Friday Favorite

March 18, 2011

Today’s Friday Favorite really is a FAVORITE!  I think this little monkey is destined to be Maxwell’s prized possession – the one thing we won’t be able to go anywhere without, the friend he’ll need to sleep, and his best little buddy.  I have to thank Supernanny Susan for this too – it was her idea to get one of these pacifier friends.

Maxwell’s monkey is a Pacimal – a stuffed animal with a pacifier attached to it’s head.  It’s great because Maxwell can easily hold onto it and get it back into his mouth when it falls out.  Robert and I have watched him on the monitor many nights scoot around his bed until he finds the monkey and gets it in his mouth.  He LOVES it and it’s a must for nap and night time!  They come with a Soothie pacifier but you can also buy an adaptor to use the other types of pacifiers with it.  There are all different cute animals too.  We named our little monkey Nanner – as in Bananner.  It seemed like a fitting name.

Here’s some pics of Maxwell with Nanner, his best bud…

While the pacifier makes it into his mouth a lot, Nanner’s arms and legs are chewed on quite a bit too!

We love Nanner!!

Have a fantastic weekend!!

Friday Favorite

Today’s Friday Favorite is Sophie the Giraffe!  Sophie has a bit of a cult following in the baby toy world and I can see why.  Maxwell absolutely loves this squeaky little rubber giraffe and chews on it more than any of his other toys.  I think it feels good to his gums.

Sophie is French (ooh la la) and has been around since 1961!  You can read the whole story about how she came to be here – Sophie.

Here’s Maxwell chewing, chewing, chewing on Miss Sophie!

I highly recommend Sophie to anyone with a baby!

Have a great weekend!

Friday Favorite

February 18, 2011

Hi Everyone – as I’ve mentioned before, Maxwell has been taking all of his naps in his swing.  It’s been working great but I know he needs to start sleeping in his crib during the day.  Any advice on making this transition?  I’m not sure how well my nanny will do with letting him “cry it out.”  Any tips are appreciated!!

On to today’s Friday Favorite – meet Ruff Ruff.  This little squeaky dog is one of Maxwell’s favorites.  We keep it on his changing table and whenever he starts to fuss, all you have to do is squeak Ruff Ruff in his face and he gets so happy!  It always makes me laugh how excited he gets to see this little pup.  I have no idea who gave this toy to us but, thank you!

Of course, much like all of his other toys, Ruff Ruff just ends up in Maxwell’s mouth 99% of the time…

If you’re wondering, Ruff Ruff got his creative name from Robert.  I guess it’s better than Spot…  🙂

Have a great weekend!

Friday Favorite – Swings!

January 28, 2011

Today’s Friday Favorite are the swings in the park nearby.  I was able to sneak away for a few minutes during lunch yesterday to meet Susan and Maxwell at the park and loved getting to see Maxwell in the swings like a big boy!  Of course, I think the padding on his “bunny suit” had a little something to do with how well he fit in the seat.  Maxwell loved it and just smiled the whole time!  I definitely think the swings are going to be a favorite of his for a while!

Here’s Susan getting him all ready to go:

Away we go!

Warning – picture overload coming up.  I just love all these sweet faces and can’t narrow it down…

Hope you all have a swinging good time this weekend!!  🙂
