Jude’s Four Months Old!

January 13, 2014 by Aliesha

Another month has zipped by and now Jude is four months old!

Here are some milestones:
-giggles and laughs when interacted with
-smiles when he sees any of his family members
-makes lots of little noises
-has the bluest blue eyes
-sucks on his fists and fingers
-reaches for things and tries to grab them
-wears cloth diapers most of the time, but size 3s when not in cloth
-wears mostly 6-9 month clothing
-sometimes pushes me away to indicate he’s finished nursing
-nurses 8-9 times a day
-sleeps 10 hours a night usually
-is very happy almost all the time (between evening nap and bedtime is his fussy time)
-likes being worn in a ring sling

Thankful to be so blessed!

My Favorite Baby Carrier

July 18, 2012 by Aliesha

I had a friend ask me several months ago what my favorite, go-to baby carrier was, and I had to tell her that I didn’t know!  BUT, that was before I met the Boba Carrier.  🙂

The Boba Carrier is my absolute favorite baby carrier, and if you would like to babywear your newborn, baby, or toddler, it is the carrier I would recommend if you can only buy one!

Read why I love the Boba Carrier over on She {hearts} It today!  (I’m also giving one away!!)
