I didn’tget to write this one last month- what with having to check a gazillion papers,write a 200 question final and clean up a classroom and all. I mean I love myjob, but sometimes it really gets in the way of my blogging. We need to getthat under control.
Anywho- on to the list:Go Baby Go- Crawl Along Drum

Dear lord- is this child obsessed with this toy. He loves topick it up, turn it over, and play with the little daisies on the sides. Itsnaps apart into two side by side drums, so we can take it in the car to keephim occupied...and the best part is it has a volume control so you don’t haveto hear it loud all the time. Thank you, Fisher Price, for that geniusadaptation.Fisher Price Laugh & Learn with Friends Musical Table


We received this as a baby showerpresent- and for awhile we had the legs off and Grayson would play on it. Nowthat we're standing it’s the coolest thing since sliced bread to play on. He lovespressing all of the buttons- over and over and over again- and walking aroundplaying with each of the four things. Right now we like the music option thebest, but as he grows he can learn letters and even Spanish from this littletable. I love a toy that will grow with him, and doesn’t only last us 2 months.Beco Baby Carrier


For the first few months of his life- Grayson was supercontent to hang out in the baby K'tan. Then old chunkers got too big for that,so we had to look for a better carrier option. I was going back and forthbetween this carrier and the Ergo- but ultimately chose this one because of theability for the Bean to face outwards. We have this pattern, the robots, and itis super cute. It is also ridiculously comfortable- I wore Grayson for 5 hoursat the Pittsburgh Marathon and my back didn’t hurt at all. It folds up nice andsmall, so I just toss it in the basket of the stroller and when he decides he’shad enough I stick him in and hes as happy as a clam. It also puts him at theperfect height to help push shopping carts, which is a big thrill. I love, love,love that the baby can be worn on the front, back or hip and face in or out- itjust makes for a very versatile carrier that can be used for a long time.Nuk Learner Latex Spout BPA Free CupNUK Learner Latex Spout BPA Free Cup, 5 Ounce, Colors May Vary

Mr. Picky will only drink from two types of sippy cups andthis is the first one that he would try. The handles make it easy for him topick up, and the cup isn’t too heavy for little hands to hoist up. Plus thehandles make it easy to tote around for Mommas too. He still loves to pull thisaround with him as he crawls around, which I don’t mind because it doesn’t leakall over the place.Nuby 2 Count Super Spout Easy Gripper

This is the other. Once we had it down with the Nuk cup, wetried these out. He took to them really well, besides the fact that he prefersto drink from it upside down. They are a bit heavier and bulkier than the Nukcups, and seem to give more liquid out at once so I would wait until the Beanis 6 + months for these for sure. One thing that thrills me about thisparticular cup is that it fits in the cup holder of the stroller and car seat-unlike the Nuk cups with those pesky handles.Safety 1st Complete Air 65 Convertiable Car Seat

It was getting to darn hard to lug the Bean around in hisinfant seat (Chicco Keyfit 30), the time had come to graduate to a big boyseat. After doing tons of research and trying out a few various car seats inour car/at Babies R Us, we ultimately decided to go with this seat for severalreasons. First was its tall shell- Grayson is tall so he probably would outgrowthe Britax pretty quick (not something I was willing to do with the price tagfor one of those bad boys). Second was its rear facing weight limit of 40pounds, allowing him to rear face longer. Third was its ease to install andwork. It was one of the easiest seats to install with the Latch, and it feltreally solid once it was in. We had looked at the Evenflow Triumph, but for thelife of me I could not loosen the harness with that red lever thing. With theCA65 it was the same system we were used to with the Keyfit- so it worked well.Last was the price- we got ours on sale at Babies R Us for 115 each- which wassomething to consider when we had to buy three separate seats. So far, we lovethis seat. He has plenty of leg room rear facing, with lots of room to grow. Hecan see out the window now, which makes him a happy camper and its really easyto get him in and out of. Hopefully we will continue to love it as much as wedo- since we're in this for a long time!Pampers Extra Protection Nightime Diapers
Pampers Extra Protection Diapers Big PackWithall of this extra water we're drinking because of the heat- someone started towake up when his poor little diaper couldn’t take it anymore at about 2 am. Wetried Huggies Good Nights- but they leaked all over the crib leaving oneunhappy sheet changer. When I saw that Pampers had a Nighttime version, Ibought a small pack and we haven't looked back. Seriously, if your kiddo wakesup in the night needing to be changed you need to get your hands on a nighttime diaper. Eight un-interrupted hours is well worth having to remember to puton the diapers with the sleeping characters of Sesame Street if you ask me.Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Learning Workbench

He's his father’s kid- and lovestools. The current thrill of the day, taking that hammer and beating not onlythe colorful nails and screws on the bench but everything in his littlewrecking ball path. As he gets better with the aim this will probably become abad thing, but for now its just really cute to see him crawl-chase the dog witha hammer.
Thats all for now I think- if you missed months 1-7 be sure to check them out here!
