My Top Ten Baby Items for the First Year!

I wanted to share with you all my top ten favorite baby items that helped me during Rowe's first year. I am sure other mommy's will agree on some and disagree on others. I hope this at least helps all you expecting new babies soon. Now I want to see some posts on the top ten baby items for baby's second year! Leave me a comment with the link to your post or just comment on your favorite items.

1. Sound Machine with battery for travel - This is still our favorite item! We use this every night in Rowe's room and take it with us every time we travel further than a 30 minute drive. The heartbeat sound helped soothe him when he was crying, and the rain sound helps him sleep.











2. vibrating bouncy seat - Rowe slept in this seat until he was four months old. It helped his reflux, and he slept much better in this than his crib. The vibrating motion helped to soothe him too.












3. travel system - This is great because itty bitties fall asleep in their car seat. This way you can easily put sleeping baby in his stroller without ever waking him. Ours was most helpful when we would go to a restaurant and Rowe would sleep the whole time in his carrier.










4. Oopsie - Meet Oopsie. He was Rowe's best friend for the longest time. It was great for travel, play time, and bed time. It lights up and makes cool noises. It is not technically called Oopsie. We just named it that. Bright Start makes it.












5. Nuby - When Rowe was a newborn and had to take medicine, this was the only way we could get him to take it.











6. Jumperoo - Rowe loved spending time jumping in this, although he never slimmed up
jumping in it like I thought he would.














7. exercauser - He also loved this toy. He met the weight limit kind of early, so he didn't get to use it as long as he wanted.














8. Floor Gym - Rowe loved this as an infant.














9. Lovie or Taggie - This was great for nap time or when he was upset.
















10. play yard - This was great when Rowe started crawling. We were able to play in the floor without me constantly trying to chase him. We still use it often with him. We ordered the extension kit with it because it was too small without it.
