Favorite Things - baby edition

A little over five months ago I became a mom, and over that time we've developed a little list of baby gear that we love. I decided to share a few of those favorites with you!

Anka High Chair
My number one favorite thing that we purchased was our Anka high chair produced by Svan.
We love this chair for several reasons, the main one being that we leave the tray off and Matea sits at the table with us. Not only does it make feeding her and meal times more enjoyable with her being RIGHT THERE, but she is learning table manners and appropriate behavior while at the table! The small size of this chair and the ability for it to grow with Matea as she grows makes it a winner in our book. This high chair is well worth every penny.

Baby Bjorn

We have one of these on loan from Aaron's sister. It was a lifesaver in Ethiopia and has come in handy for everything from walks in the woods to the store.

Target Brand Travel Baby Wipes
LOVE THESE!!!! They stay moist, are cloth-like, and are inexpensive. I tried the regular wipes (non travel type) and they lost their moisture really quickly so I started making my own. For on the go, the Target wipes are fantastic. I would even recommend keeping some in the car for wiping your hands, spills, etc. kid or not! I don't know why I haven't had some in the car before! They are great!

Footie zip pajamas

Aaron and I ask ourselves these questions all the time:
1. Why do people make fleece/flannel pajamas WITHOUT feet for kids? If it is cold enough for long sleeve/pant fleece pj's, they've got to have feet
2. Why do people buy snap pj's? I know the diaper argument, but give me one zip over 20 snaps on a squirmy child any day.

We love the zip up footie pjs, and we won't buy anything else!

There you have it - a few more favorites!
