TotsBots EasyFit OneSize Snaps

 We all (should) know that my favorite diaper is the Totsbots easyfits. I was very excited about them coming out with new prints and minky inside but was very hesitant about wanting to even consider using their new snap diapers. I was really afraid they would just be way to small on my older son who is diapered. However I was getting pretty desperate at getting my hands on their new prints so I decided to give one a try. Here is a stock photo of one of the snap diaper. As you can see the tabs are shorter than their aplix diapers. This is supposed to allow for new babies to wear the diaper with out having to need cross over snaps.

 So here is the super cute Three Little Pigs print. (its way brighter in person). It has the three rows of rise snaps and the double row of snaps across the waist. Sorry my picture is kind of crappy. :)


 I decided to compare the waists of the snaps (left) and the aplix (right). They look very similar in size when they are both closed up as tight as they will go.

 So the ultimate test is on my 2 year old who is around 30-32 pounds. These diapers weight range go up to 35+ pounds. We still use it on the middle rise setting and have no issues with that. For the waist snaps we have 3 sets of snaps open. We did get a good fit on Zeke with the diaper with some room to grow. If your child has really big hips they would probably not fit in to this diaper very long.
 Booty shot! Nice fit!
 I love how trim this diaper is. There is less bulk on the from with snaps than aplix (at least I think there is) and the back side is super trim as well!

 The second big test was on my newborn Micah. I waited until his cord fell off before trying it out on him. The rise is set to the smallest rise and the waist snaps are closed all the way
as you can see the diaper is not to overwhelming and huge on him, it has a nice fit.
there is a little bit of a puff on his bottom but by the time you get clothes on him its not really noticeable. The fit around his skinny legs was great as well.

And another angle of the diaper on him.

*UPDATE*
Micah is now 6months old and around 18 pounds. We still use these diapers on him and they work great, the rise is now on the middle setting for him and the waist is open just a little bit more. I think the snap option of the diaper would be best for skinner babies/toddlers. My 2 1/2 year old also still fits into these with the rise all the way open and about 4 of the waist snaps open. He still fits great into this diaper at around 35 pounds.

The Sili Squeeze!


The Sili Squeeze is made out of silicone which is BPA-PVC and Phthalate free. It comes with four pieces that assembly together to create a reusable food pouch for your little one to eat from. 
I received the 4 ounce Sili Squeeze with a spill proof nipple as well as a Squeeze with Ease spout.


The pieces are the pouch, the ring which attaches to the nipple/seal and the lid to help prevent leaks when not in use. 


Here it is! 


The lid has a knob in the middle top of it which fits right into the nipple which blocks it from leaking when your little one isn't using it 



The nipple is attached permanently to the seal which screws onto the ring at the mouth of the pouch. I was nervous about not being able to get it completely clean but we have not had any issues.  


The ring has a divot that lines up to the matching spot on the pouch. 


Ta-da! 
(I didn't realize that it had this until I tried to use it once and it kept leaking! Go me!)


The nipple/seal combo screw right on similar to a bottle or sippy cup. It seems tight the first few times that you use it but that is to ensure that it won't leak after continued use. 


This is where we ran into a small issue. While we were trying to tighten the nipple/seal to the ring, the pouch would twist and make the divot not line up. Once you figure out how to hold the ring and pouch together, you can make sure that it doesn't spin. It will also get easier to put the nipple on after a few uses. They make it tight so that you won't have leaking as you use it more often.


Kynlie loves to squeeze it. I love that it doesn't squirt all over!


She kept trying to figure out how it didn't spill out when she would shake it. She loves to make a mess with our "spill proof" cups. We put juice in here too and it never spilled.


Sili Squeeze it great for babies of all ages. My 3 year old and 5 year old each were so happy when they got a turn to use it as well. Their favorite was homemade applesauce that they got to bring in the van!


Sili Squeeze is amazing for purees, sauces, fruits or veggies. We even put homemade pudding in it a few times and it worked great.


They are great for on the go, at home, for a snack or a meal. It helps to build your little ones independence and self feeding.


She gets so excited when I put a treat in her Sili Squeeze! Kynlie's favorites are yogurt and "smoothies".
You can find all sorts of recipes here to use with your Sili Squeeze..


To fill it, we use a couple of different techniques. We used a basic spoon to fill it but that was time consuming although worked well with not any spilling. We also used a basic food funnel. Depending on what type of puree or food you are putting in, this may not work. It really depends on the thickness and consistency. Pudding did not work with the funnel. 


Sili Squeeze come in two sizes (4oz and 6oz) and there are a variety of colors to choose from. You can also choose to get the Squeeze with Ease which has an open end on the nipple so that older kids can enjoy them as well. 


Overall, we loved the Sili Squeeze. The kids still fight over who gets to have a turn with it. Although it was tricky to figure out at first how to get it to not leak and to get to the point where the nipple would screw on easier, we still love it. I love that fact that you can reuse it and make your own foods to put in it.

Paintchip Contractions

I saw this great idea to help teach children contractions (not labor ones) ;-) (Example: Can't, Won't, Don't, etc...)

Take a paintchip (free at your local hardware store, and found in GLORIOUS colors!) I was so excited about this project, that I forgot to take a picture of one before cutting it!

So, pre-cut, it would look sort of like this:

I guess you don't HAVE to cut the sides off, but, I wanted all extra words/letters/numbers (that might distract/confuse), gone.

Then, write your words.

In the first box, your first word, second box, your second word, leave the third open, and your 'contraction' in the fourth.

Accordion fold the last box:

So it'll fold over like this:

And then you can see your contraction:

Here are all the ones I made. I only scratched the surface of contractions for my budding reader!
