Six Month Favorites

Mesh feeder//Play Learn Pup// Shea Baby Wash// Blacks

Mocks// Stroller//Diaper Genie

1. We have reached the "start" of teething and I know that a sharp pearly white will make itself known soon. These mesh feeders have been great to put frozen fruit or ice cubes in and to give Griffin. It is a wet, sticky, slobbery mess but it sure gives him some relief. 

 

2. The play and learn puppy has been a favorite for the past two months. At six months, I believe Griffin is playing with it more and it is a great toy to grow with him in the months to come. 

3. Shea baby wash. Also known as the miracle for my little's dry skin. He gets his sensitive and dry skin from him Mama and Dada and this really helps smooth out his skin. The smell is amazing. They have other products in there line that you can check out too. 

4. These squeeze and stack blocks are great toys to engage in learning and play.  They are great for developing his fine motor skills and the pop of color is an added bonus. All the blocks can fit easily into their box and we love them for on the go to grandparents' homes. This is another great toy that will grow with your child. 

5.  My favorite of favorites. I found Hello Moccs on Instagram and noticed she always posted flash sales for 50% off Moccs.  I had bought a pair of Moccs from another vendor and was not please on how tight the leather was and it was difficult to put on Griffin's foot. With the flash sales at a Hello Moccs I figured I didn't have much to lose. I love them. The maker is a one woman shop and makes such good quality Moccs.  The leather is soft and I can easily put them on the boy.   My favorite pair is the camo but she has all sorts of styles for your boy or girl. 

 

6.  I love our City Mini Stroller.  When I was on maternity leave I would walk in the morning and I loved how smooth the stroller was.  Griffin now is able to sit up in the stroller without the use of his car seat and car seat adapters and I am falling in love with it all over again.  I love the all black, and it is super easy  to get in and out of the car.  The larger tires are nice when we go "off roadin'" and it still provides Griff with a smooth ride.

 

7. If you don't have a diaper genie, run to the store now!  Especially if your little has started eating solids.  It hides the odor and holds A Ton of diapers!  It is small and compact enough to hide in the corner of any nursery and if it is seen it isn't an eye sore.

Five Month Favorites

 

 

As a new Mama, I am always looking to see what Griff might like or need in the months ahead.  Since my little is already 5 months old, I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorites this month.

 

 

 

 

1.Elephant Lovie / 2. Boon Flar Highchair / 3. Gerber's Rice Cereal / 4.Elephant Teether

 

             5. Aden + Anais Blankets / 6. Feel and Learn Book / 7.Exersaucer 

 

 

Elephant Lovie-  Let's be honest.  This is HIS favorite!! Griffin can be a Mr. Grumpy Gills at night and if I lay this over his cheek, he is back to his happy self.  This is a life saver for long car rides or if we are out to eat, he has something to snuggle with.  Added bonus is that his lovie is an elephant, because we know Mama loves her elephants. 

 

Boon Flar Highchair-  Since Griffin started eating Rice Cereal, I wanted him to get use to eating at the table with us at dinner time.  After researching highchairs, I knew I wanted to go with the Boon.  My number one favorite is that there are no cracks and no crevices. I don’t have to worry about every little crumb falling in the cracks and making it hard to keep clean or for it to even look clean.  I love the sleek look and the changeable cushion (in different colors) that can be thrown in the wash.  It adjusts easily for a growing baby and lifts to the exact height I need to fit our kitchen table.  The boy loves it!

 

Gerber Rice Cereal-   A new food was added to Griff’s formula at 4 months.  It basically took him a whole month to really love it.  Now, if I don’t feed it fast enough, he has learned to hit the top of his highchair.  I think teaching him the sign for more is in his near future.  This is a definite favorite of my big boys.

Elephant Teether-   Of course, another elephant and is known as Peanut in our house.  I swear he has been teething since he was 2 months old.  We’ve got the drool and the red gums, but just waiting on those teeth to push through.  Peanut is a life saver and Griff loves to chew on his ears.  It’s soft, flexible, and easy for him to grab with his tiny hands.  It is great small on the go toy too.  We like the price of it as well because I don’t believe in spending $34 on a Sophie Giraffe.

Aden + Anais Blankets-  If you dont have at least one of these blankets, hit the door runing and get you some.  These breathable muslin blankets are amazing.  We use these blankets to swaddle, for carseat covers, for tummy time, and for burp cloths.  All the ingredients to make a baby burrito is always a plus. Since the boy likes to cover his face at night, I dont worry about these breathable blankets being by his side.  Very versitle and we fell in love with these.

Feel and Learn Book- I love how the book is filled with different materials for my little to explore.  Every page inclues tactile features with crinkles sounds and two teethers at the end. 

Exersaucer- We love the safari theme because it has a cute little elephant head that makes noises.  It has several developmental toys to help with his fine motor skills too.  The rattler and teether are bonuses.  His feet aren't able to touch the floor just yet, but a pillow underneath seems to be doing the trick.

 

I call these our five month favorites, but seriously some have been favorites from day one...aden +anais!
