Three Month Must Haves


1. Fisher-Price Swing: This was actually a hand-me-down and I wasn't sure if we were going to use it, Camden really didn't like it to begin with. BUT lately it has been a life-saver. He LOVES it! And I love it because I can fold it up and put in the closet when we have company over!

2. Bottle Brush: I received several different brushes from my baby showers, this one is by far my favorite. I love the detachable end that you can use for the nipples.

3.Safety 1st Ultrasonic Humidifier: This is another baby shower gift that I didn't open up until this past month. Camden got his first cold and was having a lot of trouble breathing when laying flat of his back, so I thought heck why not try it out. Let me tell ya, it worked miracles! He slept 100 times better when we started using it. Now we don't sleep a night without it!

4. Ergobaby Carrier: this is a necessity in our house, although I haven't convinced the hubster to wear it yet. I LOVE babywearing and so does Camden. It's especially helpful at the grocery store because his huge infant car seat isn't taking up half of the buggy.

5. Bumbo: We just started using the Bumbo this month, I waited until he had good neck and head control but when he started rolling over I thought we were in the safe zone. We NEVER use it for long periods of times and someone is ALWAYS right next to him when using it. But so far I love it. My favorite place to use it is in the shower. Yup, you read that right. I stick him in the shower with me and after I bathe Camden I put in the seat and shower myself. Camden loves the warmth of the steam and I LOVE a few extra minutes under the hot water!!

Two Month Must Haves


1. WubbaNub This is my favorite paci, Camden has the giraffe and I think its the cutest thing ever. Bonus he can hang on to the giraffe and it helps him keep it in his mouth longer....which means a few moments of piece and quiet for this momma!!  

2. Boon Grass We just started using bottles and this has been a life saver for keeping all those pieces dry and organized. PLUS it's fun and you can add "flowers" or "trees" to your grass for extra storage!

3. Gerber Cloth Diapers These are my favorite "burp rags" they are supper absorbant and super cheap.

4. Sleeper Gowns This is the only thing Camden sleeps in. At two o'clock in the morning the last thing you want to deal with is zippers and 1 billion snaps. 

5. Dr. Brown Bottles These seem to be Camden's favorite bottles. BUT they are a pain in the ass to wash, they have five different parts, including the bottle itself.  We have also had Avent bottles but the flow seems to be a little to fast right now....so hopefully in the next couple of months we will be able to start using those also.

6. Mud Pie Pacifier Clip  I actually got this for Corey as part of his Father's Day Gift and couldn't wait to finally use it. At first we were only using Soothie Pacifiers but we have finally converted to several different types and this clip is perfect for on the go!

One Month Must Have

WOW I can't believe my baby boy is almost a month old, here are some of the things that help us get through our first month!



Aden and Anais Swaddle Blanket: These are amazing, I know everyone raves about them, but they are truly the best. They are great for swaddling AND they are huge! You can use these for everything from swaddling to covering up while nursing. I LOVE THEM!

Aveeno Baby Wash and Shampoo: This is the only body wash we have tried so far but we love it!

Boppy: This has been a life saver, especially after my c-section. This pillow made nursing easier since my stomach was so sore. Camden also loves to sit up in it when he is awake and curl up in it when he is sleeping.

Playmat: Just in the past week or so he has started to play on his playmat. He loves to swat at the elephant and he tries to grab the rings, what a little champ!!

Diaper Bag: I LOVE this diaper bag. It's big enough to carry my stuff and the babies but not so huge that I hate carrying it. It makes running to the doctor or to the store so much easier AND bonus it's cute!
