Cutting new teeth!

So I'm really excited that Eli is now cutting is 2 front teeth! He cut his 2 bottom teeth at only 4 months old, and I have to say, he takes it really well. He doesn't cry or freak out like I've heard they do. I bet that we'll have a mouth full of teeth my 1 lol. He's still eating just fine, well he likes to make the fart sounds and spit his food out, but I'm not thinking that it's a symptom of teething, that's more like being a boy!

I has the internet!

Finally I have been invited back to the internet! I went without for about a week and I have to tell you it was absolutely terrible! I'm finally adjusting to life living on my own and so is Eli, I feel like I'm not helping him adjust very well as he still doesn't understand this is home. He wants to go to grandma's all of the time, when we do go there he's happier then he's ever been which makes me feel worse when we have to go back home. I wish I could do something to make him understand. I sure hope that this does not last to long.

Now that the storm has finally calmed I feel much better. I've unpacked my things and I'm waiting for Eli's dresser so I can finish in his room. It's weird to be there with just Eli, and by the way we have no internet! Seriously?! What am I going to do until we get it lol. I'm so bored all of the time and Eli doesn't like being there he just wants to go to Grandma's house :( Last night after unpacking a few things I went to lie in bed and what do I see to my surprise? Mc Donalds bright and shining sign blaring through my window! I can't wait to get my curtains up so I don't have to deal with that. Well, I'm going back home now :) Until next time...

New Apartment

So I signed the least on my new apartment in Layton. I was so excited about it until I looked at the apartment! The carpets were the most disgusting thing that I've ever seen, the bathroom floor had dust on it, the apartment smelled like smoke really bad! There was a few pieces of trash in there and has the feel of a cheap hooker motel...

However, I refuse to let the apartment stay like this, so I had Tylor clean the carpets, I will keep candles lite in there until the smell goes away, I will clean the walls & class the place up a little. I just feel terrible that my son has to live in a place like this, it scares me to no end. I want to be able to protect him and I feel a little scared, hopefully if I keep to myself no one will bother me.

Starting my new crazy life in my new apt! I'm so scared, I've moved before but it was more like a vacation that I paid a lot of money for! I was always able to come back home but this time it's for good. Me and Eli will be so happy together!

Dream in me bath seat.

I searched and searched for a baby seat for bath time and I came up short for an amazing one so I decided to go with this one. I liked the toys in the front, the easy open front and the thought of having him sit up. The only thing that I do not like about this specific tub is that the suction cups do not work. So it doesn't make bath time so hands free as I was hoping, I do have to hold onto the bath or he'll either tip over or get rearranged in the bath lol. Bath time is sometimes the only time he is happy while teething! Here is a picture to show of our new bath!

Homeopathic teething

If you would like to try a homeopathic way to help your baby while teething here are 5 ways to help!

Hylands Teething Tablets- These are a sweet tablet for teething children. Unfortunately Hyland's has chosen to remove there tablets for a recall because there is currently no safety lid on the bottle and the tablets can only be taken in small dosages as recommended which some parents are not following. Belladonna is in the tablets which is what is causing the huge hub bub! So wait for this to come back on the market before giving this to your kiddo, the ingredients in this are;

Calcarea Phosphorica - natural salt that helps your body absorb calcium - Good

Chamomilla - natural wild flower - tea anyone - Good

Coffea Cruda - natural herb used for sleeplessness, alcohol withdraw support and teething - (no caffeine) - Good

Belladonna - hmm, AKA deadly nightshade, used for centuries for it's anti inflammatory effects. - this is the opiate they are talking about - 0.0003% Alkaloids - this is the amount in there - not enough to get your baby high by a long shot - OK

Hylands Kids Kit- This contains Aconite 30X, Arnica 30X, Belladonna 30X, Chamomilla 30X, Ferrum Phos. 30X, Hapar Sulph. 30X, Bumps 'n Bruises Ointment. This seems to be all the rave with several moms! These also come in the tablets which my kiddo absolutely loves the tablets.

Camilia Teething Relief- Unlike the Teething Tablets this is a liquid. It helps with sore gums, restlessness & irritability that comes along with teething. It's alcohol free, sugar free & has not artificial colors, flavors or preservatives! It comes in a handy dandy little unbreakable and sterile disposable capsule. This is only for children 4 months and older. The ingredients are Belladonna
( because these are in capsules it's given in moderation ) Chamomilla & Ferrum Phosphoricum.

Humphreys Teething Pellets- These are a lot like the Hylands except they come in Very Cherry and Very Berry.

Hylands Teething Gel- This is also like the Baby Orajel but all natural baby! I am not sure on the strength of this but it comes recommended from various sources.
