1. Baby Chuck Taylors: Z is getting ready to start the whole walking thing, so we thought it was time to get some real shoes on her feet. The Hubs and I were both totally against butterfly appliqués and pink sparkles (not a lot of pink happening in our family), which flood the market for toddler girl shoes. So just like Momma, Z now rocks the Converse. She loves wearing her shoes and so far, has done really well with the laces.
2. Sensory Balls: These balls are so much fun! They bounce and roll really well, and are apparently lots of fun to chew on. They also look just like one of Scout's dog balls, which was promptly hijacked by Baby Tuna. It's her's now and Scout seems ok with it. What a great big sister!
3. Boogie Wipes: These are essential! They will get crusted crud off little faces so easily and are the only thing to get peanut butter/hummus/fruit out of baby hair without leaving it stiff and funky. Zoey also likes to clean her tongue with them. That's normal, right?
4. For weeks, Forget-Me-Not Friendship Blossoms was the only book Baby Tuna wanted to read before nap time. The story is sweet, but the illustrations are even sweeter. Z hurries me through the story until Cherry the Giraffe makes her appearance. And who doesn't love Guess How Much I Love You? This book is a special one for the Hubs and I, and was one of the first we bought for the nursery before Z was born. It's a classic and she loves it!
5. Whale Spout Cover: With Z crawling all over the tub at bath time, it's nice having at least one hazard eliminated. Plus, it's way cute.
6. Melissa & Doug Piano: Some friends of ours gave Z this little piano for Christmas and she immediately loved it. She'll crawl over to it and play, then stop for applause, and go back to playing. It might be one of the cutest things ever!! Obviously, she is naturally gifted.
What about you guys? Any favorites for a new one-year-old that you consider must-haves?
