Cute Baby Bibs Review
I don’t know about you… but my sweet Bubby (who turns 2 THIS MONTH… holy crap!) is the KING of messes when it comes to meals. Especially meals involving soup. He gets it all over himself, the table… it’s insane. Then we were introduced to these bibs. ::Cue dramatic music:: NeverMess saves the day! These toddler bibs are made from a product called Gentle-Flex, a soft material that is eco-friendly, 100% non-toxic, BPA and lead free! The closure on these are easy for mom or dad to put on their toddler… but not as easy for your child to yank free! They’re soft, flexible, and very easy to…

Why We Do the Things We Do…
I firmly believe that once you have children everyone else forgets the filter for their brain/mouth… seriously. You’d be amazed at the questions and comments you receive when someone doesn’t understand or believe in a decision or life choice you have made for your child. Not only in your day to day face to face life but even in your virtual online communities! It’s insane! We are a breastfeeding, babywearing, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, baby-led weaning family… and for a lot of people some of those life choices are hard to understand. I’ve had comments about all of these so I’m going to explain these and some other choices as well.…

Stubborn Baby and Avocados
So. I attempted to take Boogie’s “5 Month” photos today (yes, a week late). Now, if I went back and counted, there’s a good chance that we have well over a million pictures of Boogie. Yea, I’m a first time mom… and I’m OK with that. My Boogie makes the BEST faces, every snapshot she has a new face… not anymore! I pull out the camera and she gives me the “camera glare”, at least that is what I’ve dubbed it. Yea… my girl of course brought out the gummy smiles AFTER I put the camera way! Little Booger! We also tried avocado today! I stuck her in the high…

Ay Yi Yi!
It’s been a LONG day. Nothing different from any other day really, but I think Boogie and I both got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning 🙁 I was grouchy, she was grouchy, and both of us were short on patience… and daddy paid for it LOL! Oh well, we got through it! In other news… we are letting Boogie try new foods every now and then until we start really trying to get her to eat in a couple of weeks. Today was green beans. Yea… she wasn’t a fan. I didn’t even have to put it IN her mouth for her to make this…

Changes are Coming!
Boogie will be 5 months old next week…. what the heck?!?!? I can’t believe it! That means in just about a month we’ll be starting foooooood! We’ve decided to go with BLW: Baby Led Weaning. Baby Led Weaning is essentially skipping pureed foods and starting your little one on finger foods… It is called BLW because as soon as a baby starts solid foods, they begin the process of weaning from breast milk or formula. This is typically a long and slow process, but it allows your child to choose what they would like to eat, feed themselves, and beginners learn to chew before they learn to swallow. It’s about learning…
