Three months! Where did the time go?


Wow! It has been three months with Braelynn now. How amazing it is to have such a wonderful little happy baby. She almost always has a smile except when she is crying of hunger or has a messy diaper. She is doing well at daycare and everyone loves her. She has been trying to sit up on her own already and loves to grab our fingers to pull herself up. She is also starting to laugh and figure out putting things in her mouth. We are getting ready to try moving her from a bassinet next to our bed to her crib in the next room. She is starting to outgrow almost everything.

Some notes on things that work and don't work for us:
Cheap diapers DON'T WORK! We have tried almost every off brand out and none of them absorb better than Pampers Swaddlers.
Same thing with wipes. Most of the cheap brands are too wet, rough, won't come out of the package, or leave little scraps. Pampers Sensitive have been the best.
Can't find a better stain remover than Shout. It has gotten the worst poop stains out of everything. Even jeans after sitting for two days without spraying them.
One last thing. If you aren't picky about what your baby wears, Once Upon A Child is great for getting clothes that baby will grow out of quickly. From holiday outfits that only get worn once or twice to sleepers that get spat up on all the time. Sometimes you can even find brand new stuff with the tag on it still at about half the price.

That's about all for now. Hope everyone has a great holiday and New Year.
