Fisher-Price® Baby Gymtastics™ 3-in-1 Rockin' Gym™Fisher-Price® Baby Gymtastics™ 3-in-1 Rockin' Gym™
Buy new: $89.95
We have only tried stage one so far, but we use this toy everyday starting at 2 1/2 months. She often activates the music and lights herself by grasping and batting the dangling toys (zebra & frog?). She smiles and dances about often times for an hour playing with this toy. I also like that it has a switch for making the music lower. She loves to watch the lights change as the music plays.
Graco Pack 'n Play Portable PlayardGraco Pack 'n Play Portable Playard
Buy new: $171.30
Looks great, extremely light, and easy to move around with an attached changing table, diaper stacker, wipes holder, and 2 deep pockets for other baby essentials- Our little one loves the vibration feature and music. It also has 4 drawer compartment to store clothes, bibs, blankets, etc. I recommend the quilted sheets all year round. It's like it's very own nursery!

I love the look and storage capacity of this diaper bag. Dad doesn't even mind toting this bag around! I am able to pack it with 15 diapers, travel wipes, 2 outfits, 2 sleep n plays, 2 burp cloths, 2 blankets, a book, a teether and a few hand toys, a few bibs, my wallet, a few bottles, a Johnson travel pack, thermometer, aspirator, mylicon, and still have some room!
Playtex Fridge To Go Bottle Tote - DoublePlaytex Fridge To Go Bottle Tote - Double
Buy new: $16.99
We use this for travel and indoor- We pack it with 3 4oz bottles (Dr. Brown's) or 2 8oz bottle every night before we go to bed and place it on my nightstand for nighttime feedings. I never had to leave the room when the baby was in the Playard bassinet all evening! It keeps the bottles cold right to the last one, every time. We bought a second one to use when traveling out with the baby!
Fisher-Price Rainforest BouncerFisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer
Buy new: $52.37
I actually have the Flutterbye Bouncer seat by Fisher Price- but this one looks very similar as far as features. Our little one cannot get enough of the vibration- it often lulls her to sleep or keeps her contented while she grasps and pulls the toys. She plays and smiles and kicks, quite contented for some time. She often activates the music by pulling the toys herself.
The First Years Sure Comfort Newborn to Toddler TubThe First Years Sure Comfort Newborn to Toddler Tub
Buy new: $18.99
This is a great tub. Our little one is just starting to grow out of the hammock attachment at 3 months, which held her perfectly from birth. I store it in the bathroom tub, but place it in between our double sinks when bathing- as it is easy to reach and she can look in the mirror while bathing. I store two baby washes and her moisturizer in the little cubby hole at the end.

Barnyard Dance! (Boynton on Board)Barnyard Dance! (Boynton on Board) by Sandra Boynton
Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $0.01
We have read several different books to our little one since she has been one month old. Se always smiles and coos when I read/sing this book to her and she looks at the illustrations. We really enjoy sharing our love for reading with her, even at this early stage.
Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song CollectionDisney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection by Disney
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.89
We play this in the car and it always seems to settle her, especially when I am driving and she is alone on the back. Now, if I sing A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, even if she is really fussy, this will soothe her. Daddy doesn't even seem to mind listening to this in the car again and again.

Great high chair and won't find a better price anywhere else.
Fisher-Price Rainforest JumperooFisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo
Buy new: $80.49
I just love the Rainforest baby products- we have quite a few of them. They provide a lot of entertainment for our little girl. Music isn't annoying and always lots of activities to stimulate development and learning. Also, the lowest price I found.

I haven't seen a car seat yet that was a breeze to install, but this one is easy to get baby in and out, has lots of features, looks nice, and is made of very soft material. Cheapest at BJs Wholesale at under $100.

Our little girl started using this at 1 month old. She really loved the monkey, music, and side mirror, as well as light up flowers. Keeps her entertained and sometimes she falls asleep playing on it.
GumDrop Full-term Pacifier, Vanilla ScentedGumDrop Full-term Pacifier, Vanilla Scented
MUST HAVE!!! This pacifier is all one piece and is our little girls favorite by far! The hospital gave us two of these and we had bought several other orthopedic ones, but I think she preferred these because it was most like a bottle nipple. I bought a few more and will never buy a different pacifier again.

Buy new: $24.99
At about 2-3 months when our little girl out grew the Swaddle Me's these were great and you can buy them for up to 2 years. These definitely helped keep her at the perfect temperature all year round and helped her to sleep comfortably and soundly through the night.
