First, OMG, I have a six month old! Tune in tomorrow for a full recap until then these are just a few of our favorite things.
Skip Hop Play Mat | We still use this — a lot. I like to place Emerson on her play mat for independent play in the morning. She lasts about 15-20 minutes most days, but sometimes she wants nothing to do with it.
Lulujo Baby Mini Muslins Cloths {c/o} | I raved about Lulujo Baby a few months back and we’re using them daily. I keep a mini muslin cloth in my purse and diaper bag at all times. Girlfriend even thinks they’re a toy and likes playing with them.
Halo SleepSack {c/o} | Emerson is still using her Halo SleepSack everyday — even for naps. I think it’s comforting to her. It’s as though she knows it’s bedtime when I put it on her.
Lamaze Baby Toy, Muffin the Moose | Stuffed animal meets baby toy. Emerson loves her moose. At this point she mainly chews on it.
BOB Stroller | We’re not running yet, but long walks and hills. Emerson loves the stroller and typically falls asleep before we make it home. The BOB is big so I haven’t traveled with it yet. Plus, she was really small our first two trips making it easy to just use our Boba Wrap. That wont be the case next time — so, we’ll see how it goes. I should note this is the only stroller we own so basically I’m going to make it work.
Bumbo | We started using the Bumbo right at 3 months and she loved sitting it in while we cooked dinner. Just recently she graduated to the highchair.
Carter’s Embroidered Romper | Summertime and the livin’s easy… We love our rompers. Between Carter’s and GapBaby I can’t help myself.
Vulli Sophie Giraffe | Every baby needs Sophie in their lives. We have the rattler size too. Word to the wise — you want both sizes. The rattler was perfect at 3 months. Like I mentioned above she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth and she love chewing on Sophie.
Ergobaby Performance Collection | We’re still big fans of baby wearing. These days we’ve been mostly using the Ergo. The buckles make it really easy to get on and off. However, our Boba & Happy wraps are much more comfortable.
Philips AVENT Natural Bottle | Back in May miss thing decided she didn’t want to take the bottle anymore. It was so hard the two days a week I was in the office. Well we figured it out. She didn’t like the Dr. Browns bottles anymore. Thank god I only had to try out one bottle! It took a few attempts, but after a week she decided she liked the Philips Avent Natural bottles and hasn’t looked back. She even like’s the Life Factory bottles which I’m very pleased about.
Babyganics Sunscreen SPF 50 | It’s summer so naturally we need sunscreen. This is by far our favorite. Honest was the worst — sooooo greasy.
Fisher-Price Jumperoo | Best $25 I’ve spent on Craigslist. These things can run about $100, but they are seriously worth it. Emerson LOVES the jumperoo. This particular jumperoo turns 360, has 12 interactive toys, various noises and three adjustable heights. I suggest buying used if you can since the weight limit is 25 lbs.
DOHM White Noise Machine | It’s doesn’t matter what you have — you’ll just want a white noise machine. I know a lot of other blogger who have the DOHM and love it. We were in a bind one night and just found static on an old clock radio and it worked! Best part we didn’t have to spend $50. That’s a win in my book. Anyway if you don’t have a old clock radio I would recommend buying this white nose machine.
Alright mamas what are some of your favorite 6-9 month items?
