Dry Skin Lifesavers

I don't know if any of you have the same problem, but winter is absolutely brutal on my skin! Here are a few products I discovered (or someone told me about) that have really helped me survive this winter.

#1. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator - I love this product! It smooths all the dead, dry skin by exfoliating my face. I love how shiny and healthy my skin looks after using it!

#2. The Ped-Egg- I know, I know...I was skeptical at first. Normally, items sold "As Seen On TV" don't work. My cousin suggested trying the Ped-Egg and I was pleasantly surprised. At the risk of sounding like the commercial, my feet really did feel like I had just gotten a pedicure. They are still smooth and I did it about a week ago.



#3. Aveeno Baby Lotion - This lotion is thicker than the regular Aveeno body lotion and I like it better.




Anyone have any other dry skin lifesavers?

Weekend Silliness

So, Rex is becoming rather vocal lately. He's got the "G" words down pat: Goo-goo, ga-ga, etc. He also has this high-pitched, falsetto that he likes to bust out occasionally. But I figured it was time for him to learn some "B" words: Boo-boo, ba-ba, etc. So I thought I'd demonstrate the proper way to pronounce "Ba-ba", and he thought it was hilarious:



This weekend also marked a big milestone for Rex as he devoured his first bowl of rice cereal. On Saturday we cruised over to Babies R Us to grab a high chair and the necessary tools: spoons, bowl, bib and went to work. Here are a few pics of the big day:

So...what's going on?

OK, sounds fun.

Smell test...

mmmm...not bad. What do you call this?

Mom doing the feeding

Good Stuff.

Dad gets in on the action

This is funny!

That was fun! Can we do it again?

And Rex wasn't the only one having fun. I found a bottle of bubbles at the store and wondered if perhaps Harley would go bonkers over them. I was right:

Mexico

Here are a few pictures from my family's recent trip to Mexico (notice there are no kids in any of these pictures!)

Oww Oww!!!!

Sorry you have to see this, I really just wanted to post a picture of the beautiful water. Instead you get our beautiful bodies.

We celebrated Josh's birthday -- he turned 29 while we were in Mexico. Not a bad place to spend your birthday!

Totally cheesy, but really fun!


And a HUGE thank you to Melanie for coming out and staying with Rex! We were actually able to relax and have fun knowing he was in good hands.
