Born: 2/28/2012 @ 2:17 pm – 7 lbs 6 oz; 19.5 inches long

Good thing this kid is getting pants for Christmas! He’s outgrown all his pants and insisted on going to the store with me in his shorts. Sometimes they hike up a bit when he sits lol.

Keeping Up With M.O.M. is giving away one of these VERY cool ROCKBOARD SCOOTERS to one lucky reader (up to $200 value). Enter below to win an awesome Christmas gift for your kid or teen this year. Winner will choose from two different sizes, the Original (ages 8+, holds up to 200 lbs and costs $199.99), or the Mini (ages 5+, holds up to 90 lbs and costs $159.99).

My daughter received her mini scooter a couple weeks ago. I was a little unsure if she would be able to get the balance down quickly since she doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet, but she picked it up really fast and had a lot of fun on it. All the cousins want to take a turn on it when they come to visit, too. Maddie is not wearing a helmet in this video btw, because she does not own a working bicycle and we haven’t purchased one yet. Rockboard encourages everyone to wear helmets and the proper safety gear while riding a Rockboard Scooter.

*** I received a free mini Rockboard to review on my blog. I was not compensated for a positive review. All opinions are my own…and Maddie’s. Rockboard encourages everyone to wear helmets and the proper safety gear while riding a Rockboard Scooter.

The other night I was laying on the couch not feeling too hot and I heard Maddie’s lil 3y/o cousin, Kingston say, “Maddie put pee on my shirt.” I remember thinking, “WHAT is that kid talking about? Maddie would never do that.” However, I didn’t care to get up off the couch to check his facts. Later I saw him walking around with a black “P” written on his shirt in marker. I realized what he meant by “Maddie put pee on my shirt” and asked Maddie why she did that and she said, “He said he wanted to be a princess. P is for princess.” …  Oh of course how silly of me. Perfect logic, once again…

Well people, I have been taking Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic for a little under 2 weeks now and I don’t actually know if it’s possible but I honestly felt like I was already more regular after just 3 days of taking it. So I can pretty much say that I have noticed a difference in my digestive system. When I started using it I noticed that on the back of the foil containers it had the days of the week on it to help you remember which days you have taken it, which is really helpful because I take my prenatal vitamin at the same time and it helps me keep track of that as well. The size of the pill is also the exact same size and shape of my prenatal and is a pleasant size to have to take. I don’t remember if some prenatal vitamins are large or not, it’s been so long since I have had to take them, but these pills a narrow and not hard to take at all. I normally have kind of a problem with taking pills and gagging, but these are just fine. If you think you would benefit from taking a probiotic give Member’s Mark a try. You can purchase a 3 month supply at Sam’s Club for $28.88. Not too shabby

Maddie, Noah and Grandma Gigi! Love this picture! Love Maddie’s chin

Catching a wave with my lil sis…we’re practically twins, I know

A couple weeks ago I was at my friends house learning about essential oils and what not and she had this hand scanner that could tell you how your body was out of balance. It was pretty cool actually. Then the report tells you what will help get you back in balance, basically. Anyway the product it said would fix my most out of balance area was a probiotic. I didn’t really know what that was. After I found out what it did for a person then it made perfect sense as to why I needed it. I haven’t really had many issues before recently with bowels and such, but since I have been pregnant….let’s just say I have the opposite of “morning sickness”. So I just received a supply of Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic, which is sold at Sam’s Club, and I am going to try that for a couple weeks and see how it helps me. Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic says it helps maintain a healthy digestive system. So I will let you know how it works
