Seriously? I haven’t posted an update on Harper in quite a while, mostly because time is just moving too fast. And I thought it moved fast with twins… This little blue-eyed baby girl is determined to grow up.
At one month, she was holding her head up. At three months, she was rolling over. At 4 months, she was laughing, trying to sit up, and trying to crawl. Yes, you read that right. She legitimately is trying so hard to move forward. It’s hilarious. But the one thing, I wasn’t ready for at all is teeth! She just turned 5 months old, and is getting her two bottom teeth. Now, I know normal range is 4 to 6 months, but my twinsies didn’t get them until 7 or 8 months, and definitely not two at a time! I am so very thankful Nuby sent me these teething products to try out. Life couldn’t go on without them.
We received the ZooLoops teethers and Teething Trends Medium Oval & Pearl Necklace. I love the ZooLoops more than any other teether I ever had with the twins! Simply because it’s easy for Harper to hold, and the character is small enough to fit in her tiny mouth. She has the smallest head on a baby that I’ve ever seen. We’re talking <5th percentile. (Don't worry though, she's normal!) ZooLoops come two in a pack, and ours is a pink turtle and blue horse. They're so adorable. Harper likes the blue one better, but both are so soft. I LOVE that they're BPA free, and an added bonus is that they don't make that squeaky sound that makes you cringe when she chews on it. Here's a tip: add a couple of toy link rings to the loop and slide one ring over baby's wrist. Voila! You've got a teething bracelet that helps baby keep up with the ZooLoop. You can buy ZooLoops on Amazon.
The Teething Trends Necklace is also perfect! I wear Harper a lot in my Baby K’tan, since I need to be hands-free for the twins. Having this necklace is just another way that allows me to multi-task, as I don’t have to hold a teether in her mouth for her! This is one necklace that I don’t mind Harper’s drool-covered hands grabbing. I’d much rather it be this than my beloved mother’s necklaces, or my hair! This necklace is my favorite color and so comfy and stylish to wear. It’s made of soft silicone, which means that it doesn’t snag my hair, and it washes clean easily. The necklace comes in teal, gray, black and white. Nuby also offers other styles. You can buy Teething Trends necklaces at Walmart.
