Month Three Must-Haves

It's so amazing that another month has flown by! It has been so much fun watching Baby Tuna grow and change this month. And, as much as I would love for her to have stayed a snuggly little newborn, I'm loving the goofy personality that has been emerging in the last few weeks. Here's some of our favorites from the last month.

1. Aden & Anais Sleep Sack: Now that the babe is sleeping flat, and grabbing everything she can get her hands on and pulling it up to her face, we put her in a sleep sack every night. We have a few different kinds, but the Aden & Anais are my favorite. Same lightweight muslin as the blankets, and they are longer than the other brands, which is perfect for Baby Tuna and her restless limbs.

2. O-Ball: I saw this in the bin at Target and thought it looked like something baby girl would have fun trying to put in her mouth (cuz, let's face it, from now on, EVERYTHING is going in her mouth!). And, well, the only negative I can come up with is that both the babe and the pup like to put it in their mouths. Let's just say that it's spent some time in the dishwasher!

3. Ring o' Links: This is perfect for the new grabber in the family. This toy was the first solid object Zoey could wrap her little fingers around. We always keep this close by, hooked to the carseat, thrown in the diaper bag, on the floor for tummy time. It's definitely a favorite!

4. Tommee Tippee Bibs: My kid might be the world's messiest eater. We go through A LOT of bibs. These are great because they have a ring around the collar that absorbs all of the dribbles.

5. Goodnight Moon: A childhood bedtime staple.

6. Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bag: We must have looked at a zillion diaper bags. The perfect one had to be cute, but not too cute. It couldn't be too girly, or too big. And since I thrive on organization, pockets and compartments were a must. This bag checks off all of those, and it hangs nicely off the handlebar of the stroller with special clips.

7. Prince Lionheart BebePOD: So much cuter than the Bumbo, and with better leg openings for those chubby little baby thighs. We chose the watermelon, but it also comes in kiwi and orange slice, too. I first put Baby Tuna in this about a month ago, and she loooved it! Our kiddo is so ready to sit up on her own, so she loves being in her big girl chair.
