Leap Frog Learn and Groove Music Table

There are so many toy options out there for you to choose. I always try to find an economical option for toys because it seems that Victoria looses interest after a few weeks. Well not so with this toy. She has been playing with this toy since she was 5 months old, and she still loves it! She will crawl up to it, and get so excited as she plays with it. It's as if she is playing with it for the first time. So if you are looking for a toy that will last, provide educational benefit, and entertain your little one, then this is the toy for you. It is not a cheap toy, but I feel that this toy is worth the investment. You can find it at Toys R Us for $44.99.

Fisher Price Silly Town

A friend of ours got this toy out for Victoria at a playdate she hosted. Victoria really enjoyed it, and a few weeks later I found the toy at a wonderful price. When we got home, and I opened the toy to set it up for Victoria, her eyes lit up! She absolutely loves playing with this toy. Since playing with this toy Victoria has learned "to dance." It is so hilarious that my husband and I still get tickled watching her play with it. This toy can be found right now at Toys R Us on clearance for $20.98....an absolutely fabulous price as well!

BABYBJÖRN Soft Bib

Okay...so another fabulous find from my sister-in-law.  We love this bib!  At first I was not using it a whole lot  since Hannah was so small and the bib was a bit bulky on her, but now that she is getting bigger this bib is the greatest.  This bib is made of safe, high-quality PVC-free, BPA-free plastic that retains its shape while staying flexible enough for comfortable wear.  The bib attaches by snapping together and is adjustable so the bib is able to grow with your child.   The  deep, wide front pocket catches food before it becomes a mess.  Now that Hannah is feeding herself more, she is able to dig into the pocket and retrieve her dropped food.  It is so cute to watch her do this.  On a grosser note, it is also great on the occasion when your child gags on a piece of food and ends up throwing up....the pocket catches it all and makes clean up much easier.  The bib cleans up quickly with soap and water.  I highly recommend this bib for all feeding occasions.  

This bib is available at amazon.com for $9.95.   

Parking Pal Magnet

Check out this fabulous find!  I heard about these first from my sister-in-law, Shannon, and then saw them on another website.  The purpose of the parking pal magnet is to help busy parents keep their child out of harm's way while tending to other tasks in the parking lot.

Loading or unloading packages, rifling for keys, or tending to the baby, parents can take precious attention away from our children, leaving them vulnerable to a number of dangerous situations. Other drivers can't see when they back up because the car next to them is too large or they're distracted by their cell phones, or blind spots make it easy for them to overlook small children who may be behind them. And children, well, they don't always do what they're told or stay where they should. It only takes one second for tragedy to strike.

To use the magnet place the Parking Pal on the side of your vehicle, where it will remain safely attached at all times. It was specifically designed with bright colors, playful illustrations, and a small palm children love to place their hands on. After a couple learning sessions, your child will discover that the Parking Pal is their safe spot, and they will know where to go the second they are outside the car. It also helps teach them that parking lots are no place to play.

The parking pal magnets come in a variety of styles.  Check out the website at http://www.parkingpalmagnet.com/ for all styles.  The parking pal magnet is $7.99.    

Dot & Stripe Chamois Stroller Blanket from Pottery Barn

Incredibly plush and oh so soft!  We love our stroller blanket from Pottery Barn Kids.  This is a great gift for any new baby.  The blankets are so soft and hold up wash after wash.  The blankets are 30"x 40".  This blanket is $39.00 and can be personalized for an additional $7.00.  

We also love these blankets too, which are $29.00 from Pottery Barn Kids.   These blankets are available in ivory, pink, blue, lavender, green and bright pink.   

Sassy Touch & Talk Laptop

I cannot say enough great things about this toy! I found this toy when Victoria was only 3 months old thinking that it would be great to promote tummy time. It worked wonderfully for that, but now she continues to enjoy it. It has three different modes: musical notes, rhymes, and colors in English and Spanish. Each button plays a different sound depending upon the mode it is in. Victoria also loves to look at herself in the mirror and give herself kisses! It is so hilarious to watch. It folds up nicely like a real laptop does! Totally a fabulous find! You can find this toy at www.walmart.com for $12.56. It can also be found at Kohl's, but it is higher in price.

Leap Frog Shapes & Sharing Picnic Basket

This was a gift that a dear friend gave to Victoria recently, and Victoria absolutely loves this toy. She enjoys taking the different objects out of the basket, and the picnic basket teaches sounds, shapes, and colors. It also plays music as well. This will be a wonderful toy that will "grow" with Victoria as she learns more and more about what it says and does. I highly recommend this toy! You can purchase it at Toys R Us for $21.99.
