I decided to participate in MommyFest! It’s a blog party with plenty of information, linky love and some contests as well. Join the Party!
I just found out the name change of Sk*rt to kirsty. Well, I think it’s cute! Go visit them for some great links! =)
Elle is such a precious baby.
She has been trying to keep her head up every time you pick her up. She also likes to stiffen her leg trying to stand up if you’re trying to make her sit. When you put her on her belly, she would lift her head and keep kicking as if she wants to crawl already. She’s also getting better in staying in her co-sleeping when she’s awake, finally enjoying her mobile. She’s been cooing at barely seven weeks. I can just imagine her being as talkative if not more than her older brother.
She just had 3 shots and an oral vaccine today. She didn’t like the oral vaccine as much and cried throughout her shots. My poor baby stopped crying and fell asleep as soon as I placed her in her carrier. She stayed asleep for 2 hours, she’s such a good baby!
I found some cute socks that looked like shoes at a small store my in laws.
I decided to take a few home =)
So, as I was surfing around the blogging world yesterday, I came upon a daddy page that caught my attention. It was called Dadcando.com. It was very interesting. It has easy recipes, craft projects, and ideas for dads to use with their kids. I thought to myself, “How cool is that!” Fathers who are involved in parenting and do whatever they can to make fatherhood fun are so admirable.
There was another time that I stumbled a blog of a pastor who was also a dad. He posted a picture of the breakfast he made for his family and it was genius. He made Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast covered in Fruity Pebbles. If you’re wondering what that can be, it’s exactly what the title says. He made a PB and J sandwich, soaked it in egg batter, dipped it in fruity pebbles and fried it. Yup! Something only a dad can put together. It made me smile!
I’ve been encouraging my DH to start a blog, but I’m not sure how he’ll go about it. Maybe he’ll join me in the blogging world sometime soon.
I didn’t have the opportunity to breastfeed my firstborn as much as I wanted to. I’m doing a lot better with our second child.
Breastfeeding is such a lifesaver when it comes to energy, effort and money! Our little girl actually sleeps pretty good throughout the night, about 4-6 hours. And if she does wake up in between, instead of waking up to get her a bottle, I just have to give her a boob. I don’t even have to get out of bed. Not having to buy formula is another plus, considering how expensive everything costs nowadays. I also love that fact that I don’t have to wash as many bottles as often. I only have to wash bottles that we use whenever we’re out of the house.
Breastmilk Storage Facts
1.Did you know that breastmilk can be stored at the back of the freezer for up to 3 months? I use disposable 5 oz storage bags made by Medela and they fit just right in the freezer. They seem a little pricey, compared to the reusable ones made by Avent or others, but they hold more milk and they’re less bulky than the other containers.
2. Never microwave your breast milk. You can thaw them by leaving them out in the refrigerator. You can also by running the sealed container in hot water.
3. After you thaw frozen breastmilk, it needs to be used within 24 hours and do not refreeze.
4. Freshly pumped breastmilk can be stored up to 8 days at the back of the the refrigerator.
5. Discard refrigerated breastmilk if you have leftovers after a feeding if not consumed in 2 hours.
