every day essentials: baby's faves

Baby Kelly is our "store baby" and like everyone we choose to talk about their every day essentials, has excellent taste. Here are a few of his favorite things from the first 3 months of his life- it should be noted that these are truly things that Kelly actually loves himself, not just things I like as a mom!
1. H&M hats
2. Apple Park owl teether, affectionately known in our house as Schnickelfritz
3. Jellykitten Bonne Nuit bunny, affectionately known as Bun Bun
4. Barefoot Dreams 'covered in prayer' blanket. A gift from Mary, we LOVE how soft it is (I want one for me!)
5. Three Sprouts hooded towel- the warthog fits the "smelly kelly" moniker best
6. Dream Cot by BabyHome, really cozy and easy to take anywhere we travel, Kelly sleeps like a dream in it.
7. The Sleep Sheep. Kelly loves the ocean waves sound best and it always helps him "shut down" at night, we are so glad our friend Shauna recommended this!
8. MAM personalized pacifier- he likes the MAM pacifiers best of all out of the gazillions he has.
9. Boots from Baby Gap- stylish and comfy and easy to put on, enough said.
10. Board books, specifically the two pictures above. The pictures are bright and have sharp contrasts so he can see them really well.
11. Aveeno Baby shampoo for his welsh-y delicate skin
12. Petite Bateau sleeper. OMG Kelly sleeps so well in this- he loves how comfy it is! ( it was another gift from Mary, she knows her baby gear!)
13. Skip Hop Activity gym- for hours of playtime on the back or tummy

If you'd like to see some of our favorite gear as parents,
1. these bibs/burp cloths by Aden and Anais
2. the Uppa Baby Vista is so easy to maneuver! We were lucky to receive this as a gift!
3. The Boon Lawn for all of those bottles!
4. speaking of bottles, Dr. Brown's bottles are the ones we like best because we have a gassy baby. We also like Born Free
5. the best laundry baskets for tiny laundry
6. small fry blog.
7. instagram and artifact uprising to make books with all of those babygrams
8. Kate Spade diaper bag is so roomy and its special material just wipes off!
9. Mini Boden's baby socks actually stay on!
10. discovery toy boomerings- you can make a toy out of anything by hanging things with these.
I'm sure there will be more favorites in the months to come as baby grows and we try out or need various new things!
