chewbeads

i know i posted awhile back about chewbeads and not wanting to spend the money... well i ordered a wrap from sweet bottoms baby boutique this week and you got a free teether or piece of jewelry for free and i got turquoise chewbeads!!! i will say i think they are worth the money (even though mine were free). very cute and very chewy :) plus i'm selling this wrap so it was really a freebie!

i'm a wrap star

sleepy wrap in orange-my first newborn stretchy wrap. dont mind me looking like death-i was sleep deprived and hormonal... oh wait i'm still those things :)

natibaby amazonia-my first woven wrap! i actually just sold this today :( i'll miss you!

didymos waves allegro-a great summer shorty! thank you, Brayden for being my model. real men can rock purple :)

ellevill zara sun-probably our favorite color for the summer (at least for now)

stash shot all together.. such a pretty rainbow of colors!

i have 3 new ones on the way!!! yes i definitely need an intervention. but i believe i'm already selling one. and another one i'm chopping and selling part as a ring sling. i will post daddy's baby carrier maybe after our vacation and trip to meet mr. robby.

hazel lately

where to start?? i have lots of updates but probably will forget about half.

little lady is rolling both ways and sitting up better and better while reaching and playing. her pt seemed pleased with her progress but her right shoulder has moved up higher than her left. so we are working on different exercises to strengthen her core so she isnt doing this compensation. but now we only go see her once a month which is nice! just work on things at home everyday.

we saw her gi specialist again recently and we discussed slowly decreasing her meds. we have started and although she is spitting up a bit more, she doesnt seem like it is bothering her much. she still is very sensitive to dairy and soy so i still have all the restrictions... boo. her eczema is constantly broke out so ive been wondering if shes allergic to more (eggs, nuts, wheat) but im kinda ignoring it for a bit longer b/c i already feel like im starving to death. she said around 11 months i can trial more dairy and soy and see if she has grown out of the intolerance and if not we could do a special formula if i was going to stop breastfeeding. i may continue for a bit longer if thats the case and just add in hemp milk and other fatty and calcium rich foods into her diet.

speaking of foods... haze is loving experimenting with new foods. we do baby led weaning/solids. you skip purees and let baby feed herself with soft food. she does really great with it! and she already does awesome with a straw sippy cup and a preloaded spoon. (ill have to add pics when i get them uploaded.)

last week haze broke out in hives pretty bad. we still couldnt pin point the cause. but it seems like the cause could have been a different colored paint used on her feet for an art project. who knows though. the dr said if it didnt go away in a week we would need to see an allergist. it went away after a few doses of benedryl. i feel like we might be headed down the allergist road anyways though with all the other sensitivities to things.

since school has been out, hazel has been wanting to stay up and party all night long. i feel like i might lose my cool when im home alone with an awake baby from 1-4 am. at least i dont have to work the next day. we just sit and cry together. im hoping this is just a couple month phase and things go back to happy sleeping patterns soon :)

i guess thats about it for now. i better get to bed in case we have another late party night. and a full day ahead tomorrow-change dipe, eat, eat solids, read, early nap, change dipe and clothes, eat, walk, play, read, nap, change dipe, eat, play, water plants, read, nap, change dipe, eat, eat solids, bath, play, read, night time sleep. my life is pretty repetitive and i love it :)
