baby baby!: a gift of my favourite things

Well my little nephew was born a few days ago and he is lovely!  Such a cute family...a perfect little boy, two very happy parents and a big sister who isn't sure about this little creature who came into her life unexpected.  In searching for a gift I came upon some of my old favourites for when my guy was little.  So here's 10 of the great things I found super useful or really cute!

1. Receiving/Swaddling blankets by Swaddle designs.  These are great because they are oversized and come in cute little patterns.  They also sell some really cute stroller blankets.

2.   Soother holder by Bella Tunno.  These are cute, they aren't too long and come in a variety of colours.  They are also fairly cheap!

3. Mum mum holder.  I don't have a link cause I can't find the name of it but its great and also cheap.  Will save those mum mums from turning to dust in your diaper bag.  Once I figure out the name I will update here but they are sold at Frogs Hollow.

4.  Nursing cover.  Nothing compares to this cover!  You can nurse discreetly without popping a boob out for the world to see.   You will not regret this purchase, guaranteed.

5.  Sophie.  This giraffe seems overpriced but it really wins as it was the first one my son chewed on and will still tote it around here and there.

6. Mally leather bib.  For early eaters, this is a great choice.  You can wipe it clean and it can roll up pretty small.  We had a couple, one for home and one for the diaper bag.

 Later on I moved to this one by baby bjorn.  Also great but catches the food that would otherwise land in the lap when they can feed themselves.

7.  Stroller blankets.  I love these ones by Pottery barn kids.  They wash great and still look new!

8. Bug & Pickle body wash.  This body wash smells great and cleans up little bums nicely.  They also have a really nice body lotion and a neat belly rub for babies with sore tummys.

9.  I LOVE shoes.  For myself and for my boy equally the same.  Here are a few of my absolute favourites for my little guy.

Tip Toey Joey.  So cute and they stay on.  100% leather.  Soooo cute.  http://www.tiptoeyjoey.com/

Converse.  Nothing cuter than seeing something you typically see on an adult...but on a child.  http://www.converse.com/#/products/shoes/kids

Robeez.  They make them soft like slippers and also with harder soles for older kids.










10. Noppies.  These clothes they are awesome quality and super cute.  The fit is always perfect and the fabric super soft.  Love them!
