Shake, Shake, Shake!

 So I learned how to shake my head today and I do it so well.  I even do it on command as you will see.

Mommy thinks it’s odd how babies always learn to say “no” before “yes” and learn how to shake their heads before nodding. 

In this video, you’ll also see me eating a Gerber apple whole wheat puff and giving Mommy a high-five.

Silky, Smooth Skin

I’ve finally got silky, smooth skin and I didn’t even need Creme de la Mer to get there!

Ever since the weather has gotten colder, Mommy has been having a heck of a time trying to keep my baby skin soft.  It’s nearly an impossible task and I end up having very red cheeks with sometimes very dry skin.  Some people have called me “apple” cheeks and some people have even said that they liked my natural, no-need-for-blush complexion, but Mommy doesn’t really consider them compliments.  Mommy’s also been inundated with questions about why my cheeks are red, what kinds of creams are put on my face, if I have a medical skin condition and if my skin is dry in other areas of my body.

Mommy initially tried Aquaphor for babies and it seemed to work okay, except that it’s extremely thick and greasy.  Then, Mommy noticed that Auntie Ching-Chun’s baby has perfect skin without any patches of dryness or redness.  Turn out, Auntie Ching-Chun uses Burt’s Bees!  Auntie Ching-Chun was also kind enough to give Mommy bottles of what she uses:  Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion and Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash.

Since then, my skin has been much, much better.  So, to my fellow babies out there, get your Mommy & Daddy to try out Burt’s Bees for silky, smooth skin!
