Four (almost) kids into this thing and I've developed some likes and dislikes about the baby industry. I am getting excited to get up in the attic--or rather, get Mike up in the attic--and dust off the baby boxes and sort through what we have acquired over the last 3 babies. My list of things I want for THIS baby is very short. Just think...many more of these babies and I'll have everything I want! :)
Around here, some things are invaluable. Since I've been KSLing the afternoon away looking for my last few 'wishes', I thought I would share a few of my favorite things! :)
I love these baby spoons. They took them away for a while, but have brought them back! Just in time!
As for feeding, has anybody tried these? What did you think?
And I can't wait to get a whole bunch of these! How did I miss these with Luke?
I think white long sleeved onesies are the greatest invention. Our baby boy is going to be born in May--which in Utah could mean swimming party one day and winter blizzard the next. Enter the white onesie! Take a cute short sleeved shirt and turn it into a long sleeved option! Yes!
Speaking of clothes. I love, love, love little sleep sacks. For boys and girls. Easy to change diapers, super cute, cozy. I have even made a few this time around out of Mike's old BYU t-shirts just for our little man!
The boppy. Now, I'm not a nurser and I never did figure out how to make this silly pillow help me in that area, but I love it for my acid refluxy babies. The perfect place to prop them up, great for homemade photo shoots, perfect for protection for cars and trucks being zoomed at their little heads.
I also couldn't live without one of these puppies! We are a formula family around here and having this awesome divider for on the go feedings is perfect!
And I love my carseat blankets. I've got a couple of these--course, I made mine and they aren't this pretty, but still totally functional. And they allow me to have one less thing to cart around. A car seat, diaper bag, toddlers, and a baby are plenty--thank you very much.
*************
What's on the list for this time around? Well, our car seat is expired so we are in the market for a new one. I know there are tons of fancy awesome ones, but I'm going for a generic graco so it will fit in my stroller still.
As for the fun stuff? Anybody out there want to spring for one of these?!? I'm not sure I can convince Mike to go for it, but maybe, if I'm lucky. How awesome is this swing? The car seat attaches to it as an alternative seat so that you can can take your sleeping in the car baby right to the swing and never have to move them? Dude! We have a perfectly adequate swing currently, but this is an upgrade I may just ask for for my birthday!
Lastly, I need one of these puppies. When Luke was a baby, we borrowed one and it was awesome for our summer trips. Kept him out of the dirt, out of my arms, but still involved. My babies have little tiny Ethiopian legs so they sometimes have a hard time staying in these, and I'm already a nutcase about head bumps so believe me, I know about the dangers, but I'm going to get one anyway!
See, how cute are these babies?
I'm also going to get one of these. I LOVE my little missionaries all dressed up for church--but it's tough to find a white collared shirt small enough for the most littlest baby. This time around I'm sparing no expense! (I say that now...let's be honest. Unless one of these comes from Grandma it probably won't happen. $25 for a 0-3 month shirt? Please~!)
What baby stuff do YOU love?

A co-sleeper and the boppy pillow are my favorite baby items. 2 of my littles came in May and I think it's the best month for having babies. ;)
The squeezie-spoon thing that you asked about - genius. I used it with Jane and I LOVED it. Perfect for church, the park, any time you leave the house - I loaded it up with baby food before we left, and the lid snaps on tight so you dont have to worry about messes.
Yikes I don't even want to think about this stuff. Especially since I don't even have half the stuff you are talking about. We never used our boppy, we like bouncy seats at our house. No swings here either, though I've had them in the past they are all broken after 5 kids. We have a vibrating pad that goes in the car seat, swing, crib, etc....we've had it since Tanner and it's been great for my fussy kids. I am sure there are plenty of awesome things out there but I'm not even going to look. I refuse to buy anything for this last baby who should be (fingers crossed) the caboose. LOL
