So if Fox were to get away for the weekend this is what would be in her bag. Keep in mind she is 11 months old.
Her sound machine - $21.99
This is not the one I originally ordered but the reason I went with this one is because:
a. I never found a mobile I loved and have been looking for something (I know 11 months might be a little later) and this includes a ceiling projector with 3 different themes. It rotates through safari, ocean, and jungle animals with a timer to turn it off. This has really helped Fox stay laying down instead of crawling like a mad woman all over her crib.
b. I wanted white noise for her while she sleeps but I wanted a timer so it wouldn't be on all night and I wanted other sound options for when we are just playing in her room. We live in an apartment so blocking out noise has recently become pretty important.
c. It has an optional night light also with the timer option for when that time comes. I totally recommend this product!
Her summer sleep sack - $19.95
I usually buy everything neutral so that it can always be used. Fox definitely has a lot of pink but for things like this we get neutral so we got the monkey print and it is so soft and just the right amount of warmth for her in our Texas heat. She is currently sleeping in a medium and even though its 6-12 months I think she will be in it for quite a while longer. I have found these to run big for us. She slept in her 0-6mon sack until 10 months.
Her full body bib - $8.95
Again I went neutral and I picked this one based on the price. I think they change so you can flip through the different patterns for the best price or pick the one you like best. This has been huge for a messy, independent, and rebellious eater like Fox. She has always been fickle and messy. I do not know why I waited until 11 months to purchase this. Its machine washable and also wipes off really well.
Her baby food book - $15.81
Because I read this blog almost every day. I saw this book recommended quite often. I love it. It helps you know exactly how much your baby should be eating at each age and it gives you foods that maximize the vitamins your baby needs. Since we are deciding whether to be dairy free or gluten free, this book has helped me see you get so much more calcium and iron from foods that I had no idea had calcium and iron.
Her reads- so Fox loves books but she only likes to read about 3...over and over and over. This one is her absolute favorite, along with this one and this one.
I decided to purchase a few news ones for her birthday after visiting a friend who had some different books. I love books and do not like buying them used because I like to have them nice for our family collection. I still have my favorites from my childhood.
Cows that Type - $9.99
*Most of these items we got through amazon or as a gift. We have free 2 day shipping so it saves me the trouble of going to the store with Fox and we get it quick! Big fans!!
