Is your baby Safe

Did you know that there are 54 treatable disease that a new born can have but left untreated could kill!! I didn't till my hubby sent this link about Hunters Hope foundation here you can locate your state and see which ones they test for. If you are a fellow Utahian I can tell you exactly how this process works their test is called PKU and test for 37 the first test is done at the hospital and the second test is done at your child's wellness check which is either one-two weeks after birth. They prick the heel and squeeze babies blood onto a sheet with several circles on it the nurse then tells you if you don't hear any thing from the state of Utah your ok .. well a little letter saying you passed would probably be ideal but at least they are one of two states that test the most dieases.. but the hope of this foundation is to make every state test for all of them not to much to ask when a child's life is at risk right. I plan on writing a letter to the state and supporting Hunters Hope Fondation for the rest of my mother hood life won't you join the quest in saving or babies life's

Put Your Body in Motion

Squirmy has shown an interest in crawling, but at this point it consist of him sicking his butt up and pushing with his legs while he drags he face along the carpet
[Hey it gets the job done]
So today I have done a little research to give him the tools he needs to be successful at this crawling thing
first thing was this little fAcTo I found
"Firstly, about 50% of all infants can "crawl" at 7
months; 75% can do so at 10 months and roughly 90% of all infants have mastered it at 11
months."
The I found this little 5 step method

• 
  

  
  P - Put on the carpet.
  The very first thing any baby must master before there's any hope of
  learning to crawl… is being comfortable in the tummy lying position.
  You'll get great results doing this if you talk to and play with your
  baby when she's on the carpet.

  
  


• 
  

  
  P - Put together a roller.
  Roll an ordinary bathroom towel into a "sausage". Of course, you can
  also buy any other type of roller. They're soft cylindrical shaped
  toys... preferably solid. You do get inflatable ones, but solid ones
  normally last much longer and can also be used to get teach your child
  to sit and walk.



• 
  

  
  P - Position the elbows.
  This step requires you to do something. Gently hold your baby by the
  elbows and draw them towards her body. It will almost seem as if your
  child wants to lie on her elbows. Continue to provide support.

  
  


• 
  

  
  P - Position on roller.
  Gently position the "sausage" under your baby's upper body… arms
  hanging over the front of the "sausage". The towel "sausage" supports
  the upper body - NOT her stomach - with her elbows just touching the
  carpet. It should slightly raise her upper body thereby allowing her to
  discover the surroundings. Make sure her elbows touch the carpet - they
  must not be hanging in the air.

  
  


• 
  

  
  P - Perform in front.
  This is the most important step. Get down on the floor directly in
  front of your child and face her. Now, let your baby look at your face
  while you talk to, amuse and encourage her.

Also they suggested getting one of these nifty toys

Im going to test this method out on Squirmy and see how it goes updates to follow and maybe a video of the little guy in motion

*A Self Acomplishment*

When I got pregnant with my little Squirmy I weighed 125 lbs [I had gained the freshman 15 in college :( ]
during my pregnancy I gained 19 1bs putting me at 144
at my 4 week check up postmortem I weighed in at 120
I had lost 24 lbs woohoo
Over this last month I have been going to the gym with my friend Em
we do a really easy work out that consist of walking in on the treadmills while watching which ever movie is playing in the what we call the movie room
and I also have started taking the stairs at work
and in this short month with out dieting I now weight 117 that 3 more lbs gone
I want to be at my high school weight of 110 by Christmas so I can suprise my hubby with one of
Victoria's Secrets
so here is to loosing the last 7 : )

So the purchase of the Tickle me version of this little guy was made
[we are going to get him ELMO LIVE for Christrmas]
