Baby Einstein Caterpillar's Day At The Park Review

This video is a review of Trey's new bouncer.  We got it for our baby shower.  We actually got two.  The first one was a Fisher Price product.  I used that one first because after examining them both the Fisher Price bouncer looked smaller.

Now that Trey is 2 months and getting bigger I decided it was time to bring it out and put it together. Assembly was very easy.  I actually handed the box and directions to my 13 year old son and 12 year old niece and they put it together in less than 30 minutes.

This video shows Trey's first time in the bouncer.  After recording he sat in it for about 30 minutes longer (typical infant timing) before wanting to get out.  I played around with a few of the features while filming.  He's too young for the toys at this time but I think he will like the pull down toys.  He already has a very powerful grip.  Pulling the toys down causes the rim to spin with toys inside and a loud noise that will keep his attention.

I love that the bouncer plays classical music such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Vivaldi.  Trey loves music and hopefully it will soothe him in the future when he's teething.  The bouncer has a stronger vibrator than the Fisher Price.  It's a little louder but not loud enough to be a nuisance.  Trey doesn't care for the vibrator.  The bouncer is easy to rock which is something he really enjoys.  One other feature I really like is that the bar that goes across the chair pulls up when I need to remove him or put him in it.

Huggies vs. Luvs

Huggies vs. Luvs

I've been meaning to do this video and this blog every since we switched from Huggies diapers to Luvs and talk about why we switched. I really feel that whenever someone mentions diapers or pampers you usually think of Huggies, but that doesn't make them a great diaper that makes them very successful with their advertisement.

Before I had my son Trey, I of course had a baby shower.  We were blessed with a lot of cool gifts and beautiful clothes, and most importantly diapers.  We received 3 packs of newborn diapers and two big boxes of size 1 diapers and yes you guessed it they were all Huggies.  

At different times we would notice that while Trey was wearing the Huggies he would have leaks on the side of his onesies.  We were like, "how does this keep happening?"  No matter how often we changed him there would still be leaks.  I felt like we also went through the diapers faster than we should have.    

Of course we were very grateful because diapers these days are very expensive.  We used up all of the diapers we received from the baby shower but had a conversation about changing brands.  I mentioned the issues I was having with my best friend and she suggested I try Luvs.  She said that she had always used them and they were great for her.  I trust her judgement so I bought a pack and fell in love.  We are officially Luvs users now.

The first thing I noticed about the Luvs diapers was the smell. I love their fresh scent.  Whenever I'm putting Trey on a fresh diaper I often put the diaper to my face and smell it.  I love it!  I also love the way the diaper fits on him.  It's snug but not too tight in the important places.  Another thing I love is the flaps on the side of the diaper.  First of all they're a different color so they're very noticeable and easy to pull out.  The part of the diaper that it is connected to is color coded so it's also easy to see where its to be placed.

If I hear of a better diaper that's cheaper I may give it a try but until then I will stick to Luvs for my baby Trey.

Mommy

Trey's First Shots (2 months)

He was all smiles while the cute doctor was in the room, but when she left he got a little cranky.  His father is a first time dad so I was really worried about how he would handle watching someone inflict pain on his son.  It's hard seeing that even if you know that pain is for the best.

For me it was what we expected.  He cried.  It was sad.  I stayed in the room after to breast feed until he was asleep and content. Before we left his father got information about the immunizations he received.  We discussed rather or not we wanted him to have any at all because this is very controversial.  In the end we decided it   was best to give him the immunizations.

When he did finally wake up he was feverish and cranky.  Later that day we gave him some infant pain reliever as directed by the doctor.  I only had to give it to him twice before he was back to his smiling and wonderful self.

Conversations With Trey

We are so excited that our two-month old Trey is in the cutest phase--he's cooing.  Every since he was born we've been talking, smiling, laughing with him with no response.  It is so wonderful to smile at him and to see him smile back.  And to also see him laughing and talking in response to our talking to him is a wonderful feeling.



We want to enjoy every moment of this and we are living in expectation of his first words.  I'm hoping for "Mommy" (of course) and Daddy's hoping for a Da-Da.  We will definitely keep you posted.
