Mobile blogging app??

Yes PLEASE! Mommy's new job is now full time, so she was happy to figure out how to blog on the go. Trying to juggle everything has been tough, but luckily we are getting there.  At one point this month, all of us were sick and my grandma came up to the rescue. Luckily sissy was at her daddys house so she was spared.. well until the next weekend when she caught it at school anyway. 

So mommy is gonna try to catch up on her reviews now.

**Product Review* Nuby Teething Blanket

My friends at Nuby sent me this to try out. It is so much fun to chew on. I have 4 teeth now, 2 on the top and two on the bottom. Those top ones really bother me, and I loved to chew on this when those pesky top ones were cutting through to help things along.   There are teething things on each corner for me to chew on, and the blanket crinkles and squeaks while I play with it. I really like the Lion on the front too.


**Mommy says** The Nuby teething blanket is great. Keigan really enjoys chewing on the corners and is fascinated by the crinkle sound that it makes.  We are so happy with this!

Nuby teething blanket's are available in several different characters and are available at BuyBabyDirect.com for $6.99 plus shipping. Keigan loves it!

New Job-

Sorry for the delay everyone.  Mommy got a new job! So we are just trying to get on a schedule around here that allows time for blogging. (Right now we'd rather snuggle since we are not together every day.)  And today I am starting to wade through my pile of pouches and notes on babyfood. :)

New Recipe-- Keigans Oatmeal

Since I love yogurt, mommy made me something new for breakfast.  A fruit and veggie blend baby food, mixed with equal parts of plain yogurt and two or three scoops of grain.  Stir- mixture should be the consistency of regular oatmeal and it is DELICIOUS!  I have had this for breakfast a lot and I love it!  It works best with something that is a little sweet. Mommy makes it cold by keeping the baby food in the fridge with the yogurt. The cold feels SO good on my sore gums! 

Yummy yum yum.  Bonus- If you get it on your hand it makes excellent conditioner in your hair. 

**Product Review**Nuby iMonster Snack Keeper

My friends at Nuby asked me to review this. And I like it. Mommy gives it to me to play with while I am in my high chair and she is cleaning.   She puts little snacks inside it for me to get out.  I haven't really figured it out yet, but if you turn it upside down and shake it it rattles. And the hands are great for gumming, the feet are too.  (I've only got two teeth you know)  I like to stick my fingers in the mouth and the "teeth" make me giggle.

**Mommy says** what a great idea!  This is recommended for ages 12mo and up. Keigan is only 8 months right now, so I know that this is one of those things that will grow with him.    Right now he likes to just play with it while I clean the kitchen, but I know he'll figure out how to get those snacks out soon.  The soft silicone flaps are great for his little exploring fingers to worm their way through. The snacks rattle around in there, and he can see them, but they don't come spilling out, even when it goes crashing to the floor. (And it has.) Anything that buys me at least 15 minutes of time to clean up is a win in my book.

These are available for purchase at Burlington Coat Factory, Buy Buy Baby and several online retailers like amazon.com for $5.99. (It was on sale at time of posting for $4.99!)

Peter Rabbit Organic- Pumpkin, Carrot and Apple

Mmmm.... It was such a pretty color. Sometimes baby food can look so icky.  It was nice and orange and lumpy with oatmeal mixed in.  I ate in a hurry, and only spit off the side of my high chair once.  That's a new game I have. Spitting over the side.  One day I'll hit the cat. I just know it. 

Peter Rabbit is all organic, with no added salt, sugar or anything artificial. And there's a cute little bunny on the outside of the pack.  Mommy can't wait until I can just suck right out of the package.

Made in the USA!

Earths Best _ Banana Raspberry and Brown Rice

This is the last of the Earths Best fruit and grain puree's we found.  I liked them all!!!  Mommy mixed some extra brown rice into this one and served it warm.  The ingredients are simple again, bananas, water, raspberries, brown rice, citric acid and those vitamins again.   It was good! Nice and sweet and smelled like bananas!!!  The color wasn't really appetizing though-

Earths Best - Pear Apricot and Barley.

Mommy and I get excited still when we see new baby food flavors at the store. I think she is a little sad that I am starting to eat big boy food and not so much baby food anymore.   This one was really good. I tried it first with just barley added, and it was ok. But my top teeth are coming in so I prefer breakfast COLD.  Mommy mixed some yogurt and more barley into it and I ate it up QUICK.  She laughs at me because when she gets the food the way I like it, I eat FAST.

This is USDA organic, ingredients are pears, water, apricots, whole grain barley citric acid and some of the added vitamins etc. that they put in to Earths Best. 

Earths Best Apple Plum Kumut-

YUM!  Mommy explained that Kumut is a fancy name for wheat. This was super good with barley mixed into it.  It was a pretty purple color too!  Mommy was testing a new spoon (update on that later) and I still managed to eat this all gone quick!  It was a little bit sweet tasting.

The ingredients are Apples, water, plums, kumut, oats, citric acid and some other vitamins added. It is USDA organic and has no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

Happy Tot- Sweet Potato, Apple, Carrot and Cinnamon

Happy tot made me happy.  I ate it all gone. It was warm, which was new to me, so I wasn't too sure about this.


Mommy says- There is a lot of writing on the outside of this- so I wasn't crazy about the packaging. (And I am confused as to how this particular brand lists 0 mg of sodium when most other brands of organic have at least 10mg with far fewer ingredients) 
Dr Sears recommends this brand, and Keigan liked it pretty well. I mixed barley with it, and served it warm. (thanks to the Nuby Bottle warmer we are currently testing!)

Gerber NatureSelect- Apples and Cherries

Mommy got me this one, even though she HATES cherries. You know what? I LOVE them.  This was yummy cold right out of the fridge to help my sore gums.  I ate it so fast and yelled for more.  The ingredients are simple too. Apples, Cherries, water and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). If this were organic, I'd get it more often.

Buddy Fruit- Apple and Multifruit

What is a Multifruit you ask? Well- according to the label it is a mixture of banana, passion fruit juice, mango, strawberry and some apple juice.  All I know is that it is GOOD!   Mommy got this at Kroger on sale for $1 a pouch.  (The gecko likes the mango one)  I love them with my morning oatmeal!

Peter Rabbit Organics- Carrot Squash and Apple

How do you get this stuff out of here??   I'll figure it out- 

This stuff was really good. Of course it had squash in it, which is my favorite, well, one of my favorites anyway.  Mommy warmed it up, and mixed in some Gerber mixed grain and YUM!!

I can't say enough good things about Peter Rabbit Organics. He has loved EVERY single flavor!! I am touting the made in the USA bit on every post because I feel it is so important to support American companies when we can!!! 

Happy Baby- Broccoli, Peas and Pear

Ehh... it was ok I guess. I didn't eat it very fast.  Mommy still wonders about this brand. The sodium is listed at 0mg when most other brands have at least 10mg of sodium.  She mixed in Gerber rice and everything. It was just ok.

Yo Baby Vanilla yogurt

I love this stuff.  It is cold and feels so good on my swollen gums. Sometimes lately it is all mommy can get me to eat.  I'll be glad when all these teeth come in.

Yo Baby is organic but is nice and sweet. I love it.

Ellas Kitchen - The yellow one.

I liked this package. It is smaller than normal and a pretty color.  The ingredients are bananas, apples, mangoes and apricots with a little lemon juice. It was really tasty and is USDA organic. Mommy mixed in a little oatmeal, and served this with my yogurt for lunch. YUM. 

Gerber Nature Select Smoothies- Vanilla Custard Pudding with Bananas

I got to eat this one cold right out of the fridge. It really made my gums feel better.  There are a lot of ingredients, including egg yolks, so if you may have allergies, don't eat this one! Gerber has no added salt, starch, artificial flavors or colors and is sweetened with juice concentrate. 

**Mommy says** He loves these. Now... if Gerber would start making organic fruit and veggie mixes!

Peter Rabbit - Pea. Spinach and Apple

Another YUM!!!!!!!  I LOVED this one. Mommy mixed in some Gerber Mixed Grains to give it my texture and I gobbled it down.  USDA organic, no added salt, sugar and nothing artificial. The ingredients are all listed in the title.  Mommy says she will order this brand online for me when I am older. Since it is in a pouch I'll be able to have a nice healthy snack whenever I want.  I think her favorite part, other than the pouch, is the made in the USA part. 

Gerber Organic Pear Strawberry granola

Mommy fed me this one right out of the container.  It was super good. I was hungry today so I just gobbled it up and wasn't in the mood for pictures. 

The ingredients are pears, apple juice, strawberry puree, oat flour, brown rice flour, wheat flour and tuna oil (ummm eww) and a few other things. But I still liked it and ate it right up.

Peter Rabbit- Sweet potato, Corn and Apple

So far Peter Rabbit has been nothing but YUM!!!!   Organic, no added salt or sugar, nothing artificial and made in the USA!!  It was naturally sweet, mixed in with Gerber Barley cereal and I loved it. I was just mad when it was all gone.

Thank you Peter Rabbit for picking me!
