I threw a couple of my favorite products in too!

She loved the little black and white dots
on the wheels when she was super little and now she watches the whole thing!
The one pictured is the one we have but there is a new design on the market.
These are an absolute staple in any baby's
wardrobe. They're soft and comfy cozy! Matt has a hard time with tops that go
over her head and these are perfect for when they are alone. They are good for
both bedtime and going out and about. I usually pair a headband with one when
we go out! These are so much more practical than other articles of clothing
because they are no-fuss-- nothing to keep rearranging/fixing.
Santa brought Claire a Cheetah wrap for Christmas. It's
furry and luxurious! They are so much thicker than the ones you buy at the big
box store, which means baby stays dry and warm. Bath wraps are worth the
splurge and I'll be ordering more in the future.
I held this lullaby seahorse to my stomach
every night before bed and when Claire was born it would soothe her. The nurses
at the hospital were shocked when she stopped crying when I played it. She
still enjoys listening to it and stares at the glowing belly when we turn it on
for her.
Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss? This book is
from the Nursery Collection and features pull tabs and exciting and bright
illustrations. It has a good moral to the story too! Claire loves the rhyming.
I started setting Claire in this a little
earlier than recommended but she has had great neck control since day one. I
would set her in for just a minute or two, keeping my hands close to her head
in case she got tired from holding it up. She sits in it for longer periods but
only when I am sitting directly beside her.
WOW! This toy is so silly! It's soft like
the Sophie but the squeak is much more shrill. Claire thinks it's funny so we
keep it around the house for her... Matt on the other hand, hates it!
Claire got this for Christmas and it is my saving grace! She
will lay on this for over an hour sometimes. I fully contribute her new found
reaching ability to this toy. It features a mirror that looks down on baby and
lots of toys to keep baby busy and entertained. Not to mention the keyboard at
their toes! Perfect for babies with busy feet!
Claire just recently started liking her Sophie. While most
of her other toys are still a little too heavy, this one light enough for her
to pick up and play with. She hasn't figured out how to make it squeak, and
that's okay with momma and daddy!
Another piece of equipment that I started using sooner than recommended.
But it really helped her with her neck and back muscles. She isn't a fan of
tummy time so I put her in this and put some small hand towels around her to
support her. Once again, we started out in really small time intervals and have
made our way to not having anything in the seat but Claire. She love the lights
and the music.
Same as the other book- silly with bright colors. This one
is more of a tongue twister which will help your child when he/she starts to
read. There are some interesting touchy/feely tabs along the side of the book
that correlate with the story.

We have this for her carseat when it's dark
out. She likes to watch it blink :)
Ohh how she loves this set! The big
"diamond" ring is her favorite and is our go to toy in the car when
she's upset. It's really reflective/shiny and makes loads of rattling noises!
These make diaper changes a breeze, and they’re
adorable too! Pair with a onsie and you're good to go! If it's cold, throw on a
pair of socks!
Another item Santa brought for Christmas!
This is my far one of my favorite items of all! It's so incredibly soft on one
side and fuzzy, furry on the other! We use this all the time for photo shoots,
cuddle time, and nap time.
We have used these since Claire was a
couple days old and we love them! She is currently only wearing them during the
day as they are getting too small and don't provide the leak protection we need
for nighttime.
This is our nighttime diaper and soon to be
full time diaper. We love these because they're pocket diaper which means you
add as much absorbency as your baby needs. During the day, perhaps one insert
will suffice, if not add another! These are great too because they dry much
quicker than all-in-one diapers.
