Baby Things I Love...

There are many wonderful baby products out there, but here are a few things we love in the Carpenter household.

1. Stella's new duck-bathtub which Grandmom Carpenter bought her for Christmas.  It's inflatable and made for travel, but we think it's great for everyday use, too.  The beak "quacks" when you press it, and there is a thermometer inside so you know the right temperature for the water.  The soft sides keep her from slipping and hurting herself, and she can sit up like a big girl without sliding around in the big tub.  Plus, it cost under $12 online via Target:



2. Zip up pajamas - make all diaper changes SO MUCH EASIER.  Even now that she's not getting up at night as often, they are super handy if we're just lounging around the house on a lazy day:


3. The Ergo Carrier:  Tim and I both think it's great, it's more comfortable for both of us than the Baby Bjorn or any wrap I've tried, and we'll be able to use it until Stella is upwards of 40 lbs!  You can wear your baby on the front, the hip, or the back (although putting your baby on your back is difficult to maneuver without some help from a friend or husband...).


4.  Sleep Sacks:  They lower the rate of SIDS and what person WOULDN'T love a baby in a sack?


5.  A handmade baby sweater:  timeless and adorable.


6.  A good, old-fashioned baby doll:  Stella can't get enough of her baby from mimi!


I also love Smartwool socks for babies and Robeez shoes which keep all socks on my little girl.  I'm sure there are many, many more things I could list, but this is a snap-shot of a few things we use often, if not daily, in our house!
