First month favorites

1. Boppy Pillow- great way to nurse your baby. It was so easy to use and a great tool for 1st time mommies like myself, plus you can still use it as they get older for tummy time, sitting down and propping.

2. Bouncer- Lucas loves it because it makes him feel all bundled up plus & it soothes him.

3. Humidifier- my poor baby has had a congested nose so after speaking with the pediatrician she recommend for us to buy a humidifier  (we bought the frog one at Target, in my opinion it looks cuter, go here) and Little Remedies Nasal drops go here

4. Nosefrida- great tool to help baby breath when congested (I only found this item at Babies R'us)

5. Swaddles- these came in handy the first 2 weeks because Lucas loved to be all bundled up. Now he enjoys stretching as much as possible when he sleeps..he was a big baby and I'm sure having that extra space to stretch makes him very happy.

6. Mittens- Lucas tends to touch his face when I nurse him so it was very great to have mittens to avoid any scratches in his little face + they are great to keep their little hands warm and cozy.

7. Pacifier & clip- Lucas loves the pacifier after a meal. It soothes him and puts him to sleep fast. The clip comes in handy because the pacifier won't be all over the place. 

8. Baby Burt's/ Johnson & Johnson lotions & body wash- Lucas loves to take baths so these came in handy.

Another useful item has been the "Little Remedies Gripe Water" because at times he get colic's.  I have modified my diet (no dairy products--milk (now I drink coconut milk, this is a great brand So Coconut Milk), cheese, butter, no beans, broccoli, citrus fruits) but whenever I see him grunting I give him those and it helps him. Little Remedies For Tummies you can buy them at Target.

*All these items were bought either at Target or Babies R'us*

Happy One Month Baby

When you have a baby people usually tell you to cherish every minute because time flies...THEY WERE NOT KIDDING! My baby is a month old and I couldn't be happier to have him in my life.  Now I will like to take this time to write a little something to the boy who stole my heart:

Dear Lucas,

You have changed my life in the most magical way possible. Your dad and I are always saying how you have become the love of our lives. I want you to know that you can always count on your mama y papa no matter what. Please forgive me for any mistakes I make along the way but I can assure you that I will always do my best to make you a very happy baby and love you unconditionally.  Here are some facts about you:

• You love to eat & at this point in your life I can honestly say this is your favorite hobby ;)
• You were born with THE MOST AMAZING HAIR!
• You weigh 11 lbs
• Every time you fall asleep you make the cutest grumpy face 
• You love to see your surroundings & you are obssessed with fans and lights
• You are a very strong baby (when you were a week old you rolled all on your own, you push yourself up when we hold you and boy oh boy do you have a great set of lungs)
• You smile after every meal and that's how I know you have a 'happy tummy'
• When you eat you make the cutest noises and they always make us smile & laugh
• You like to sleep on your left side--that's how I slept most of my pregnancy so you got use to it

I love....

• how you snuggle in my chest. It honestly melts my heart!
• how you admire your dad when he talks to you
• singing to you even though I'm not the best at it but somehow it calms you down
