Life savers for mommies

I'm a first time mommy to a little boy, and I'm learning as I go what is good to have on hand which are known as mommies life savers that will save us from anything and everything....Pretty much be prepare! But what I like the most are my friends/family friends who talk to me about the life savers I must have on hand, and what I can get or need in the near future. You know if wasn't for them I would have still been lost or just turn to the internet, if not call my son's doctor for the smallest things to the big things of course.

4 months into my husband and I being parents and we love it, but of course we are getting the hang of it each passing day! 4 months and the life savers that we have and had saved us so far are:

Infant tylenol after two set of shots, doctor told us when he was 2 months old we could give this to him after his shots. But our family friends have told us to give him this before he gets his shots, or right away instead of waiting.

Always make sure the diaper bag is full of extra clothes, diapers and wipes of course, bib, socks, as well as a traveling formula can which we have a smaller one if we are out all day, than the formula container if we are not going to be gone all day long.

These are my two lifesavers right now beside the wedge we have in the crib which now he sleeps great in his crib, from his sleeper. The boppy pillow and of course the swing.

What were/are your life savers you couldn't live without or your child couldn't live without?

Please add on to my list for the near future? I'm still learning, and would love to know more about the life savers that saved you from going crazy or rescue you.

Happy 4 months old son

4 months ago this little guy came into the world and change our lives forever. The moment we found out we were going to be parents, we were beyond excited and couldn't wait to start this new chapter. Now four months ago today we are still excited and will always be excited that we are parents to this handsome little guy we call our son. Each passing day we are learning as we go, and becoming the best parents that we can be to you!! We love you so much our handsome and always will!!

At 4 months old you are grabbing your legs, love to sit in your big boy chair(highchair), love fireball by pitbull, sleeping in your crib but in the mornings love to be in mommy and daddy's bed! Friday we will know how much you weight and your height after your shots :(!!

Happy four months our handsome!

Goodbye 2014, hello 2015

We started 2014 finding out we were expecting our first child, than we found out it was a boy as we waited for him to come we prepared and got things ready for him. Than the time came we became first time parent to a handsome little boy, and started making memories with him and as a family!

We made memories from the time he was born, we celebrated first Halloween, first thanksgiving, first christmas, and now tonight we will celebrate first new year's with him being here with us, took first family pictures. As the year is coming to end, and the new year is beginning....I'm  looking forward to all the other first with our son, and making even more memories with him and as a family!

So now we say goodbye to 2014 and what a wonderful year it was as we became first time parents and welcome our first child/our son...now we will welcome 2015 as a family of three, and can't wait to see all the wonderful things in store for my family in 2015!

Happy 3 months baby boy

Happy 3 months old to our handsome little guy! You are truly a blessing and it has and is amazing just watching you grow. You love and know your daddy and mommy voice! You get scared when you hear your daddy sneeze, and of course you don't nap much during the day because you want to catch everything. You also smile a lot more, and make sounds when you get excited. Last of all, but not least you love your hands, and love watching Mickey Mouse!

As the day is coming to an end, my husband/daddy just came home from work and our son decided to roll over for the first time...what a blessing to mark two milestones in one day, proud parents we are! My husband said being at work since 5 this morning and working the weekend made this moment all worth it.

Late posted about Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving came and gone but would to share with you what my family and I did..here it goes

My husband and had a four day weekend, and of course my son and I loved having him home with us. 

Now since my husband and I started dating we always had thanksgiving lunch with my mom and dinner with my in laws, well this year we did the same along with our son who was celebrating his first thanksgiving as well. We started our day by taking my son pictures, than we went off to my mom's place for some good food, football, and sales ad to see what was on sale but didn't do shopping till Friday morning. After second started of our favorite team playing (dallas cowboys) which they lost we head out to my in laws for some more good food, dessert, and more football. Once we felt stuff at both places we came home, you know we usually go shopping but since we have a son now we called it a night and came on home to relaxed and get a goodnight sleep!

Thanksgiving came and gone memories were made, and it was extra special as it was my son first thanksgiving!

I just wanted to share that I'm always thankful each passing day I see and get, but this year is extra special and extra thankful as we are parents and my husband and I are now making memories with our son. Also and always thankful for my husband as well, and life because life is good!!

I'm not only thankful but I'm blessed as well!!

What did you do for thanksgiving? What are you thankful for?

Please Share!!
