Outside

Moey LOVES being outside. After Papa went to work we put a quilt in the grass and played for a while. Mo also really likes sitting up, grasping toys and putting things in her mouth! Its something new everyday!
 Using our muscles to try to sit up!
 Not so sure about the big pink ball!

 Studying contrast cards :)

Cuteness Overload

This weekend is Moey's first Fourth of July weekend. We kicked it off with a party for our friend's baby JJ. He was actually born two weeks after Moey. We also got to meet another one of our friend's twins, Jack and Averie! It was so much fun getting all of the babies together.

Molly all ready for the party:
And in true Moey form, about an hour later we sprung a leak and had to change. :)
Enjoy the cuteness....

Favorite Baby Stuff

Medela Pump In Style

This breast pump is the best one out there. It was super easy to use and made pumping super easy. Granted it costs an arm and a leg, but its so worth it.

Playtex "drop-ins" Bottle System
Moey enjoying her bottle! She is definitely a "bottle baby"!
We used some other bottles before we settled on these ones. Actually we were worried that Mo had reflux because of the way she was acting during a feeding on her old bottles. When we switched to the Playtex Nurser she was a whole new baby. I really like how you can squeeze out all the air before you feed. Also, on the go we only take one bottle with us; just extra liners and nipples. It saves a ton of room in the diaper bag!

Moby Wrap

This carrier is the best. It is 5 yards of magic! It is for babies that love to be held all the time, and also babies that are a fan of being swaddled. Moey is a big time cuddle baby. She loves to be held all the time. Instead of lugging around her annoying car seat into the store; I just wrap myself up with the Moby before we go to the store and put her in it while I go shopping. 

NUK Pacifiers
Our favorite - whale paci 

I was an anti paci, anti bottle momma at one point...and then Moey changed my plans! At around one month is when we started using a pacifier with Mo. She loves her paci. It helps her sleep at night especially, and whats even better is that she doesn't get mad when it pops out at night. Only once and a while will she whimper for it. We tried the Soothies, the Gumdrops, the Tommie Tippies and the Born Free brands, and the NUK's were Moey's favorite. 

Chicco Travel System

I absolutely love everything about this stroller and car seat set. The stroller may be bulky but its so easy to use with lots of great features; and I love how you can adjust the handle. My mom said: "you can tell a mom designed this stroller". The car seat has an excellent safety rating. As always with all infant car seat carriers; they are super heavy to lug around, so most of the time, I put Moey in her Moby or she is laying down in the stroller. 

Homedics Sound Machine

This little machine has been a godsend. It puts Moey to sleep every time. This is the top present I will be buying for new moms from now on. I'm telling you, this thing works!!!

Carters Clothing

Most of Moey's wardrobe is Carters clothing. I feel that their sizes are very true to age and fit babies very well. Some of our other favorites are: BabyGap, Janie and Jack and Gymboree.

Johnson & Johnson's
Head to Toe Wash and Bedtime Lotion

Mo loves to take a bath, and it has become an important part of our day. There is nothing better than an all in one wash! The bedtime lotion is perfect for her massage at night; she loves it!

gDiapers
This color is actually called "good golly molly". 
All of the diaper colors start with the letter g. 
Since I already did a long post about these, there isn't much more to say than we just love these diapers, absolutely love them. 

Bumbo Chair
 
Moey loves to sit up, so thank goodness for the Bumbo chair! What a wonderful invention. I cant wait for her to play more in this seat. For now, at three months, we kinda just lounge in it and dont last very long! I might use this seat for feedings too when she starts solids. 

Boppy
 Another "must have" of new moms. These are not just for breastfeeding moms, they work great for bottle feeding as well! When Moey was first born she would love to snuggle in her boppy with a blanket. We are using her boppy for her monthly pictures, I want to see the difference in her growth with it.

Fisherprice Luv U Zoo Collection
Tummy time with Gram on our play-mat!

We have the play-mat, swing and bouncy seat in this collection. I really like all of these big toys for Mo. She LOVES the swing. It not only goes backwards and forwards, but side to side as well. It has a mirror for her to look at which keeps her quite entertained! The play-mat has many toys that dangle and the top piece has lights and music. She absolutely loves that thing! I am planning on buying the jumper in this collection when she's bigger.

Recent Moey Adventures

Moey went to her first party on June 25th. Her friend Reagan turned three. This is what she did at the party...
This method of sleeping was dubbed the "sprawl" by Auntie Dana...here is another example of the sprawl on a recent trip to the doctors:

Gram came to visit this week. She had many adventures with Gram, just the two of them. Grocery shopping, going to the pool to sunbathe and swim, and a whole afternoon in Hudson with a trip to the cupcake store and a picnic on the green. 
Sleeping in the sunshine.

Wearing our new dress! 


Having lunch at rays.

All ready for the pool!
