My son was so easy to transition from formula and a bottle. One day I put milk in his bottle and he acted like he didn’t even notice. The next week I put it in a sippy cup and again, he acted like he didn’t notice. I was shocked because so many people had warned me of the ordeal that was transitioning from bottle to sippy cup and from formula or breast milk to milk. Going through it again now with Sophie is completely different. She yells and crys until she gets her bottle every night. She will not go to sleep unless she gets it and she refuses to drink it if it’s regular milk. She has been a lot tougher to break of these habits. She does great with a sippy, but when it comes for bedtime, she wants that bottle.
Things That Change After Your Baby Turns One
My baby girl celebrated her first birthday 2 weeks ago. I still can’t believe she is a year old. It went by all too fast. What has been really weird, though is how much she has changed over the last couple of weeks. It’s like she knew she was no longer a “baby” and should start acting older.
Things That Happen Once Your Baby Turns One:
She started talking! She has been repeating things back to me like “thank you” and “okay.” It literally happened one day and she hasn’t stopped talking!
She is walking all over the place. She still stumbles a little but while she was taking steps before her birthday, she seemed to really take off a couple of days after.
She is totally content playing by herself.
She carries her baby doll with her every where.
She is eating so much more food. Maybe it’s all the walking, but she seems to be a bottomless pit lately.
Two things that haven’t changed?
Huggies Little Snugglers and Natural Care Wipes. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, these wipes are the best. Hands down. I’ve tried several, and I will not buy another brand. We also love using Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers for our daughter. They fit her so well and the softer ouster cover and wetness indicator keeps her comfortable and me warned in plenty of time when she needs to be changed.

We’ve all been in sticky situations where we were out running errands and our baby has a blowout and we realize we have no extra outfit with us or worse – we are out of diapers. I’ve been there more than once. In fact, on our way home from Jacksonville a few weeks ago, Sophie had been crying and crying and I thought she was just fighting sleep because I had JUST changed her diaper. It couldn’t be that. Right? Wrong. She had a blowout and it was all over her outfit and her car seat. I had nothing with me to clean it up with so we had to make a stop at the next exit and stop at a gas station to clean it up the best we could. I felt so bad that I had ignored her screaming and played it off on something else.
How To Protect Your Baby From The Sun + Double Stroller Drama
This car seat cover is so awesome! It fits easily over her car seat and covers her really well. It can also be worn as a nursing cover which I LOVE! Just throw it on as a scarf and you’re ready to go! It is so cute and comes in several colors and patterns. I snagged the gray because it will so with pretty much anything!
How do you protect your baby from the sun? Could you recommend a great double stroller?

Sophie-Rae has been spitting up a lot lately. I forgot how many burp cloths newborns go through in a day. I have been so thankful that we bought several this time around. It keeps me from doing a load of laundry every day. These monogrammed burp cloths from Baby Cheeks Boutique have been my absolute favorite! They are so adorable and have been my favorite to take to church and when we are out and about. They are so cute and I am a sucker for all things monogrammed (hello, I’m southern). Baby Cheeks Boutique is one of my favorite shops for all things baby. They have burp cloths, bibs, frames, back packs, bloomers and so much more! This shop is so affordable and great for baby shower gifts!
I’m especially loving this Florida Gator burp cloth and bib set! I just might be ordering that for football season! Check out this wonderful shop on Etsy!
