1. Skip Hop Grab and Go Wet/Dry Diaper Bag: I fell in love with Skip Hop's Chevron pattern and have a few things in this design. Besides the super cute design though, we love this bag! I was skeptical if we needed a wet bag. It seemed more like a luxury item, but it just makes life easier!
2. pipSquigz: My in-laws had these for their baby, who is turning a year on Sunday! We really liked them and my mother-in-law ended up sending us some. They are great for entertainment while out because they can stick to the table, highchair, etc. William chews on them or we can attach another toy to some of them.
3. Booginhead Sippigrip Sippy Cup Adjustable Leash: Also great for toys! William isn't at the sippy cup stage yet, but we use these "leashes" to attach to his toys. The baby game of drop/throw and mom or dad pick up gets old real fast!
4. Graco FastAction Fold Sport Stroller Click Connect Travel System: My mom and dad were very generous and gifted us this travel system in the Pierce design. Originally, we were going to borrow my friends car seats, but having our own has been nice. We still were able to borrow my friend's additional car seats bases which was a nice save on money. This stroller is kind of large, but it's super easy to fold up! And the infant seat just clicks right into the car seat base or stroller. Now that William is old enough to sit in the stroller alone, this is really nice because it has a shade that pretty much can completely cover him, which is very important for my pale little man!
5. J.L. Childress 6 Bottle Cooler: Love this bag! It has been a huge help for packing up enough bottles for William during the week days, or if we are gone for an entire day. Also, this bag has a top compartment that can hold medicine, formula, etc. I think this will be especially helpful when we have to pack up food for the day as well.
6. Enfamil Infant Formula Single Serve Packets: These are super helpful to have handy when we're not sure how long we'll be out and run out of breast milk. Or just don't want to worry about carrying liquid with us.
7. Booginhead PaciGrip Pacifier Holder: A must for babies that love their pacis! We also attach small toys to William with these because otherwise it's the game of toss/pick up...William loves his paci and nothing is worse than when it falls on the ground (which happens all the time!).
8. Fisher Price diaper backpack: A friend of ours had recommended Fisher Price diaper bags to us when Matt and I were looking to get one. Our friends even tipped us off to a Groupon deal that was going on at the time. We scored a bag like the one linked here (but in green) for $25! I highly recommend a backpack for a diaper bag. It is so much easier than having another bag to carry and fall off my shoulders. The perk about the Fisher Prices diaper bags is that they label each pocket/section with what it is intended for (pacifiers, diapers, etc). The only thing that doesn't work well for this bag is the wipes compartment; the wipes tend to dry out.
9. Skip Hop Grab and Go Double Bottle Bag: Once I went back to work, it was clear that we needed two bottle bags. One for me and one for William. I'm so glad I put both the cooler on our registry and also bought this one for myself. I use this bag during the week for my pumped breast milk. We also tend to use this bag if we are gone for a chunk of the day, but don't necessarily need the large cooler bag. I will say though that this bag is not water proof. I put some ice in it on our trip back from Ohio when I forgot the ice packs and it leaked everywhere! :(
10. Brica Baby In-Sight Mega Mirror: Being able to quickly look back and see how William is doing in the car is helpful. We have two mirrors, but I prefer this one since it's go a larger mirror portion.
11.Summer Infant 2015 3D Lite Convenience Stroller: We got this stroller as a smaller alternative to our other stroller, and to have one for my mom and dad's house and one I can keep in the car. This is nice because it's a smaller than the other one, which is nice for small stores or tight spaces. It also folds up smaller. It's still a decent size though and has good storage, but if you are looking for a really light-weight stroller, this would still not be your first choice. I wanted something that still had storage and would last overtime so I went with this nicer option.
