Cutting teeth is so much fun!

My poor baby finally has some teeth poking through! All his hard work has finally paid off. For months he's been teething, drooling, chewing, drooling, off and on cranky butt and drooling. Can't help but feel awful for the poor little guy but he's attacking it like a champ! 

Yesterday I used a frozen banana in a mesh teething feeder and he went crazy for it! Really loving the cold sensation on his gums. Later on it was ice cubes, cold wash cloths, my finger, and teething tablets that got us through the day. I'm not a huge fan of using Tylenol unless he has a fever/ cold symptoms or is a inconsolable hot mess. 

Loving these products!

This momma's medicine came in the form of a date night with the hubster and a stiff drink ;) Much needed we hardly ever get out, just the two of us. we went to Amore Victoria in uptown hit up happy hour and then ate some pizza for dinner. We really wanted to go paddle boarding but it was kind of windy so we opted out. Boom there you have it!

On a completely random note I am obsessed with chalk boards lately. It's such a fun way to change up quotes or cute little sayings. This is my current quote I wrote up and put in my kitchen

Early bird...gets the worm

Mr. Noah gets up for a bottle at 5:37 a.m. on a Sunday and goes back to bed. This would be my one and only day to sleep in this week but of course my body wont let me. I Watch the minutes tick by on the clock as I lay in bed thinking about kitchen paint colors and baby arts and crafts. Then the gears switch to what I really need to clean and organize and man its going to be hot today! Maybe we should go to the beach. Oh but I have so much laundry to do, laundry.... do I have any detergent left? I should make a target run. No I should not make a target run. State fair! Maybe we should go this year. Naaah went last year. Forget it, I'm never going back to sleep. I want coffee. Oh ya Coffee sounds magical, yep i should definitely get up and make coffee.........

Boom! 6:23 and I'm as productive as can be! Consuming coffee. Painted toe nails. Made a sensory toy for the small human and I'm currently updating his milestone calendar. (I'm sensing a crash about mid morning) Gotta love a little alone time while the hubster and baby pirate snooze away.

 Its impossible to appreciate the value of time until you have a small human. SERIOUSLY. And my small human is fantastic! Good sleeper/eater. He isn't fussy or clingy. He can entertain himself for a little while at a time. But how is it that no matter what, you just cant seem to get anything done when they are awake!? I'm convinced its the cuteness conspiracy. They lure you in with that toothless grin and adorable baby babble. Its disgustingly addictive.

Any who these are my sensory bottles!

-clean empty water bottle 

-water

-food coloring

-baby oil (for lava lamp effect) 

-whatever you want inside! (glitter, beads, bouncy balls, confetti etc.)

-gorilla glue for glueing the tops on
 

 

We would make these when I worked in daycare centers! Great for toddlers too, they really liked the themed bottles!

Have a lovely day people! - E
