All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth (and then some)

My little guy is a little late to the teething game. He starting popping his first tooth just a day before his first birthday. But now we are playing catch up and he is popping teeth like I pop sour patch kids at the movie theater. Thankfully, NUBY launched a new range of teethers on Amazon just in time for Aiden to test his new chompers on.

Aiden's favorite teether of the three is the Fruity Chew. We got the Orange and since my son loves all things fruit he "Mmmmms" as he chews on this teether. The handle makes it easy to grasp and it is great for him to chew on. I have even put this in the fridge to let it chill before giving him and he loves to chomp on it.

His next favorite is the Spin N Teether because it is not only is a teether, it's entertainment while he chews. He has tested out all the chewing surfaces of this toy and the chewy edges are perfect for him to bite. I love how there are multiple chewing surfaces for his ever changing gums.

Lastly, there's the Farm Animals Soothe-a-Loop. This one is his least favorite of the three, but he still enjoys it more due to the animals on it than the actual teething surfaces. I do feel like this one is the easiest to keep tabs on due to it's size. We took this with us on a long car trip and Aiden was able to hold it and keep track of it himself throughout our trip.

If you are looking for a new teether for your little one to try or you are looking for a little something extra for your little one's stocking the links to the teethers I mentioned are below:

Tales from the changing table

Ever since Aiden was a teeny, tiny newborn he has loved his changing table. It is what my husband and I lovingly refer to as his "happy place." He is a pretty content little man, but if he is ever upset, a quick trip to his changing table will fix that.

It was probably his changing table where we first saw him smile and I know it is where we first heard him laugh. It is the place that he makes the most noise and even if he is on the verge of falling asleep, he becomes wide eyed and bushy tailed as soon as we lay him down to change him. For some reason this kid just loves his changing table...and being naked.

Teething is upon us (dun dun duh) which can make for a fussy baby. Aiden's changing table along with some amazing teething toys have helped make this process easier on us as new parents. There are so many different teething toys out there that it's hard to know which ones to invest in. I've seen teething toys that resemble fake food like hot dogs and cheeseburgers (Ew), teething toys that look like a dog's chew toy (no thank you) and honestly I just want teething toys that work and help my little guy feel better. So I decided to try the Nuby 3 Stage Teether Set.

Right now Aiden doesn't have any teeth that have cut through and the doctor said he could be teething until he is 9 months old before ever even cutting a tooth...oh joy! This Nuby teething set comes with three different teethers and all natural teether wipes. Each of the teethers targets a different area of your baby's mouth. The stage 1 teether is amazing and targets the front of the mouth where the first teeth come in and is designed to massage a baby's delicate gums. It is also very easy for tiny baby hands to grip!

I have tried several other teethers and Aiden's favorites are Sophie the Giraffe and the MAM Mini Cooler from Target. This Nuby set is becoming a quick favorite as well. I love that each teether included in this set has a specific purpose to help out those poor teething babes because let's be real...teething is not fun for anyone involved. So the motto of this post is: find your baby's "happy place" and a good teether and just keep them in said happy place with that toy until teething is officially over.  It sounds good in theory, right?

Does your baby have a "happy place?"

What are some of your favorite teething toys?
