What a Deal!

 

So since September I have been trying to learn how to coupon. Each month I get a little better, but today I really hit the jackpot.  Everything pictured would have cost $162 dollars! Guess how much I got it for????

$15.98

This was a rare trip, and I owe a lot of it to my dear insider at Albertsons, Keilah. Hopefully there will be many more of these to follow!

What We've All Been Waiting For.....

Well, maybe just me, but I bet you'll be excited too. Last week a friend of mine, Amy, was so great to do a photoshoot for me. We FINALLY got pictures of babies and toddlers in our belts. I got them today and they look awesome! They totally changed the look of our website and Etsy shop- definitely for the better!

Amy is very talented (and very busy) so it was incredibly generous of her to help us out! Check out a couple here and then look here and here to see more. They are so cute!

Don't forget to enter our giveaway! 4 days left!

Cookie Monster

Soren is such a caring Dad. He really personalizes how Easton feels. This is evident in how quickly he changes a poopy diaper, whether or not he lets him stay in a soggy shirt, or how long he wants to let him cry in bed. Today we made cookies while Easton was asleep. They turned out amazing and as we picked out ones to eat he said, "Oh I'm saving this one for Easton!" (Note: We do not feed Easton cookies-maybe nibbles on rare occasion.) He then decided to run upstairs and leave a cookie for Easton, in his bed, to find when he woke up. I found it pretty funny although I doubted he would find the cookie, or a least we would hear him before he ate it. Well see what we did find when heard his first post-nap peep-

Yes Easton had found the cookie....

And eaten every crumb except the chocolate that was smashed in his bedding. We were both very surprised. Even if he did eat the cookie, we didn't expect him to lick his bed clean.

YUM!

Walk with Daddy

Yesterday we went to the church building to help clean it for Stake Conference. We were surprised to find it almost done when we got there, but we brought brownies so we shared them with our friends. We borrowed a backpack carrier from a friend and Soren had brought it to try out while vaccumming or something. Since we didn't end up cleaning, he and Easton decided to try it by walking the 20 minutes home. As you can see they had a great time, even in Washington weather.

ONE little BELT dot com

ONE little BELT has a website! I have spent way too many hours designing and laying this baby out, but I am pretty happy with it. It will still be evolving and changing, but this will be belt central.

Here you can find info on sizes, where to buy, our story, pictures and info on new belts. Check it out and feel free to add a link to it to your blog! :)

Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing

Question: What to do if your 8 month old is terrified of the bath?

Answer:?

On our trip to Missouri Easton was just loving baths in Grandma's tub, just like he always did at home. He showed the whole family how well he can STAND in the tub and play with all the knobs and faucet.

Near the end of our trip he had a rashy bum and just cried when we put him in the bath- understandable. Unfortunately the next time I put him in the tub, the water was too hot. He cried again. And every bath since. He is no longer rashy and I use cool water, but I think he has developed a bath phobia. He tries to get away whenever I get him anywhere near the tub.

Its really sad because I think that may have been one of his top 5 life activities. So I am wondering if this will last. Do I need to help him get over this somehow?
