Bye-bye Bottle Washing?

I absolutely hate washing bottles.  If I never wash another bottle again it will be too soon.  I'm ready, I mean, Jackson is ready for a change....

Introducing the sippy cup.  Jackson has started to use them.  Well kind of.  He has been chewing, sucking, and tossing sippy cups.  I guess you can call that "using" them.

I bought these Playtex ones at Target and they are ok.  I feel like he isn't sure how to get the water out, or maybe he doesn't really care about the water.  He is all about the soft chewy plastic.  He craves it. Oral fixation problem perhaps? 

Any advice out there on how to get my little guy to actually drink out the sippy cup? Dreams of not washing bottles are hopefully in my future.  Maybe I'll just have my husband wash them from now on and then it will be more like the near future.  I have to give him credit, he actually washes them a lot.  I'm a lucky gal.

Cheers.

Butt Cream on Baby's Face!

Not sure if any of you noticed in yesterday's post, but my little man's cheeks are SO very chapped this winter season.  It's about 7 degrees out in Kansas City these days, not to mention terribly snowy, and the dry air just hurts that sweet baby's skin oh so much.

What's a mama to do?

Well, I've tried all the recommendations...primarily baby lotion and Aquafor.  They simply don't work in the long run.  The thing that seems to work the best is A&D diaper cream.  Yes, I'm telling you to put butt cream on your baby's face.

Since the cream smells a bit and you definetly do not want your baby to consume it, I recommend putting it on his face right after he feels asleep. It works like a charm and in the morning their skin is oh so baby-soft once again.

Unfortunately I don't think this chilly winter weather is going away anytime soon so my kid-o is going to get some butt cream on his face every night for a while!

Happy Friday and happy weekend!
