The Baby  Uses  More  Dishes  Than  We  Do!

Each time I wash the baby's bottles (about twice per day), sippy cups, spoons, and soon, it's a huge ordeal. Why? She uses more dishes than all of us put together!

Have you ever counted all of the tiny pieces that make up each bottle, sippy cup, formula dispenser, and more?

Please, don't. You'll never want to wash them again. Just kidding.

I actually enjoy washing all of her stuff and getting it prepared. But boy, is it a lot of stuff.

Each sippy cup has 6 pieces and she has several of those.
Each bottle has 5 pieces, not counting the other 3 pieces for each formula dispenser insert. She has 15 bottles.

Then, there are spoons, bowls, lids, teethers, and more!

There used to be lots of pacifiers too, but thankfully, she kicked that habit a bit ago.

Anyhow, whenever I hear people talking about prepping dishes to go in a dishwasher, I'm thinking to myself, wanna trade?

Each of the pieces to each of the baby's "dishes" needs to be hand washed and hand rinsed one at a time and many of them are tiny and have tools to reach specific nooks and crannies.

Is this a complaint? Heck no. Like I said, I enjoy getting her stuff ready for her. But it sure is a funny observation. Those extra pieces are actually necessary in order to make feeding time run smoothly. Tommee Tippee is one of my favorite brands to use because the bottles and sippee cups have interchangeable parts, such as the handles and covers. Also, the formula dispensers fit so snugly inside them for super quick prep when Nova gets hungry. 

Babies sure use a TON of dishes. But it's well worth the sacrifice to have a happy, satisfied, and healthy baby.

Oh and a big shoutout to Munchkin for the awesome Munchkin bottle and nipple brushes, plus the High Capacity Drying Rack. There's no way I could properly wash and dry all of these pieces without them.

Nova's getting so big! She got to play with her Nuby stacking cups today and she absolutely loves them! She played with them in her Graco SimpleSwitch Convertible High Chair.  The high chair is so comfy and the cups were so fun that she enjoyed them for quite a bit. The two videos below, as well as the pictures above depict how delighted and interested she was.

Nova's Loving This  Handmade Crocheted Dress

10/15/2016

 
by Lyn Lomasi, Write W.A.V.E. Media Staff

Our super close (yet so far away) friend Sandra Lynn loves crocheting and has made Nova some awesome stuff. This handmade crocheted dress is the latest of Nova's favorite items made by San.  She looks super cute in it and it's very comfy, by her reaction. It's also extra special because we actually got to pick it up in person on one of our BroncoBago adventures.

We put it on her and she got super happy and playful. We think it's partially due to the soft yarn, but also because she can probably feel the love in this quality handmade item.

You seriously should check out all of San's crocheted items. They aren't all for babies, by the way. But of course, Nova is partial to the baby stuff.

Nova Loves  Her Boppy Nursing Pillow

10/6/2016

 
by Lyn Lomasi, Write W.A.V.E. Media Staff
Nova really loves being in her Boppy Nursing Pillow. As pictured, it has a pink bird slipcover on it. Ever since we brought her home from the hospital, she has enjoyed sleeping, feeding, and lounging in it. I highly recommend it to anyone with a baby, as it's multi-functional, portable, and cozy. Enjoy these pictures of Nova enjoying her Boppy from newborn up to 4 months (her current age).

First Drawing by 4  Month Old Nova Skye  (VIDEO & PICTURES)

Nova's First Drawing - Image © Lyn Lomasi; All Rights Reserved
Nova made her first drawing today, at just 4 months old! Her big sister Aja was using the pencil and she grabbed it from her. So, Aja gave Nova a piece of paper and she went to town. We got part of it on video.  (VIDEO BELOW)

Normally, a pencil is not ideal for a baby, but it was a spur of the moment thing (educational moments should be seized, not taken away) and she was being watched very closely by several of us. When she gets a drawing utensil on purpose, it will be a crayon.
