teethers

1. [chewable charm silicone teething necklace]  i love this style of chew necklace because it isn't very heavy on the neck, doesn't get stuck in your hair.. and totally doesn't look like someone slobbered all over it after you wipe it dry. i wear mine even when i'm not with my tiny.

2. [baby banana infant teething toothbrush] you put your hand up on my hip, when i dip, you dip, we dip. but really, this banana is a big hit around here. even big brother likes to chew on it.

3. [toofeze baby soother / teether] i have yet to try this (i mean jules has yet to try this, we have yet to try this ha) but i am so intrigued by the metal part that you actually can freeze or stick in cold water.'

4. [green sprouts wooden ring rattle] one word. wood. i love wooden toys. this is very well designed and not only makes a great teether, but also a rattle. 

5. [comotomo silicone baby teether] this is baby jules absolute #1 favorite. its light and easy to hold. he doesn't choke on the legs because they are short enough not to gag him.

6. [mam mini teething cooler] this bad boy goes in the fridge at night so its nice and cool in the morning. the clip is the best invention ever. i dont have to bend over to pick it up 384973847 times a day. thanks mam!

7. [sugarbooger silicone teether - matryoshka doll] first of all, i'm obsessed with this company's name, sugarbooger. pretty sure my baby son thinks his name is sugar (sugar bear to be exact) anyways... this design is pretty cute and i'm sure it tastes just as cute to a drool face.

8. [mombella dancing elephant teether] this is currently sitting in my amazon shopping cart. since the comotomo might want a break from drooly julie.

what are your favorites?

newborn

1. [american apparel - alphabet shirt] this was a gift from my awesome southern girlfriend. her initials are actually LL so it was quite fitting.

2. [trumpette- pop socks] lincoln's dad got him these. they come in an andy warhol soup can. you really can't have enough socks for a little baby. cold toes are the worst. 

3. [comotomo - teether] i know tiny babies don't teethe (well maybe some do). 

lincoln didn't start teething until he was 8 months.. 

but this toy was great for teaching him to hold things. 

its easy to grip and really light. 

4. [shawnimals - pocket wee ninja] this little ninja is actually very special to us. 

when lincoln was in the NICU for 2 weeks, we kept this ninja in his incubator to protect him. 

it was a very hard time for us and this ninja was a great protector. [our family story]

5. [born free - classic bottles] not only are these bottles BPA and PVC free, they are great transitioning from exclusively breastfed to daddy fed.

 lincoln will go back and forth from this bottle and the nipple without any issues. which has helped out a lot when mommy needs a break in the action. 

6. [aden & anais - moonlight bamboo swaddle blankets] of course any swaddle blanket will work for newborns, but this bamboo swaddle blanket could not be a softer blanket. it feels so good on already super soft skin. they are also really thin, so summer babies can be wrapped up without being too hot. 

7. [nike - baby fit id infant shoe] daddy surprised us with these in the hospital. 

they are so special and will definitely remind you of how tiny their feet are when they first arrive. 

8. [jelly cat - walter whale] such a cute gift from a lovely friend. it hangs on lincoln's car seat and he stares at it for hours. it keeps him very entertained.
