Momma's 12 Month Favorites
We ordered Brinleigh a new convertible car seat when we came home from North Carolina. Brinleigh wasn't a fan of her infant seat and after some extensive research, I settled on this Diono Radian RXT. We both love it!
We received a grocery cart cover at our baby shower and I absolutely love it. I have been using it ever since Brinleigh was able to sit up on her own. I keep it in the car so that I have it any time we go to the store. Brinleigh likes it, I think it's more comfortable for her, and I like it because it helps eliminate the amount of germs she comes in contact with. It actually helps me too since it covers the cart handles that I touch.
I have seen these food pouches around for a while, but here in Sitka I didn't think I had much need for them. I bought a few while we were in NC along with the spoon tips that you can screw on and off of the pouches. These were extremely convenient when we were traveling home. I bought a few when we were out and about one day and I couldn't feed Brinleigh because I was pushing the stroller. I took the top off and gave her the pouch and she just ate right from the pouch. These have now become one of my favorites for when we are out running around or go out to eat.
Once Brinleigh started walking, I knew I had to order her some shoes with rubber soles. After shopping around online, I decided to go with these cute baby Nikes from Kohls. I was worried that they would make it harder for Brinleigh to walk since they aren't as soft and flexible, but surprisingly, she walked perfectly fine in them. I love the velcro straps on these much better than the shoe laces I was having to tie on her soft crib shoes.
