Brayden seriously can not work a spoon. He tries to dip it then, flips the spoon over on the way to his mouth. He does better with a fork but still eventually gives up. He also refuses to wear a bib anymore so..... dinner time is fun time. Tonight we had lasagna. Oi. Cute, funny, MESSY. Also, he is wearing Calvin Klein little boy undies in these pictures. He kept ripping his diaper off every time he peed and brought me undies so he is wearing them. Adorable but probably a bad idea. Haha.
The Ultimate Green Store is an amazing website with a TON of green items on it. As most of you know we cloth diaper and I have also made many home made cleaning products. This amazing online store has organic baby clothes, office supplies, decor, teen/dorm stuff, kitchen stuff, seriously anything you can think of! They are giving one of my amazing readers $20 to spend in their store!
The Ultimate Green Store sent me a BumGenius One Size diaper in "Moonbeam". I have heard great things about BumGenius diapers but never pushed myself to get one. They were formally only velcro which I dislike. I was really excited to see they have snaps now! This diaper have many positives. It's an AIO so the inserts are attached, super absorbent and fits great around the legs. The tabs also stretch! You can get yours for $24.95! This diaper fits Brayden perfectly! It also held up pretty well. Brayden is a heavy wetter and I normally double insert when I stuff diapers.
Brayden totally posed so you can see the diaper!

We got the famous SodaStream to review! My husband was especially excited about it. He has been talking about wanting one for long time!
We got the SodaStream Fountain Jet which is the basic model. It's cost is around $79.95. A great deal to get is the Fountain Jet Soda Starter Kit at $99.95. It comes with 3 soda mixes of your choosing and a sample pack of flavors!
You can not only make soda but also flavored waters, sparkling tea, energy drinks and seltzers. They have SO MANY drink options! We are definitely going to buy more bottles so we can have more than one flavor of drink at a time. The fruity ones sound amazing to me although I don't normally like carbonated fruit drinks.
When we made our first soda we did it all wrong, for real, and it was not very tasty so I looked it up online. I read many of the questions and answers on Soda Stream's FAQ. They really helped us. I also read in another review that you do NOT hold the button down. You press/pump and let go till it buzzes the right amount of times. It takes multiple presses to get a buzz. Then, of course, our cola flavor came out PERFECTLY! It was perfectly carbonated.
I can't wait to try more flavors. I am going to order the Fountain Mist (Mt. Dew) and Dr. Pete (Dr. Pepper) ones when I order more bottles. I absolutely recommend buying a Fountain Jet or even one of the amazing upgraded machines!
Rj's "cola". :)

Rj, Brayden and I went to Jax today to the mall. We were in Jax ALL day. It was exhausting but fun. :) Brayden hates hats and while we were in Spencer's I put a Yo Gabba Gabba hat on him. He KEPT it on. It was too expensive though. $25.. Heck no. So I saw another hat on sale and originally marked at $16. Then, I found out that if you bought two the second was 50% off. The two hats were already 25% and 50% off anyways. :) They are adult hats but they fit his head perfectly. They are perfectly loose but don't move at all. He is SO cute in them. I only took pictures of one. The other is a hippo hat. I'm sure I will get pictures of him in the hippo one soon.

I have tried to do this review already but unfortunately Brayden will just not keep the costume on. It's SO cute though. I really hope he will wear in October. Rj loves Star Wars so he was all over getting a Star Wars costume for Brayden. For those who don't know very much about Star Wars then, definitely read more about Star Wars here. There is an amazing website for Star Wars fans to get costumes from called Wholesale Star Wars Halloween Costumes. They have SO MANY great costumes! They have adults, kids, baby and even pets costumes!
This is the toddler Yoda costume we got! I love it. It's soft, well made and absolutely precious. It's on sale right now for $17 too! Great deal! This is their stock photo. I really wish I had a picture of Brayden in it. :/ Please, stop by their shop to buy an awesome Star Wars costume for a member of your family!

This month he honestly didn't change very much. I just read his last update and all of the things still apply. We got him a new pool and he loves it. He still doesn't like water in his face. The only real change this month is he has had 3 molars cut through. It's TOTALLY messed up his sleep. He skips naps, randomly falls asleep at 6pm, wakes up in the middle of the night and we have to put them in our bed. It's frustrating but what can you do? "Apple" and "ball" are the only new words that come to mind that he's said this month. He also motions what he wants. He has been climbing on everything. He stands on the couch arms and leans REALLY far to pull things off our shelf. He is going to give a panic attack one day. I'll just let the pictures do the talking for this post. They are some of my favorites of him ever.
