Babycakes

She's doing alot of old man faces these days...


And also face touching, especially as she's falling asleep. No of course she doesn't have a crib!


Watch out everyone, here comes Eva


Her new favorite activity is playing the role of mail sorter






We love being out on our back deck!


She loves trying to reach into this extra large gap and try to pull dead pine needles out to eat


Star of the show


I loooooove this picture with my whole heart


and in case you needed to see her toes.

Easter

After a wonderful day at church, We all came home and Eva had a teeny tiny egg hunt. It consisted of me putting 3 eggs on the ground for her to "find." She had a reeeally hard time grabbing them because they were so stinking slippery!






Then Eva moved on to the plastic they came in, which entertained her much longer. And finally she found her metal basket. Oh how she loves metal.








I'd also like to give a shout out to my tulips, which weren't around for Easter, but in my mind they are synonymous with the holy day.



Happy Easter!

Puj Hug!

I was lucky enough to be selected to be a product tester for the revolutionary new baby bath towel 
from Puj, called the Puj Hug. If you've never heard of Puj, it is a fantastic company started by a mom who comes up with her own solutions/designs for baby products to simplify parenthood. 

Here is the website if you wanna check it out.


Like I said, I got their new infant towel to try out and review. The towel is awesome in that it has 2 interlocking tabs that are super-duper easy to hook around your neck.




These tabs make it easy to have the towel around your neck 
before even starting bath time (if desired), but most importantly 
they simplify the whole getting-the-slippery-baby-safely-
out-of-the-tub-while-staying-dry process. 






















            With the towel hooked around your neck, you just pick baby up
and hold her to your left shoulder. You then unhook the tabs 
with your right hand and bring the tabbed hood over baby's head. 
And then you get to snuggle!







Obviously the idea is genius. But also the quality of the towel is great; it is quite nice and plush. I will say I wish it were slightly bigger. With Eva being pleasantly plump (22ish lbs and 28ish inches), it doesn't quite wrap around her as much as I would like. That being said, it's still big enough to do its job, its functionality trumps my other baby towels, and Eva Girl can't get enough of chewing on the silicone tabs. I really wish I had it right from when she was born!


As of now I have been using this towel for almost 2 weeks, and yesterday I had to give Eva an impromptu bath, for reasons too messy to share. I grabbed a regular old towel because it was closest thing to me, and I almost didn't know what to do with it. How do I wrap my baby up in this old thing?? Okay it wasn't that bad, but I sure was missing my Puj Hug!


Puj also makes the Puj Big Hug towel for older children (ages 2 - 8)
which has hand/wing pockets. Need I say more?
