Great Grandma Anne

Link is very fortunate to meet his Great Grandma, she is a wonderful lady. She recently celebrated her 90th birthday and is very happy when Link gets to visit. Spending time with a great grandparent is rare, he's a lucky little guy!

Link Loves: one month


1. Taggies Peaceful Snuggles Swing n Sway
Lincoln's favorite pastime these days is swinging. This swing is great because it swing side to side or front to back, the mobile spins on it's own, and the music is quite nice. I also love the cute colour scheme! The only downside is that it's battery powered.

2. Earth Mama Angel Natural Non-Scents Baby Shampoo
I have had sensitive skin my entire life so I was glad to find this organic unscented shampoo and body wash. It is nice and foamy and comes in a pump that is easily used with one hand. It seems small but each bottle provides more than 300 pumps.

3. First Years BabyPro Bottle Warmer
The water reservoir makes this warmer nicer than most others I've seen. You don't have to measure it out at all just fill it up every few days and your good to go. (I only do a couple bottles per day) You set the bottle type, size, contents (breastmilk/formula/food), and temperature (room/fridge/frozen).

4. Baby White Noise App
It makes a nighttime diaper change less shocking and he remains calm and falls back asleep more easily. I mean who wouldn't want warm toilet paper??

5. Advent Classic Pacifier
Link hasn't really caught on to the soother but this is the only one that he will take at all, but it has only been a handful of times.

6. Tommee Tippee Bottles
We have been lucky that the transition to bottles has been easy. He doesn't seem to have a problem going back and forth from breast to bottle. I don't know if it's the shape of these nipples or what but they work well for us.

7. Fisher Price Whale of a Tub
He really loves his baths! The shape of the tub provided support even when he was a tiny newborn. I didn't worry about him sliding down into the water though I would never ever leave him alone.

8. Peg Perego Book Plus Stroller
This was one of the items I did the most research on before Link was born. Strollers are a big investment and there are so many options! I am totally happy with the Book Plus, it it so smooth and turns on a dime. I also love that you can fold it up with one hand and that I don't need an adapter to use it with our car seat. The black on black polka dots add some fun without screaming "baby."

9. Mineral Oil
This is so gentle on his baby skin. He loves his nightly massage after bath time!

New Tim Horton's

Link and Gram

We went to visit my mom and brother at their new Tim Horton's today, so exciting! It's the fourth location for them and the nicest design yet, it even has a fireplace and a TV! I'm so proud of them, they work so hard and I know it will be a success. My brother and I grew up running around my mom's stores so it was neat to take Link. I hope his friends think it's cool that he can hook them up with donuts just like mine did :)
