MISSION: Throw him in the "Heart to Heart" sling we got (see my earlier post about this) and bounce up and down on a exercise ball. The exercise ball I got at Sports Basement with the intention that I was going to labor on the ball - which is a great comfort during the labor process and really opens up the hips. I didn't need to ball however, as the hospital had a few of them on hand. But I digress.... So this big purple ball has just been sitting in a corner collecting dust.
OBJECTIVE: Max was fussing and I did all I could to calm him down and nothing was working. I held him in my arms and sat down. I bounced up and down 3 times (NO JOKE!) and the little buster was asleep.
MISSION COMPLETED! Down for the count. Out cold. I highly recommend to anyone who has a fussy baby to get on of these balls and try out this technique. I'm coining this technique as "Jenn's Mojo Mix for Max" of "Jenn's MCubed "if you will.
Anyways here's a closeup of the little guy in full 'MCubed'.
This weekend we have Grandma Busch and Betty visiting us. I was trying to align a Grandma vs. Grandma arm wrestling match for the coveted title of 'Max's favorite Grandma'. But neither Bootsie or Busch were having it. Geez! I was even going to get a trophy made up. Guess I will scratch that idea :)
Max got his first Valentine's Day card from Grandma and Grandpa Busch. They also got him an adorable outfit from Target. Its a one piece from Dwell Studio for Target. I love Dwell. And I love even more that they are collaborating with Target on putting out cheaper products with the same fun Dwell look. Interestingly enough, they don't have all the available Dwell products available online. ( I went into the store and they had loads more there). I was eyeing a cute scooter printed outfit for Max. After he was born, we recieved and abundance of clothes (thanks family and friends!!) so I am not allowed to buy him any clothes just yet. Although I think I might cheat and get this (how adorable, right?!) I know its not Dwell...but something so cute AND Piratey.
Ok Mission Madre has to run - Wake Max up (J MCubed in full effect!!), feed him, Grandmas coming over, go to get Mani/Pedi. Bring it!
One more thing to mention - Mission centric news - I'm super excited about Heart, a new wine bar that opened at 24th/Valencia. Hopefully it will not turn into a hipster haven or become overrun by Marina scuppies (Scum + Yuppies) before we get to check it out. Come on, they serve wine in Mason jars - how great is that!?
