Skip hop has some good stuff – their Splash rack is great. For the baby gym we’ve been having good luck with the very large named toy called Baby Einstein Baby Neptune Ocean Adventure Gym

I would love a bouncing thing to replace my ball ( I use the bozu half-ball thing) but I wonder if its a safety issue. Maybe you could strap your kid into his car seat and lock it into a mechanical self-bouncer. Let’s get the Graco peeps on that in time for my second child, huh?

i liked moby wrap, but i LOVE sleepy wrap (www.sleepywrap.com) – so much easier to nurse in and much easier to tuck my girl’s head under the shoulder piece, i just stretch the piece over her head, no crying or waking up :)
great post ariana

I’m bookmarking this too! Thanks for all of the great advice. I had to chuckle when you said the car carriers are so heavy. After starting to look at them, I’ve been lifting 8lb weights everyday like a car carrier just try to be ready.

Farah, I meant to write in the review that Jasper hates when I tuck his head in.. he’ll always wake up, or if he is awake he’ll try to bust out!

Dawn, I do have a sling like a hotsling (a peanut shell). Unfortunately Jasper hates it, he really likes to be upright tummy to tummy with me. I also find it awkward, but that’s the thing about babywearing, it’s so individual to each mommy/baby as to what works and doesn’t. I have something on order for you that I’ll be sending your way soon, I’ll include a gazillion swaddle mes ;)

Love your reviews. I would buy your inventions and then maybe you can be a gazillion-aire. I would add the Hotsling to the loves category. Not sure if you’ve tried one but they are very womb-like and both of my kids have loved them.

Sorry Jasper is sick! Hope he’s better soon! Love the new photo. And if you have no use for your Swaddle Me’s I’d be happy to take them off your hands!

Thanks for the reply — that is a great idea. :) I, too, love these “favorite things” posts. I keep them bookmarked. And Jasper is just too adorable!

Love the new pic! He’s so yummy! Our bouncy seat bounces up and down, the Boppy Cradle in Comfort. She always prefered this to the swing. We still use it, even though she looks like a giant in it ;-)

I just think I’m not knowledgeable enough to figure out the right combo, but I was guessing that the thing to do was to go with the AV mode, lol.

I can’t wait to try it out!
