The big 2-8. I guess that means I am getting close to being old? i dunno. I don't feel old. I mean... I feel older than say - when I was 16... but otherwise life seems to slowly get a little better year after year... normal bumps in the road, but things seem to settle a bit... kids get a little older (though we keep starting that over, lol). Summers come and go - kids go back to school... life has a sense of calm in its chaos. I don't mind getting older. I feel like 47 is going to be my year... or maybe 77... I guess what I am trying to say is that instead of complaining that I am one year closer to 30 - I am going to be thankful that I have one more year under my belt... one more year to say I did it, my family is alive and thriving, business is good, marriage is solid... and here's to many many more. 

Nuby always comes out with such great products, and these bottles are no exception to that. First - the colors are a HUGE selling point for me. I get so bored of the baby pastel colors out there... or cheesy prints of animals, butterflies, etc.

I love that these are just simple and bright. Though, they offer a lot more than just a fashionable look! "These bottles are made from high grade poly propylene which means they are FREE from Bisphenol A. Our patented variable flow Non-Drip™ Nipple features anti-colic valves to reduce the risk of colic and teething nubs to massage baby’s gums." Best part? Check my little slideshow below - the actually DON'T DRIP! Awesome. Oh, and one more awesome perk is these bottles are interchangeable with a lot of their different lids to make them spouts, straws, etc. as baby grows. Genius? Genius. Now, my kids were SUPER picky bottle takers in the beginning since they were exclusively breastfed. So for me they work best around 6 months when they're a little more established nursers and don't get too confused. BUT that was just my personal experience. Either way I highly recommend them and hope you check them out!

Remember my post last month about all the must-have's for #4? We can scratch one item off the list!! I SUPER SUPER SUPER scored and found one of these pretty much new on craigslist for just $130. I am IN LOVE. As soon as I got it into the kitchen I was squealy with delight. I love it even more in real life... "With no pesky cracks or crevices, the sleek, smooth, 1-piece Boon Highchair is unbelievably easy to clean up and includes 2, dishwasher-safe tray covers that easily fit into most dishwashers. Sure to be the perfect height at any table, the pneumatic lift makes it easy to pick the exact height you need. The removable, waterproof pad has a built-in 5-point safety harness along with a safety post so you can rest assured you little one won't slide out. The 6 urethane casters and single-step braking system allow the chair to easily glide in all directions without harming your floor" (target.com) Im totally going to have to grab this extra liner and tray as a backup, also!  I can't wait until the kitchen is painted with the teal behind the chair... it will be SO. Awesome. Will definitely share when it's finished! Grab your own (newer version) at BuyBuy Baby, Babies R Us, or Target!

Last week we got to take pictures of my SIL and her boyfriend for a little maternity shoot. Im super happy with the results so I thought I would show them off! What do ya think? Baby #1 is on the way and will be here at the end of September. She will be name Hazel Rose. I can't wait as I get to photograph the birth as well!! How amazing. How exciting. Congrats Jake & Whitney!
