There are a few items we have that we don't think we can live without- or shall we say Ada may not be able to live without. The sling pictured above is not quite one of those things- yet, but a friend of ours is letting us borrow it, so we shall see for the future.
Here are our favorite baby things:
1. Exercise ball- This is an instant method for calming her- and us- when she is sad. Within one bounce she is silent and within a few more bounces is ASLEEP! We bought this at target for $12 for pregnancy workouts. It's worth= PRICELESS
2. Blue bouncy seat. This bouncy chair also vibrates and is the only chair she likes to sit in. This is the only way I can shower every day- and she loves it! This was given to us for free by a friend, it's worth=PRICELESS
3. Pack-n-play that is not your average pack-n-play. It has a changing table and bassinet attached. It also has a diaper and wipes holder on the side. I can look over from my bed and see her sweet little face and know she is just fine. This was also given to us by a friend (with a matching car seat and stroller) it's worth=PRICELESS
4. Yellow bath sponge. We just lay this in the tub and fill up the bathtub up a bit and she lays on the sponge. She loves her bath time and a special treat is when Ben and I both bathe her and then one of us uses the blowdryer on her while she gets dressed. This was given to us by one of Ben's students last year, it's worth- you guessed it= PRICELESS
5. Boudreaux's Butt Paste diaper rash ointment. Luckily she hasn't had diaper rash- but rather a red bum a few times (which may be called diaper rash... ;) and this paste works wonders!!!
oh my goodness stacie! I adore all of those pictures - especially the one under number 3.... that's about the cutest baby picture ever. and I love all the "priceless" comments.... evidence that you are living with a newborn :) we sure love you guys
