The Happiest Baby on the Block

I just got home from spending the weekend with my best friend from college.   I was visiting her for her baby shower.  As we talked during the weekend I recalled this fabulous find for first time parents. This DVD offers great tips for soothing a fussy baby.  If you need a gift for first time parents, this is one that will surely be beneficial.  My husband and I used the techniques from the video and they worked effortlessly.  The video is only 35-40 minutes long and walks you through the steps needed to soothe your baby in minutes.  This is also available in a book as well.  I recommend checking your public library for the video first or using netflix.  The video is available at amazon.com for $17.99. 

Little Scolastic Puppet Book

Victoria just loves this little puppet book! She will start to giggle and laugh as soon as I pull it out of her diaper bag. Again, this is such a wonderful "tool" to have as a mom when travelling. If she is fussy, then I can use this to distract her and she begins to have fun again. She loves to turn the little pages. It is a miniature board book, and the puppet is large enough to fit Daddy's hands as well. Little Scholastic makes other stories as well. You can find this at www.amazon.com for $9.35.

VTech Splash and Learn Duck

If you are looking for a fabulous bath toy that is fun and educational, then look no more. I love this toy from vtech...it's actually one that I can figure out easily! This little duck is water activated, and it moves around in the water while playing music and lighting up. Victoria loves bath time, and this toy especially! You can find it at Babies R Us for $9.99.

Phonics Bus By Leap Frog

While I was at ToysRus this weekend I came across this great toy.  I have been on the lookout for great educational toys and I think this is one of them.  We have only had this for less than 24 hours and Hannah already loves it.  I think this will be a toy that she will like to play with for a long time to come and the best part is, is that it is educational.  

This toy allows little ones to discover the entire alphabet through easy-press letters, 26 learning songs and fun, removable characters that encourage open-ended, imaginative play. With 3 modes of play, toddlers are introduced to letter names, letter sounds and songs that combine letter names with sounds and the "ABC" song. But wait, there's more! Add the characters in and toddlers will be introduced to 3 versions of the "Wheels on the bus" song, 3 raps that encourage physical movement and 3 different instrumental sounds. With letters, characters and fun learning songs this portable bus will be a delight for all!   The bus is age appropriate for 12 months old to 4 years.  

This toy is available at http://www.toysrus.com for $19.99.
