we have a few upgrades since the crib has left the room. we gave lincoln a toddler bed, which he loves and feels like such a big boy. and moved his bed over by his dresser, and made the other half of his room a "play room." he loves having all his toys in there (and its nice to have them out of the living room.) right now his favorite toys are brio trains and duplo legos. he got this awesome play kitchen for christmas last year. and now that he's sporty spice, he has basketball hoop in his room (basketball is definitely a favorite over the other sports). we plan on the boys sharing a room down the road... and i am already getting ideas on how to change it up for two boys.. but for the beginning, were going to keep baby #2 in our room.

side note: since potty training, lincoln likes to be pretty much naked all day. excuse undie photos from here on out. 

feeding favorites: infant & toddler

1. [klean kanteen sippy 12oz] - this thing DOES NOT LEAK. its the best!

2. [life factory 4 oz glass bottle] - better than plastic, it cleans so well.

3. [smaska bowl - ikea]

4. [smaska plates - ikea]

5. [smaska 3-piece flatware set- ikea] - i love this set of three simple colors. they hold up well and can be washed in the dishwasher.

6. & 7. [oxo tot cup for big kids] - linc thinks he's such a big shot drinking from this cup.

8. [baby bjorn first plate and spoon] - beginners spoon and plate/ bowl combo.

9. [svan signet complete high chair] - this was a hand me down, and its so sturdy and cleans easy. comes with interchangeable color pads.

10. [boon grass countertop drying rack] - the design is perfect for a bunch of crap on your counter. makes it look pretty.

we are terrible at using bibs, and never remember to put one on. but i love these designs from [whistle and flute] - the bandana bib is our favorite. whats yours?

cribs / sharing a room with baby

making room for another person in your family can be super exciting.. but living in the city has its limitations on space. we are lucky enough to have a three bedroom apartment. but unlucky in the sense that our family is far far away. so it is important to us to keep a comfortable space for our out of town family.

it will be easier, since we will have two boys, to have them share a room down the road. but for now, probably for the first year until they are both sleeping better, we moved some furniture around in our room and we are creating a little corner for our baby boy #2. we are going to keep it simple since our bedroom is tiny. (so tiny, we only have one night stand) but down the road if we live here or a different house, the boys will help us design an awesome room to co-habitat together. check out lincoln's room [here], although we have updated it again, with a big boy toddler bed. new post coming soon...

currently we share our room with the dog, and lincoln usually around 2am he comes wandering in for snuggles. so welcoming another small body isn't going to make much a difference in this little room.

j u n e

1. [the very hungry caterpillar - by eric carle] this book is a staple, but great for lincoln's age now. he likes that the pages are different sizes, have holes, are colorful etc. also a great "summer read" since their are so many bugs around during the warmer months.

2. [oxo - twist top bottle] lincoln's big boy water bottle. he's really into straws right now, and this bottle is great for no leaks. twist it close and throw it in your bag.

3. [camp wolf - summer scout moccasins] i love this brand. they use pendleton fabrics in their handmade products. these moccasins are really comfy for lincoln, especially since he's crawling all over the parks.. working on his first steps. these make it easy on his first steps with a leather soul.

4. [radio flyer - walker wagon] not only is this a great tool for learning how to walk, its become lincoln's toy storage as well. he fills up the wagon and empties it on a daily basis, but clean up is easy and it doesn't look like a mess when you have a bunch of toys piled up in a cute wagon!

5. [pendleton - sante fe saxony spa towel] this very large towel has been our favorite all summer long. we use it for the beach, park, pool. it looks like a pendleton blanket, but since its a towel, its way easier to wash!

6. [ikea - dukig vegetables] i think these are such a great toy. colorful, soft, and veggie friendly!

1. [put me in the zoo - by: robert lopshire] this book has been in the family since i was a little girl. my mama loved reading it to me. its a pretty silly book.

2. [plan toys - my first camera] obviously this is a favorite. lincoln always sees mommy taking photos. the coolest part about this toy is the lens is actually a kaleidoscope.

3. [cherokee -  infant boys henley tank] we had been stocking up heavily on winter clothes, now that its finally warm we needed some easy tank tops for the little guy. this one looks so cute on him.

4. [california baby - sunscreen] obviously this is a necessity during the summer. but california baby is our favorite baby product brand. we also use the baby soap, bubble bath, and lotion.

5. [anamalz - wild zebra wooden toy] a great chew toy with different textures to explore. this zebra is always hanging in the car seat or diaper bag.

6. [magnetic alphabet & numbers] this might be my favorite toy right now because these magnets are on our refrigerator and i love having company in the kitchen when i'm cleaning and cooking. they keep lincoln very occupied, even though most of them end up in the dogs bowl.

7. [ikea - reso children's picnic table] i want to thank ikea for finally making an easy piece of furniture to put together. most of their furniture is "easy" i guess but it takes soo long once you get started. this table took me 10 minutes to put together. and its really sturdy. you cannot beat this price. staple piece for a summer outdoors. (or indoors)

8. [melissa and doug - wooden puzzle] lincoln cannot figure out this puzzle quite yet, but he does enjoy banging the wood pieces together. we are working on animal noises and as you can tell, we love the zoo.
