bath time

1. [california baby - body wash & bubble bath] we switch up the scents and try the new ones. bubble bath comes with a bubble wand. a few drops in the tub and its bubble city. made for sensitive skin. lincoln loves to eat the bubbles and gives himself a bubble mustache. 

2. [boon - ray drain cover] our tub does not have any drain, so this was needed. but if you have a drain that sticks up (metal knob) this is a great butt protector. 

3. [green toy - tugboat] this bath toy is great because it has a water spout to scoop and pour water out of. its also manufactured from an amazing "green" company that uses recycled material to make their products. tugboat was a gift from lincoln's grandma for valentines day. she knows how much he loves his baths. 

4. [elegant baby - boat party squirties] these cute little boats come in a party package. lincoln loves being squirt in his belly with these. also make great teething bath toys.

5. [skip hop - moby bath spout cover] not much explanation here. safety and good design. two awesome qualities. adjustable whale belly, fits any tub spout. now and then lincoln will kiss his bath whale. "thanks for protecting my head"

6. [boon - creatures interchangeable bath toy cup] such a smart idea to make these interchangeable creatures into cups. there are different sized holes in the bottom of each one. adding an element of curiosity to water exploration. for now, lincoln thinks they are musical instruments (as he does everything else) and bangs them together.

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.
