Product raves
One nice thing about having Jacob is that people seem to want to give him luxury baby bath products. When I say "luxury", I mean "things not available during a Wal-Mart shopping experience." My mom gave Jacob a Burt's Bees Baby Bee sampler pack when he was still in utero. Though all self-respecting girls love Burt's Bees, and I had heard many raves about their diaper ointment, I had never tried it on Isaac. We have been a tried-and-true A&D family for our baby-butt protection needs, but I must say I like this new stuff. Baby Bee Diaper Ointment makes Jacob smell like his butt is a day spa, and works especially well for when my little stealth-pooper does his business in his sleep. If it can keep his burgeoning diaper rash at bay, I will be a convert. And it's on sale at drugstore.com!
Our friend Amy, member of the Professors' Wives Club and recently-made second-time mommy, gave Jacob some California Baby bubble bath as a "welcome to the world" present. Since Jacob is still possessing of his umbilical stump, he is currently banned from bubble baths...but his big brother is not. Isaac is crazy for bubbles, but has not been able to take bubble baths after a harsh run-in with some Mr. Bubble this past summer. Apparently conventional bubble baths irritate his sensitive underwater parts and make him scream in fear of the bath for days afterward. California Baby bubble bath does not, and again smells like a walk through an Aveda salon.
How about you? Does anybody else have any favorite baby indulgences?

We are pretty generic over here, but somebody gave me this creamy baby oil for Christmas that I thought was gross. I put it away and then used it one night and it was actually so great! Bella smelled wonderful and it wasn't greasy at all. I will have to look at the name of it later.
Mrs. Belle -- we are generic-lovers here, too, but we appreciate a good spoiling when we get one. When a GREAT friend lavished Bath and Body Works body wash upon me when Jacob was born, I joked with her that it was the first time in recent memory products had graced my shower that didn't say "Suave". One can covet, though. Oh yes.
