I’ve used an electronic toothbrush for a long time now, but I felt like it was time for a new one. I'm the first to admit that teeth brushing is not my favorite thing, so having an electronic toothbrush is a must for me! I love that it tells me how much time has passed while I’m brushing my teeth and it has multiple settings like whitening and gum massage. We even joke that when it’s time for Fischer to brush his teeth, Adam will be the one to show him how it’s done since it’s a “better” teeth brusher haha. I partnered with Smile Brilliant to try out this CariPRO toothbrush and so far I love it!! Of course I care about how things look (I mean, who doesn’t?!), and I love that it’s grey and even the charging station is grey and compact. If you’re in the market for a new toothbrush, I’d suggest checking this one out!

Coordinating Outfits For Large Family Photos
When we were in Kauai with Adam’s family in November we decided to do family photos of the whole crew. Obviously it can be challenging trying to figure out what 7 people are going to wear (plus Jenae’s boyfriend, Ryan’s best friend, and their family friends).

Travel tips with a baby, Do's & Don'ts, and more!
We took our second big trip of the year to Kauai in November with Fischer, which was his second flight! This flight was almost 6 hours (compared to 1.5 hour flights over summer), so it was a little harder. It was more challenging because he’s older which means he sleeps less and is more aware of his surroundings. On our way to Kauai, a worker from the airlines asked us if we wanted to change seats so we could have a whole row to ourselves. (THANK YOU TO THAT LADY!) It was great, because it gave us room to spread out and let Fischer nap and we also brought his Dockatot solely for the flight and we put it between us for him to sit in. On the way back home, I went up the desk and asked if there was a full row available and there was! So that’s my biggest TIP for flying, asking for a whole row! Fischer took 1 long nap both there and back and the rest of the time we tried to entertain him with his favorite toys.

9 Month Item Update For Fischer
It’s been so fun to see Fischer really change and grow into a big boy these last few months. He learned to crawl while we were in Kauai in November and two teeth came in! He’s crawling everywhere now (baby gates are in our future), pulling himself up to stand, and just overall more interactive. He’s also eating a lot more food then he was just a month ago and super interested in it. Here are some things that we’ve found useful or fun at this stage:
