Pop Goes Lullaby 4 Review - Soothe the savage beast!!!
Do you know what a 3 month old is like when they are sleepy but don't want to sleep? They can quite easily be described as Savage Beasts. Oh sure, they pretend to be all cute and cuddly. They are just trying to lull you into a false sense of security. As soon as you think it's safe and they're gonna sleep, they start screaming like banshees.
Well I confused this one and won the battle. What was my tactic you ask? Aha... She went to scream and I beat her to it. She did not seem amused by my screaming but then again I am never amused by hers. While she is quiet and confused is when I enact the second portion of this devious plan...soft music.
She got lucky this go round as we had some new music to test and review. It was Pop Goes Lullaby 4 by Jammy Jams. It seemed to keep her calm but not lull her to sleep. I figure she is just a tad difficult though. I'm sure you are wondering where do I find it, what is it, how much does it cost? Well I will answer all these questions after we get some basic information from the manufacturer.
Here is what they have to say:
Who’s got the coolest kid in the nursery? YOU do! Because you play your baby “Pop Goes Lullaby 4” to rock them to sleep every night.

This album is available in the Jammy Jams Store (www.jammyjams.net) as well as iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and many other retailers.
One of my personal favorites is the lullaby rendition of All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. Baby A seemed to enjoy it as well. It had the ability to keep her super calm. I was hoping it would put her to sleep but I had no such luck with this collection of songs. This company actually offers a variety of mommy and daddy friendly lullaby instrumentals. Baby A and I ventured to a different CD. It eased her from calm to sleep without any Savage Beast antics.
Now let's answer those questions you asked.
- Where do I find it?
- It can be found online at http://www.jammyjams.net/music/pop/jj-017/
- In the iTunes Store
- On Spotify
- What is it?
- A collection of songs that have been rendered as lullabies.
- Soothing instrumental versions of popular songs
- How much does it cost?
- The price depends on which format you choose. Prices range from under $10 to just about $15.
All in All for Baby A, I would give it a 4 out of 5. She liked it but didn't sleep to it.
There is one on their website that received a 5 out of 5 from us. We couldn't just listen to one set of lullabies. The one Baby A liked most was Once Upon A Rhyme 2. There are lots of other options. So if this doesn't fit, keep listening and you will.
We want to thank Tomoson and Jammy Jams for allowing us to review and test this CD of lullabies.

I love the that they love each other so much.

Off the spoon for Baby A
So Baby A is an exclusively breastfed baby. She has recently been showing signs of being ready for baby food so we gave it a try. We started with oatmeal mixed with breastmilk. We tried with water first. She did not approve of that at all. She ate it up when we mixed it with the breastmilk.
As you can see, this was an impromptu feeding and all we had were plastic spoons. We went and bought infant spoons the very next day. She eats oatmeal at least once a day now. We have also started adding some banana or applesauce to it. She absolutely loves that. Applesauce is her favorite.
She is a happy chunky faced baby. It was apparently good to the last bit. She ate it off her fingers.
The cues we noticed as far as her being ready for baby food were as follows:
-tracking other people's food
-making chewing motions with her mouth
-trying to feed herself your food

Welcome 2015
Hey y'all. Happy new year.
I know we've been in 2015 for 10 days, now. I'm finally getting a chance to get back to you all. Let's recap the last 10 or so days. New Year's Day was lackluster at best. We did the usual sit, eat, and watch television. Boring, I know. After that, we have made vegan cupcakes, enchiladas, and gumbo just to name a few things. Aside from all the cooking, z started back to school on Tuesday. Yay!!! Mommy's free during the days again. I'm preparing to start a healthier lifestyle so I have more energy and shed some unwanted pounds. I've also received lots of products to review during this change. I will tell you about them as I try them. I've also received a few cool items for giveaways. So stay tuned for those. That kinda sums up what's been going on around here.
