Prince Jax is now 5 1/2 months old and I was looking for an age appropriate toy that will engage his senses and keep him entertained. The great folks over at Yookidoo sent us their Crawl ‘n’ Go Snail which is a 2-in-1 children’s toy. …
I’m the proud grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren. My little grandson Prince Jax is 5 months old and my grand daughter Princess Gia is 6 years old. I’m very fortunate that I live only 10 minutes from my grandchildren and spend several days a week …
We were blessed back in September 2015 with the birth of our little grandson. We had waited a long 6 years for our second grandchild to arrive and once he did, we immediately fell in-love with him.
When my daughter was pregnant with our grandson she had recorded the baby’s heartbeat from one of her ultrasounds onto her smartphone. Now that she’s ready for a smartphone upgrade, we were looking for a way to transfer the baby’s ultrasound heartbeat to another device. This heartbeat sound recording is a keepsake that my daughter wants to keep.
Well, we found the solution and are super excited to introduce you to the My Baby’s Heartbeat Bear. Each plush animal comes with a recording device that the mom-to-be can take to her ultrasound appointment and record her child’s heartbeat! It’s super easy-to-use and all you do is press down on the recorder’s button and record the sound.
The plush animals are available in several different choices: a lamb, elephant, pink teddy bear, blue teddy bear, octopus, monkey, bunny rabbit, brown teddy bear, giraffe, fox, hippo and panda bear. All of them are equally adorable! For the review, we received the elephant.
Since my precious little grandson is already here…we simply turned up the volume on my daughter’s smartphone and recorded the baby’s heartbeat directly from that. It worked out perfectly for us…so if you already have your child’s heartbeat recorded onto something else, you should be able to use this product too!
Jenelle now has Prince Jax’s ultrasound heartbeat captured forever in this beautiful keepsake! She has the elephant sitting on a shelf in his nursery and has the recordable heart device tucked away, so that she can play it for him when he’s older. The plush animals are super soft and extremely well-made. They are NOT tiny animals…the elephant is about 11″ or 12″ tall. The plush animals are for children ages 3 and up. Once the child becomes old enough, I’m sure the plushie will become one of his/her best friends!
You can head on over to the Heartbeat Animals web site to learn more about the product and to see all of the different animals that they have available. I think they would make a great baby shower gift!

Back when I was having babies…they didn’t have many options when it came to crib sheets. Thirty years ago, you walked into a store and bought whatever they had on the shelf and there wasn’t anything fancy about them. Looking back, I see now how …
I’m the mother to a precious 4 1/2 month old little boy and bathtime hasn’t always been easy. For the first 2 months of his life…he hated bathtime and would scream the entire time. Slowly, he got more used to it and now that we …
Back in September of 2015 I was blessed with my second grandchild, a little boy who we call Prince Jax. He’s now 5 months old and growing like a weed! Oh my gosh, how do babies grow so fast?
I spend a lot of time with both of my grandchildren and I needed a baby carrier to carry around Prince Jax. I needed one that would grow with him and one that was easy-to-use. You see, I’m a 48 year old grandmother and have never used a baby carrier…I knew that this one that I’m featuring today would be perfect for me!
The Chicco Close to you 3-Way Baby Carrier is made for babies from 7 1/2 lbs. up to 40 lbs. in weight. When your child is really little (infant) you can use the carrier facing in and worn on the front of your body. When the child gets a little older, you can use the carrier on the front of your body with the child facing out. The third way that you can use this carrier is by using it like a backpack to carry around older babies.
The carrier has some very impressive features too! Check this out:
* The baby carrier has a soft, padded front and back panel and harness.
* The parent vest portion of the carrier has adjustable and padded shoulder straps, waist belt and lumbar support. It can be fitted and adjusted for proper wearing position before attaching the carrier.
* The baby carrier opens out fully from the vest for easy in and out access.
* The padded waist belt helps to comfortably and evenly distribute weight.
* The lumbar support is structured with adjustable back support in 3 positions, plus it allows air to flow through for comfort.
* There is a removable bib to help protect you from dribbles and drool and there is a foot rest that provides support and comfort for smaller babies.
* Easy-to-Use 2-piece vest and carrier design that simplifies parent fit and adjustment.
One of the things that I absolutely LOVE about the Chicco Close to You 3-Way Baby Carrier is that it’s easy-to-use and super comfortable for any adult to wear. We’ve used the baby carrier with me wearing it, my 56 year old husband and of course Prince Jax’s mom and dad are both in their 30’s and are using it too! We adjust it to our particular needs which makes it comfortable to wear for each of us!
Next, Prince is almost 5 months old. He loves facing forward so that he can see everything that is going on. He doesn’t miss anything! You can tell that he loves having his arms and legs free so that he can move them around. He feels very secure in it and you can tell he’s comfortable in it because he often falls asleep when we are out-and-about doing things.
Finally, it’s quality constructed! There is nothing flimsy or cheesy about this baby carrier at all. You can tell that the company put a lot of thought into the design-work and construction of it. I know when we are done using it…we’ll pass it down to my niece who is expecting her second child in about 7 1/2 months. It’s a quality piece that can be used by multiple children!
When you shop for Chicco baby products you can find beautiful strollers, car seats, travel systems, highchairs, playards, baby carriers, feeding products, toys and even apparel for your little one! They really have some beautiful products and I’m looking forward to adding many more to our collection.
Head on over to Chicco to see everything that the company has to offer. We are super pleased with our new baby carrier and give it a rating of 10 stars out of 10 stars on our rating scale! A true top-notch product!
