A Few Of Our Favorite Things

Not all necessarily favorites but items I use every single day for Liam.

Bottles: We are using Avent. They leak every now and then. Actully, they always seem to leak at night. In the dark. With a screaming and very hungry baby. (Called today and they are sending me 4 new bottles for free!)
Sterilizer: Who knew? I registered for all this stuff but didn't realize how much it would be used!

Swaddle Blanket: Genius. Liam is swaddled every night and for most naps. It's funny to watch him try to kick out of it. Here is the little burrito.



Pacifier: Thank goodness he likes these and he's not picky. He'll take the big hospital pacifier and the fancy pacifiers.

Speaking of not picky. He's not a picky eater. He has breast milk and formula. He doesn't seem to know the difference. He takes both no problem. Yesterday, he was VERY hungry and I couldn't warm up the bottle fast enough so I gave it to him straight out of the fridge. He drank it, no problem.

Rockabye Baby: These CDs are awesome! We downloaded several songs on itunes. Check out the website http://www.rockabyebabymusic.com/. Liam listens to U2 and the Beatles. Nothing like Bloody Sunday in lullaby form. They also have Nine Inch Nails, Metallica and Nirvana to name a few.

Papasan Chair: He's a fan of this too. He told me. The chair has come in handy after he eats. It's better for him to sit up for a bit before going back to sleep. It helps his digestion. The vibrating chair is nice too! ;)

Bottle Warmer: We got this bottle warmer that has a little cooler too. It's handy at night so that I am not going up and down stairs in the middle of the night. At his 11pm feeding I bring up two bottles and place them in the cooler so they are handy at 2am!

Here are some recent pics of the little booger! ;)

Love the update......you're doing a lot of what I've done with beebees. We swaddled and loved it! They feel safe and secure for sure.

Congratulations! He's such a cutie!! Sounds like you've already got the "mom" thing down pat. Okay-I promise that I'm putting your wine glass in the mail TOMORROW!! It's been sitting on my desk at my office for weeks and weeks and weeks. And don't laugh at the box it's in...it's all I had at the time. It's a cute wine glass though, I promise. :) And you might need it very soon - if not already!
