June Favorites

Hey mamas!

I wanted to talk about some favorites our house is currently obsessing over! Henry is 9 months old and has really been taking a love to all things yummy snacks. Also with summer upon us, we have been slowly venturing out more and more. We have done 1 splash pad (HOLY FIRST TIME MOM ANXIETY) and lots of pool swimmin' at Nana's!

Neat Cheeks
I plan on doing a separate review on this a little later because it totally deserves it! I don't know about you, but trying to wipe Henrys face after any meal is always a battle. There is SO. MUCH. DRAMA! (*ahem, I wonder where he got that from? #getitfromyourmama). I came across Neat Cheeks when watching Shark Tank and fell in love with the concept! These face wipes are naturally sweetened with Stevia extract and made to taste delicious! Usually during meal clean up, Henry starts crying and screaming with his arms waving like a crazy person. But the first try and he was silent! SILENT PEOPLE!! *insert all the amen emojis* Not only was he silent but he was SMILING!  Safe to say, we are believers forever! #sold #takeallmymoney

SwimZip
We are absolutely LOVING this! I originally bought this because the fact that it gives Henry full UV 50+ protection makes this "does he have enough sun screen on?" mamas heart REAL happy! The second was how insanely easy it is to take on and off. None of those stupid pregnancy books prepared me for how mad little ones get trying to pull a wet bathing suit/rash guard off! #neveragain

Happy Baby Oatmeal Cereal & Puffs
At this very moment, I have a baby boy sound asleep and will continue to do so for the rest of the night. How you ask? THIS MAGIC OATMEAL CEREAL!! Now, I am not going to sit here and say that your child will sleep 100% through the night only because of this. We sleep trained Henry about 3 months ago and that had a huge impact. BUT! With that being said, after sleep training he was still waking 2-3 times in a 12 hour period. At the time it didn't bother us because it was a huge improvement from him waking ever 1-2 hours. Until we were casually talking about with our pediatrician in passing she then recommended adding this to our dinner menu. Well.... I. COULD. KISS. THE FREAKING WOMAN!! Literally the first night, he slept 9 hours straight! And has slept through the night ever since. There are a lot of oatmeal cereals on the shelf but i really love that this has probiotics to support his digestive health, is fortified with Iron & has Choline to aid his development. #winwin

Nosh Teething Wafers
My little secret weapon! If you open my diaper bag you will find about 539 of these. The reason being that this will occupy little dude at a resturant long enough for me to actually shovel some food in my mouth while it's the temperature it's intended.  Because they are rice wafers, they are really dissolvable and easy for him to handle.  I like these compared to other wafers we have tried because they don't leave that weird and sticky mess that others left behind. Like i need another mess to clean up? #nothankyou

Ella's Kitchen
If i am being real honest, what first got my attention to these pouches were how cute they were (#waytogomarketingdept)! Anyone who really knows me, it should come to no surprise that when i started introducing Henry to pouches, i bought every brand on the market because i am the most indecisive person on the planet. It's a super annoying quality i have. After the tiny human tried about 4 or 5 different brands, this was the only one he physically grabbed out of my hand and started to suck down all by himself, like he was a big kid or something. It also helped that all the ingredients are 100% organic and there is nothing extra added #mamaloves. So with that, Ella's Kitchen made it's way into "Henry's Kitchen" (see what i did there? lol)

In the next coming weeks, i will be sharing more of my current favorites. During those early months with a newborn, i was constantly searching blogs and forums for info on certain topics that applied to us in that moment. I truly believe that when they say "It takes a village to raise a child" that includes moms across the google and internets sharing all the knowledge they can to help a mama out!
