Update on Baby Lei, 7 months old

she's becoming such a big girl, its bittersweet. she can sit up now & she is eating solid foods. she still can't crawl though, we're working on it. she's the loudest baby ever, or I think she is. she screams so much, and loves attention. 

 

she LOVES the water, and LOVES swimming. I'm so glad we chose to get a pool this summer. it calms her down so much, and we have these two giant palm trees that she just LOVES to stare at while she swims.

& this is her best friend/cousin, he was born two days after her & was a serious miracle baby. we try to get them together at least once a week, they really don't know whats going on yet.. but I love having them together. It's so much fun. They may not look like cousins, but they really are. If you look closely they have the exact same clef chin!

list of baby items i LOVE that i didn't think i would ever need.

so first things first, Pacifier Wipes! they are a lifesaver, for bottles, spoons, & duh pacifiers!

these little trash bags! no need to carry plastic bags, & they smell like baby powder. I've had to use these things countless times! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pacifier clips/holders, seriously. I can't even tell you how many pacifiers we lost until we bought one of these. it took me forever to find the right one though. our pacifier of choice did not exactly have a giant handle on them.. so we had to find the right clip. this one is from www.coolpacifiers.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little Noses stuffy nose kit! its good for newborns and older. this was a LIFE saver when my baby was first born, she was very congested so the saline helped & i LOVED the aspirator that came with it since the part that goes in the nose was tiny enough to fit in a newborns! the ones I got from the hospital or in my first aid kits barely got anything out.

 

summer infant swaddleme baby swaddler, i seriously thought i could survive with just swaddle blankets or nursing blankets, but my daughter got out of the so easily! we got one of these from the baby shower from her God Father and his gf, and we loved it! especially when she began to roll over onto her tummy when she slept! it kept her from rolling over, but until now she loves sleeping on her tummy. it's a little less scarier now since the doctor said her neck and head control was really good.
