Great if you live in an apartment and don't have space for a highchair. Very easy to clean.

This is EXTREMELY useful in an apartment. Keep baby in or out, configured as a pen or a long gate. It's light enough to carry, but it's also light enough to be pushed by baby. I do find it a bit difficult to adjust the angles of the panels.

Baby loves a soft ball to play with.

Smaller scale stacking cups, but these are much tighter a fit, I find them hard to stack and I'm an adult! But, my son likes playing with them and their fun in the bath. I find my son likes playing with ANY cups (stacking, disposable, bottle caps, etc.)

Not a necessity and was actually short lived (I should have gotten it sooner), and is probably not all that conducive to walking according to experts, but is a worth the smile on baby's face during that short time when they aren't walking yet. This is the best walker you can get. A smooth ride for your little one, easy to turn, cool design.

At first, I wasn't sure how I would use this, because I had a breast pump cooler... But actually it's perfect for carrying food in First Year's Take and Toss bowls for when baby goes to daycare or grandma's, or for carrying bottles. It's very convenient to just throw the whole bag in the freezer (coolant is built into the bag).

Easy recipes for making your own baby food.

I had this before the baby, but found this was really helpful in preparing larger amounts of baby food. Good for when you want to freeze larger amounts ahead of time.

Baby got eczema? Slather this on after a quick daily bath. Get a travel size too for the diaper bag.

Walkers come in different flavors: walker+push, ride, or wagon - most of them are all hideous or $$$, or don't do either well. Then I found this simple wagon design with blocks that will be enjoyed beyond the learning to walk phase. Perfect! It's stable and my son walks quite confidently with it, even though it can roll quite quickly.
