Baby Must Haves, Part II

When Emily was a baby, I wrote this post about my favorite baby things. We are still using and love all of them! But, there are a few more new things that we got this time:
  • BOB duallie stroller. I don't use it for jogging as much as I thought I would. I find going jogging with two much more difficult than one. But, the double is so nice for places like the park, the zoo, and volleyball tournaments. I'm glad Ryan let me splurge. I don't love the carseat attachment on the duallie because the carseat never really sits right and it makes getting in and out really hard for Emily. BUT, most joggers don't even have one, and Avery is almost ready to ride without it. This double stroller is big enough really for 3 or 4 kids. I carried Avery, Emily, and Emily's friend easily while at the zoo.
  • Aden and Anais muslin blankets. With a summer baby, these were the best swaddlers. Avery now loves playing with them and sucking on them. :) We also have a couple burp cloths that are great! They snap together to make a bib if you want, too. I'm sure all their stuff is great, we just didn't need anything else.
  • Car seat canopy (any variety). I bought one that I used for summer that I loved. It kept people from touching and breathing on my brand new baby. And, it kept the sun off of her while I played volleyball or went swimming with Emily. 
  • Dropps laundry detergent. Emily has really sensitive skin and has to use scent-free everything. Avery has also had a bit of eczema on her cheeks and hands. This detergent comes in little packs so there is no mess in the laundry room, which is why I like it. I got it from BabySteals.com, but you can also buy it at Sam's Club.
  • Andee Lew bodysuits. Avery looks so dang cute in them! They stretch and are more fitted than regular onesies. She is wearing a pink one in the photo below. I bought two of them on BabySteals.com.
  • Carters onesies and sleepers. We loved these with Emily, too, but I didn't include them on the list. For essentials, Carters really makes great quality, soft, comfy, affordable stuff. Love it! I love that I can find most sizes at Costo, too. Some days Avery never really gets dressed. She goes from her sleeper blanket to her play sleeper. So easy.
