Things I can't seem to live without

Lately I have been trying to find ways to get rif of things in this house. We have so much STUFF!! I keep trying to find places to put things and I am running out of space. I remember everyone telling us that babies come with lots of stuff, but seriously, this is a lot of stuff the other problem, is that I don't want to get rid of the things that Jacob has grown out of because God willing there will be another baby in the family somewhere down the line. But day to day there are just somethings that I can't live without.

1. My cell phone-It is my connection to my dad who is currently sailing from the BVI's to Key West, it is an improptu camera for those spontaneous moments, it allows me to send quick messages to my super busy hubby, and if we are lucky, it lets us video chat with him as well. I know that some people call them evil, but for me it is something that I use all the time.

2. Sound Machine- I never knew how important this little machine would be. It is amazing how much better Jacob naps and sleeps when it is on. We started with white noise, but lately have been listening to coastal waves, and he seems to enjoy them just as much.

3. Diet Coke- I deprived myself of caffiene for the majority of my pregnancy and for a while after Jacob was born as well, but now it is back in my life and everyone is very thankful.

4. Real Camera- Although this item doesn't get used everyday, it gets used at least once a week. I try to make sure that we keep documented all of Jacob's first year. I love looking at all of my baby pictures and I want Jacob to be able to do the same.

5. Jacob's Exersaucer- This is his favorite thing right now, and has been for a few months. It is a great place for me to be able to put him down for a few minutes while I work on dinner, fold laundry, or go to the bathroom. :)

That is all for now. Jacob's nap is just about over and it is time for dinner. Hope that the fever he had pre-nap has gone down thanks to the Tylenol. We have a trip planned for the beach this weekend and I need a happy healthy baby!

My water baby!
