Get ready to fall in love with MJ, our charming 6-month-old Bean of the Month!✨
Born into a family that beautifully embodies the richness of cultural diversity, MJ is already on a path to developing a strong sense of empathy and cultural awareness. As he explores his identity, he's surrounded by a vibrant tapestry of traditions and experiences.💗
Let's peek into his world and uncover some delightful family moments, paired with helpful parenting tips to make your journey with your little one even more special.
TWB:What is your baby's name and age?
@joshleigh_channel: Our baby name is Matthew Jeremiah or MJ for short, 6 months old.
TWB: Where are you from, and can you tell us a little bit more about your family?
@joshleigh_channel: We are a family of 3, currently living in Southern California. When our son was born, he was in the NICU for two weeks. He has come a long way since then and has passed so many milestones. My wife and I come from different cultural backgrounds so we are doing our best to immerse our son in everything in the hopes he will grow up knowing, understanding, and being proud of his identity.
TWB: What is your favourite product from The Wee Bean and why?
@joshleigh_channel:We love both the Minky fleece blanket as well as the Bamboo blend swaddle! The bamboo blend is nice for peekaboos and swaddling on a hot day. Our son loves the minky fleece blanket because of how soft it is. He tends to gravitate toward the boba design.🥰

TWB: What are your must-have items that you would recommend for first-time moms?
@joshleigh_channel:Diaper rash spray and a really good nose sucker. Both items have been such a life saver for us!!
TWB: What is your favourite activity with your baby?
@joshleigh_channel: We love to go anywhere; adventures and memories can happen in small and large ways. MJ loves nature so much, so no matter where we go, as long as there is nature he is happy. We happen to be avid Disney goers and are big foodies so MJ has quickly fallen in love with Mickey Mouse and food. He loves food so much that we’ve learned NOT to take food back from him or he will make sure to let you know just how he feels about it.
TWB: What are the most baby-friendly places to go in your city?
@joshleigh_channel: There are a lot of things to do around our city. It’s why we love it here so much. So far though, Disneyland has been the most baby friendly, at least for his current age. Some of the things we are incredibly excited for him to experience as he’s growing are the Discovery Cube, Cali Science Center, and the many different Museums in the area.

TWB: After a long day, what’s your favourite way to unwind?
@joshleigh_channel: We love to hangout at home with our two dogs and just do a family cuddle session, read a good book and/or listen to music.
TWB: What's your best tip/advice on motherhood?
@joshleigh_channel:Motherhood is different for everyone. Do what is best for you and your child. Never discount yourself and don’t forget to practice self care.💗

But let’s be honest—going green can sometimes feel overwhelming. The good news? You don’t need to make huge changes overnight. Small, simple steps can add up to a big impact over time.
