It was here that I met Evan.  We are engaged and are getting married next year. We have not set a date yet and probably won't until November. I currently work part-time only a few mornings a week. I love hair and makeup and I love watching horror movies.

Meet Evan! He is a hard working, loving, and caring father and future husband. He works in the oil field in western ND. Because of that he is not home with us every night. His schedule is 20 days on and 10 days off. So that means he is home for only 10 straight days per month. It is hard but we are strong and make it work. He absolutely loves what he does and that makes it easier on me. Thank god for FaceTime! Addison loves being able to see her dad while he is away. Evan enjoys being with friends and playing video games.

 

Meet Addison! The newest member of our little family. She was born February 23, 2014 at 3:47pm weight 8lbs 7oz and 21.5in long. She is the most perfect little girl. She loves mickey mouse club house, bath time, and being outdoors.
