Review: Infantino's Pop & Swap Gym

We love Infantino’s new product, the Pop & Swap Gym!!! I would absolutely recommend this product for babies, which they can use as they grow. My son is 7 months old and it is his new favorite toy. He is captivated by the music, the dancing lights, the hanging toys, and the interactive pods. The gym can be set up on a stand for baby to lie under or they can sit in front of it. The legs easily come off and the base can be attached to baby’s crib or set on the floor for some tummy time fun. It is very simple and quick to attach and detach the legs to the base toy. My son loves to sit in front of it (perfect height) and it helps him keeps his balance while he is learning to sit. My favorite part of this new toy is that it can be changed to keep it fresh and keep baby curious! The hanging toys can be removed and changed out or attached to other things. And the pods are genius! Each pod has a strap (which is hidden when it pops into the gym) so it can be attached to the stroller or car seat for on-the-go fun! I cannot wait to get more pods for my little boy! Disclaimer: I have received the Pop & Swap Gym from Infantino to facilitate my review.

Silent Night, Holy Night

With a big smile on my face, I can say that Cuddle Bug is working on sleeping more through the night. Every once in awhile, he gives us that joyous Silent Night with about a 4-5 hour stretch. Last night was 5.5 hours of pure bliss as we all slept soundly. We hope that Bug's Christmas present to us would be a full night's sleep and his first smile. We can hope! Christmas has arrived and we are trying to make baby's first Christmas so special. Bug got to meet Santa 3 times already, and even got an official certificate saying he's on the nice list. His swing is right by the Christmas tree and he seems to enjoy looking at the twinkling lights as he swings. Cuddle Bug also got to participate in lots of fun activities for Big Brothers 2nd birthday, like zoolights and even a visit to a fire station. I was hoping that the Christmas season would bring about a few less meetings and less drama. Sadly, it has not. We have had a handful of meetings every week this month. You kno

Our CuddleBug

Our little cuddle bug has officially become a part of our family.  Big brother has quickly grown to love his little brother and often looks out for him, saying "It's okay" when he cries and even wiping his nose with a tissue. Of course, Big Brother is also an older brother, so he knows the right buttons to push too, mainly touching Little Brother's nose when he's sleeping until he wakes up.  Big Brother has been acting out in other ways, seeking attention in all the wrong ways, but that may have something to do with him turning 2 years old next week.  My little man is figuring out that he has an opinion and he's falling right into his two-year-old BIG attitude. I've started calling Baby Brother my cuddle bug for a good reason; he's just so cuddly!  This tiny baby has grown before our eyes in the 3 weeks that we have had him in our home. He's gained 2 pounds, which is just a huge amount for a newborn. And he just wants to be held all day long. Bug

Two Mommies

One very unique characteristic of kiddos in foster care is that they have two mommies and two daddies.  As I have mentioned, whenever  a child comes into care, the case plan always starts as reunification and most of the time that means court-ordered supervised visits on a regular basis. These kiddos are transitioning from one home to another and sometimes have a chance to go back to their birth mommy or daddy.   Visits can be very helpful to keep that bond. Sometimes we, as foster parents, don't remember the positive reasons for visits. This is why it was really hard when Cuddle Bug's caseworker called me today and told me a stranger would be picking him up today for his supervised visit. It was difficult, but it's not my responsibility to make a fuss about it or make it more challenging. It's our job as foster parents to help this baby through this. Even for a newborn, it must be confusing and a bit unsettling. So we can cuddle him as much as he wants, we can tell him
