Preview Of Upcoming Reviews

Jaxon just got his walker today, and he's just such a cutie I had to take pictures and share with all my readers!

He looks like we're going to be in trouble once his feet can touch the ground!!! He's in a Kolcraft walker (for Monkey Mayhem's 2009 Holiday Gift Guide!), and the green pillow thing is a Hugga-Bebe which I'll be writing the review for in a few mintues!

Isn't that smile just evil looking?? Evil...but precious!

Here is big brother Jeffery with Jaxon...I never realized how much they do actually look alike! I think the ears have it!

Some of My Kids

Before I give you an eyefull of my kids, here is what I found in our backyard the other morning after putting the kids on the bus!

Yes, 3 white tail deer.

My beautiful princess, this is an awesome picture I took of her before school one day.

Ok, face it, he can't be smiling all the time right?

Yes, he does sleep...sometimes.

I don't post many pics of Jeff...mostly because he don't like his picture taken...shhhh don't tell him I posted this picture!

Some playground pictures.

Behind Jeffery is the river bridge that goes over the Shenandoah River and the Dam.

I just like this picture of Jaylin, she's just a doll.

This is Jaylin last night after her bath, she said she was cold and went to get her blanket then did this all by herself.

Look at those big eyes!

He's precious!

He's such a strong little boy holding himself up.

I had more to post, but I think this has gotten long enough.

Fisher Price Happy Days & Nights Diapers (review)

Yes, you read that right...Fisher Price, the makers of some wonderful toys and baby products, now makes diapers! I didn't know what to think of a toy company making diapers...but after trying them out for a week I must say...I'm IMPRESSED!

When I first got Happy Days & Nights™ Diapers to review, I immediatley opened the package to check them out, I didn't see any cartoon characters or disney characters on them, I saw Fisher-Price® Precious Planet characters...which I immediatley recognized since they have a monkey in them and we have a few products for Jaxon in that theme. The other thing I noticed and liked, was the design wasn't where the tabs attach, they were underneath and on the back where the butt is! There are 2 different designs, one for the forest animals, and one for the marine animals. Of course the forest animals are my favorite, because on the back is the monkey! Where most diapers have the cute little design of the copyrighted cartoon characters that probably makes the price of the diaper go higher...Happy Days & Nights Diapers have Size Right! Size Right helps you see if the size diaper fits your baby right, there is a little red section on each side, then green, then yellow in the middle. If the tab of the diaper is in the red area, that means the diaper is too small for your baby, if it's in the yellow area, the diaper is too big and then of course if it's in the green area that means the diaper fits JUST RIGHT! Awesome, right?

Ok, I've talked about the looks of Happy Days & Nights Diapers enough, time to talk absorbency and fit...since after all that's the most important right? At first it seemed the Happy Days & Nights Diapers were stiff to put on, but Jaxon seemed comfortable in them. The tabs were super stretchy and size 2 goes slightly into the yellow, which means they are a little big, but it looked fine on him. I have to tell you this story, when we went to the Dr with Jaxon the other day, it was a hour trip over, and couple hours there, and another hour drive home, with all the hecticness (is that a word?) I didn't change Jaxon's diaper, when I did think about changing him he was fast asleep and I hated to wake him since he hates to be in the carseat, so from 8am til 4pm he was in the same diaper, NO LEAKS!!! When I changed him as soon as we got home, it looked as if the diaper could hold some more if I had left it on! He sleeps all night and NO LEAKS!!!

You are probably thinking "it's Fisher Price, they have to be expensive", the answer is NO! I actually researched it and compared to the diapers we usually use for Jaxon (Pampers), and in both of the Jumbo packs, of size 2 there are 42 diapers, they are both only $9.99!!!

My only problem with Happy Days & Nights Diapers is that the only place to buy them is at a Babies R Us store or Toys R Us online, and unfortunatley there isn't a Babies R Us around here, the closest one is an hour away. Now, if they were sold in Walmart or someplace close to me, I'd buy them allllll the time!

I didn't get to try the night time diapers, since they start at size 3. But they are supose to be more absorbant for those long nights. Happy Days & Nights Diapers come in packs with just the days, just the nights, or you can buy a big pack with both! I highly recomend these diapers now!

Jaxon's Appointment Today (heartbreaker)

I had to take Jaxon to the ENT today because he's been weezing and making a lot of noise while eating and after eating, his pediatrician wanted him seen. So once I put Jeffery and Jaylin on the bus, I made the birthday post for Jaylin, then went to pick up my friend Amy, and off to the big city we went (it's an hour drive)

So we get there, a tiny bit late because I had to fill up my tire since it's leaking air, and register, sat down in the waiting room and he was SUCH a happy baby, giggling and smiling at me and Amy! They called us back, they weighed him (he's 14lbs 8oz...but that's with all clothes on, a diaper, and shoes) we spoke with the nurse, then spoke with one of the doctor residents who checked Jaxon over....looked in his mouth, nose and ears (ENT...ear nose and throat lol) She then warned us that the main doctor might want to put a scope up his nose/down his throat! Seriously, me and Amy looked at eachother and we were about to run out that door! So we sat and waited for him to come in...sure enough he wanted to put the scope in my baby!!! He said it was no bigger than a piece of spagetti, so that made me feel a LITTLE better...not much though.

So we sat there waiting on them to get everything set up, Jaxon ended up fallin asleep on my lap while they were in and out of the room. Then the Dr come in and turned my chair around, then he sat down and faced me, put his legs on either side of my legs and we put Jaxon's head on his lap, and his feet on mine...you better belive that woke my baby up!!! Then he got the little scope (looked like a black peice of spagetti with a light at the end) and stuck it up one nostril...SCREAMS came from my itty bitty baby! The Dr was talking to his student and the nurse and the other Dr (BTW let me inform you, this didn't hurt him, it was just uncomfortable, they kept him awake so they could see the actual airflow and when sleeping, airflow is different) Then the 2nd nostril...I then heard the Dr say the scope barely fit through the nasal passage. He said a bunch of other big words I had no clue what he was talking about. Once he pulled that tube out of his nose and the nurse let got of Jaxon's head I scooped my baby up and cuddled him (blaming Daddy for it all...after all, if Daddy's genes were dominant he wouldn't have my itty bitty nose! Come on, laugh with me about it!)

Final diagnosis? SMALL NOSE! Seriously, all 3 of my kiddos have my nose, apparently Jaxon's is just a little bit smaller. He did say he has a flap of something over his voice box, and that can cause snoring, but nothing major. He also said there was something else (big words I dont remember) that won't be a problem til he's married and his wife makes him go back to the ENT about his SNORING!! The dr cracked me up!

So that's that, we go back in 6months (said he should outgrow it by then) and he's fine...nothing to worry about! :)

As Promised

Ok, I've had my tat for a week now...and it's past due that I post the video Amy took of me while it was getting done...seriously, you can see my face AS the first line is drawn! This is as close as you can get to being with me, without actually being with me in person...now I don't know if I used any foul language....so be prepared that I MIGHT have let a few words slip out...this wasn't exactly pain free lol. Enjoy watching my pain!!!
