I wanted to say "have a happy safe summer with your babies/toddlers" and use plenty of sun screen this summer. It is going to be a hot one for those Texas Babies. I also wanted to share a few things with you.
#1 - Have any of you tested the generic diapers at Wal-Mart or Target? I have tested both, and Aaliyah wears the Target brand diapers well. No rashes or anything. They are really cheap also.
#2 Online Photo Albums. Have any of you used them? I used to live by Photosite.com, but I kept maxing out the accounts. I am about to build my own website, and I found some great utilities that will create a web page for you with all the images. All you have to do is put your images in a particular folder, start the software, and it will do the rest. It is a tool that can be installed from Microsoft for FREE.
#3 Another kind of photo album - I am working on a digital scrapbook in my "spare time", and I found this tool that a lot of you may be able to use. You need Powerpoint 2000 to use it. Now if you have Powerpoint 2003 or better, it is built in already. Just click on New, and you will see Photo Album as a choice.
This allows you to insert photos and text, and it builds a stand-alone photo album to share with family and friends.
#4 BABY UPDATE - Liyah is now 16 months old, and about 25 pounds STILL. She hasn't gained in 10 months or so. How is your blessing from God doing? I would like to make a baby tree for Aaliyah to see all of her potential friends in the future. Could you please reply with your baby's whole name, birthday, and parent's names? Once I complete it, I will share it with you.
#5 ESSENTIAL BABY STUFF - My aunt (Katrinka) and I are working on some great stuff that I want to share a little bit with you. She does embroidery, so if you have any embroidery needs, let me know. Also, she makes wonderful children's clothing, along with burp cloths, blankets, etc. We also have some other items to be developed. It is something that I am about to start with her, and we will be called Kats' Kreations.
#6 FINALLY - We have about 20 babies in this "NuMoms Network", so it is a great thing to share what you experience with the group just in case someone else is going through the same thing. With that said, if any of you have any thumb sucking remedies, please share them with me. To blow your mind, Princess Liyah likes Jalapenos. I know I know. Future did it, and I had to go with him down this road. Well, she loves them now.
