Front Facing Car Seat

We went with the Evenflo Symphony 65 e3 All-In-One Convertible Car Seat (Hamilton) at $160 after coupons and ebates cashback from babies r us. 

Ebates is awesome by the way, I already have received $56 back for shopping online and refering a friend. all you need to do is sign up then when you want to shop online go to ebates first and search for the store you want to shop at. Click on the stores shop now button to go to their site and make a purchase. Ebates tracks that you got to lets say gap from clicking on the link from ebates and will reward you if you make a purchase. I like to see who is paying out the most and buy what I need from them. 

So $160 is still a lot of money but I figured I buy most of his clothes cheap at target so I can spend a little more on my big purchases.

It is extremely safe and easy to use. The seat reclines into 3 positions, has the sureLATCH system and easy adjust for height with the slide harness (my favorite part). No more fighting to get the shoulder straps through the seat base.

New Hair for Baby and Me

C's hair was getting a bit long and started to naturally form into a Mohawk. I love it but it was time to have his first hair cut! He looks like such a big boy now with his hair cut and all his newborn strawberry blonde is gone and its straight platinum blonde left.

As for me, I decided it was time to give doing my own hair a try. I used Revlon frost and glow and it turned out so AMAZING! I am just itching to do it again. The worst part was doing the back of the head and would suggest asking someone to help out. I decided to do this while my hubby was gone and had no help and it still turned out awesome. At the $10-$15 price tag it far exceeded my expectations.

Tunnel Time

My growing boy is all about getting into things. I wanted to try and find a new outlet for him instead of climbing in our shelves. (Which he still loves to do still) For the $15 price tag this tunnel was a great find. My little man wasn't afraid to go through it when we got it open and figured out how to do it on his own in minutes. Now after having it for a few weeks he loves to just go through it on his own or play peek a boo with us.

Positives:

It closes up and opens easy

Small and easy to store once closed

Soft with no sharp edges or hard spots

Negatives:

Makes my house seem messy..er when it is out

You looking at me mom?

Sili Squeeze review

I normally don't normally buy products and end up hating them... but this is one of them. As it is a newer product (I think) and there were not many product reviews out there for me to read I decided to take a chance on it. I thought "Oh yes this will be much better than the Little green bag I want to get" ... Boy was I wrong.

The spill proof nipple is way to hard for my 7 and a half month old to get anything out of. Then when I tried it it was way to hard for even me to get anything out. The company says that it is harder for me to do as it is designed for little mouths and that little C just needed to learn how to use it. After using the squeeze with ease nipple I still have complaints. Yes Little C likes it for the first few bites but then after the silicone bag is no longer full he cannot get anything else out. It was too hard for him to suck the bottom portion out for the container because of the shape.

He has used the regular store bought pouches that come with food in them and has had no problem getting the entire portion out of the bag. Yes the Sili Squeeze may be better for an older child but at that point a child can have slices of apples and not need apple sauce.

I would say this product was a major let down for me and not worth the money at all. I wish I had more pictures of the extremely fussy baby with this product but as I said he was EXTREMELY FUSSY!! I would be too if I was hungry and the food would just not get in my tummy. :)
