My Favorite Baby Items

1. Zip Sheets - these are the best!!! With zip sheets all you have to do is yep you guessed it "zip them off." No more stuggling while changing crib sheets!

2. Video Monitor - I have so much peace of mind being able to see Gianna while she sleeps or is trying to fall asleep. If she wakes up in the middle of night I can see if she really needs me or if she is just resituating herself. If she is crying and trying to go to sleep I know if she is about to work it out of if she has her binky stuck on her thumb. Once you have a video monitor I don't think you can ever go back:)




3. Baby Einstein and Praise Baby DVD's- These are a lifesaver Gianna will watch one of these and it gives me 1/2 an hour to run around the house and get some things done. She watches one about three times a week.


4. Baby Bjorn - It's fun going to a park with my nephews and carrying Gigi around in the Bjorn. She is so happy being able to watch everyone and kick her legs.





5. Nature's Touch Papasan Swing -
During the first four months of Gianna's life she spent quite a bit of time sleeping and hanging out in her swing. Now she sits in it and plays with her toys while I am working in the kitchen.




6. Bouncer -The bouncer has been used in multiple places since Gigi was born. Today she spends most of her time sitting in it while we are outside gardening.


I was introduced to each of these items by my sister. Thanks Sis for helping make my first 7 months of motherhood so much easier!!!

I LOVE the video monitor as well! A friend lent us hers, and I don't know what we would do without it.Actually, Madeline would still be sleeping in her cradle next to our bed. :)
I'm impressed that she still sits in her bouncer and swing. Madeline never loved those, and she outgrew them really fast.
I'm glad you found some things to make life easier. Zip sheets sound awesome!

I have the zip sheets too - and got Tam to get them as well. Aren't they the best?! I love the flannel one for the winter time - so cozy!
