BabySense monitor

We bought a motion sensor monitor for Joslyn's cribby this week. We have been looking for some time now for a motion monitor that would work for Joslyn. But all of the ones we found were small and did not fit the whole crib. But we came across The Baby Sense V monitor.
It is the only monitor, that we have found, that fits the whole crib. So when Joslyn moves around... she will not move off the monitor and therefor not cause false alarms. Plus this is the only motion monitor rated for birth to 18 months!
It came in the mail last week and we have used it for 3 days so far. I have to say that this item is our #1 recommended item for any parent! Since Joslyn had apnea issues as a new born, we have been very concerned about her at night. Even more so when she out grew her Apnea machine at 6 months old. Some people think we are just worry wort's and question why we bought this new monitor... but SIDS is a HUGE risk and fear. Why not do everything you can to prevent it? My cousin lost her son to SIDS last year.... so we know it can happen!

This monitor picks up Joslyn's breathing and every move she makes. If no breathing or movement is picked up for 20 seconds (like her apnea Monitor) then the alarm will go off. It is such a piece of mind for us. We have had no false alarms, we have tried to trick the machine.... and it can not be fooled! We love this monitor. We also still have her video monitor set up so we can see and hear her during naps and at night time.

If you are looking for something super special and a great gift..... this one is for sure our #1 pick!

Happy shopping!

My fav Mother Wear clothing item

As most of you know, Joslyn is breast fed. Now finding clothes that works well with breast feeding can be Hard!!! I belong to a breastfeeding blog called breastfeeding.blog.motherwear.com
They also have their own line of breastfeeding clothes. The one item that I LOVE is the strapless nursing bra. I use it at night and it is wonderful! I would recommend it to any new nursing momma! It lifts so easily while still giving support.... plus it stays up!!!! The picture below is a picture of what I am talking about.... NO the model is not me! hehe. (although that would be nice!!!)

2nd tooth and 10 months old!

We have been busy here in the Souders' household! Joslyn has gotten her second tooth last week! She looks so cute with two bottom teefers! Her first tooth is really showing now! Just too cute! She likes to stick her tongue out and rub it against her newly found teeth! hehe.
She is a standing on her own fanatic! She can hold toys in her hands while standing, transfer the toys from hand to hand while standing, and shake Mackinac's toys while standing! (she loves his toys! hehe)
We think that Joslyn is not 100% human! hehe. She has this thing that she will screech ALL the time. She is not upset, sleepy, or sad when she does it. She does it while playing and just looking at us! We call it her monster scream. Here it is:








She is down to one dose of meds a day now... and very close to trying no meds at all. We are so excited that she may be able to have no meds! WAHOO!!!!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Joslyn had fun celebrating with hearts and flowers while mommy had yummy chocolate! We even made daddy a special card and Joslyn got to color!!!!! It was a wonderful day!

SHE IS STANDING ON HER OWN!!!!!



Look at her! She is 9.5 months old and within 1 day she has a tooth and she is standing! How crazy is she?!
