Tangle Teezer

So we've had a bit of trouble with Nati's hair recently. For one we couldn't get the tangles out and that was horrible in itself. He would cry every time he saw the comb. We have great products that make his hair soft and keep the oil in it, etc. Still NOTHING we tried worked well for tangles- even the detangler we bought in every brand imaginable. I got some great product advice but it wasn't until one of my blogging friends (her blog is private or I would post it) recommended the "Tangle Teezer". I LOVE it. I couldn't find them sold in the US so I bought mine from the web site. I have also been told you can buy them on Ebay but I think they are cheaper from the actual "Tangle Teezer" site. Anyway it took a little while to arrive but we had NO crying and we were able to brush through his hair with no problem. The brush is amazing. I was so impressed by it I had to try it out on my hair to see if it really pulled or not. I have long hair and always feel like my brushes pull so I tried it out... and now I want one for myself! I could not feel it as it took out the tangles. I was skeptical at first b/c all the video's I could find on the product showed them using it on people with straight/wavy hair. But it works great for all hair types. So if you are like us and having problems- I recommend this brush! Plus, they come in a ton of colors! We bought the Pearl Blue Tangle Teezer!

Now if we could just figure out how to get the tiny fuzzies out of his hair-- that he gets from when he sleeps in his crib-- we'd be set. The brush doesn't get them out b/c they are so small and move through the bristles as easily as the hair itself does. They don't tangle it they just stick to his hair. So if anyone has ideas for the fuzz- please share!

K's getting a sibling!

Before we moved to our new house we sent in our pre-application for our second adoption!!! On K's (Nati's) gotcha day we sent in our application as a extra special way to celebrate as a family. We were so excited to start our next adoption and figured we had about two years before everything would be finalized (which was about how long it took with Nataga). We had been getting pieces together here and there and found out some news at the end of April. We already have a boy or girl on the way!! As Nati says "Z in tummy" (he calls the baby Z). So we have been working on teaching Nataga that he has a brother or sister on the way! We have called Gladney and put our application on hold. Anyway we wanted to share our exciting news about our biological baby! We've been talking about how much of a rush this is for us as we were expecting a long wait. 9 months seems SO quick compared to an adoption. I'm sure towards the end of everything it won't be, but right now it feels like everything is happening in a blink of an eye.

If you give a boy a hammer

...he'll want to try it out on everything!
What do you do when you have a lively little boy? Give him something to do! We found this for Nati in the bottom of his toy chest and he has been loving it. He is really good at hammering! He is careful to hold the hammer correctly and will be ready to move on to nails and wood soon (j/k about the wood and nails although I do think he could handle it)! The other picture is so cute I couldn't NOT include it! The bear is from his court date. He hardly is without some kind of stuffed toy and his recent favorite is a tiger grandma and grandpa sent him. :)

 

 

I have had a couple people tell me the pictures from the last post are not loading so I thought I would try again! One of the pictures must have had something wrong with it so I'll post these two!
