Products I HEART

These are a couple of  my favorite products that I absolutely love and probably has made my life a little easier. Here's my list:

Fisher Price Bouncer - "how now brown cow"

This has given us a couple of more minutes of "me time." We place Jacob on the bouncy when we are either gathering his diaper bag; picking up the kitchen, bedrooms, or living room; using the computer; working on lesson plans; playing video games (the hubby); or just to get a break from JC's hyper days.

Fisher Price Luv U Zoo Swing

Whenever Jacob is too cranky or just for fun, we place him on this swing. He loves the little zoo animals that are rotating above him. You can rotate the swing portion 3 different ways. It can move from side to side or back and forth. It also has different sound settings with songs and outside cricket noises. When he is extremely tired he'll knock out on the swing.

Palmolive Ultra Baby Bottles, Toy and Dish Wash Liquid

We use this to wash his bottles, bottle nipples, pacifiers and teething toys. Smells very nice and doesn't leave an "after-smell" on nipples.

Little Noses Saline Spray/Drops for Dry for Stuffy Noses

Jacob has been stuffy since the day he was born. Dr. Patel suggested we use "Little Noses" to suction out his mucus. We simply place 2-3 drops in each nostril and suction out his mucus with a suction-ma-jig-thingy. This product is non-medicated, so we were told to use as much as needed. Poor JC, he really gets irritated when he can't breath through his nose while drinking his bottle, he'll get frustrated, which turns to a full blown cry. Once we take out all the bad, slimy, boogers out, he is a happy camper again. Love this product!

Bestever Giraffe Infant Play Mat

This was given to Jacob from our neighbor back in Cali, Tym (thank you!!) JC likes to hang out on this play mat. He takes most of his naps on the giraffe. It's so soft, I wish it was big enough for me to sleep on. Jacob is SO lucky to get to sleep on this!

Pinterest Invite

Would anyone PLEASE spare an invite to pinterest? I would ♥ an invite... Oh puuurrrty PLEASE!!! I'm so desperate hehehe my email is prisconcepcion@gmail.com. Thanks a bunch! :)

I like to eat.eat.eat. apples and bananas....

Jacob can FINALLY eat solids! Whoop Whoop! We got the "ok" to start giving him pureed food. We cheated, of course, and gave him his first taste of solids when we were in Cali. My Mom decided to give him some pureed oatmeal when she babysat him while Lester and I went to go eat. She said he liked it, but the worry wart that I am, I didn't continue it. We first started him off with applesauce, since he has already drank a little bit of Gerber apple juice diluted with water before. He LOVED it!! I was so scared to give him more so I only fed him a couple of spoonfuls. Today we introduced bananas and he LOVED that too!   

 He ALMOST FINISHED the ENTIRE JAR!!  

I am at in awe with the experiences that I am going through with him and there's so MUCH MORE to look forward too!

Happy 4 months!

Jacoby is 4 months today! Whoa! He is growing up to be his own little person now. It's weird how each and everyday that goes by he is starting to act more like a little boy than a baby. I remember when I just couldn't wait until the day he started to smile or the day when he started to babble. These days are coming at me like a lightning bolt. My baby boy isn't so baby anymore **tear**

Back to work... Bummer!

Summer vacay is OVER! I am back at work and teaching a class full of 2nd graders. I ENJOYED my time with JC. I ♥'ed every minute of it and I was dreading the day I had to go back to work. My stomach would literally turn just thinking about it. I am fortunate to have a career that let's me have a good amount of quality time with my son. I work 9 weeks and get 2 weeks off, the cycle continues until summer rolls around and then I get 6 weeks off. My husband works in a family business with his mom, uncle and grandparents. He takes JC to work with him and they all get to enjoy taking care of him. We are VERY LUCKY parents! On July 29th of last year I found out I was pregnant. I was completely shocked and yet very excited at the same time. I look at Jacob everyday and I thank God for blessing me with a beautiful baby boy.

I placed Jacob in his bounce bounce baby jungle and he LOVE it! We had a blast watching him play with the toys. It was neat to see how he reaches out for things now, its the cutest thing ever.
