Our Favorite Things: 3months-6months
/
When I started “Our Favorite Things” series I had every intention of doing more than just Lampley’s favorite things. To be honest, her’s are just easier to track and they change the most frequently. So before she gets any older I wanted to share the things we are loving from the 3 month to 6 month stage. It’s been such a fun couple of months with our littlest. Her personality is coming out, along with her voice and she is not afraid to use it. She has started to sit a little more each day on her own. And we have added in solids for 3 meals a day! We are loving growing with our Lampley girl!
Number One - Teething Toys
With Jane Taylor, teething wasn’t the end of the world. Honestly we didn’t really even notice when she got teeth until they were there. Lampley doesn’t have any teeth yet, but she has had several days were she is biting on a toy so hard that I am sure she is getting one. Lampley puts all the things in her mouth! Totally normal, but so different from Jane Taylor who never did! Sophie la Giraffe is her top pick. I also like this version of Sophie because it is much easier to clean.
Number Two - Angelcare Bath Tub
When we lived at the farm the sink (a literal farm sink) was big enough to put the Angelcare Bath Tub in and Lampley loved it. Angelcare is a nice, not super expensive option before she starts sitting up in the bath herself. Just last week I got brave enough to put both girls in the bath together and the Angelcare was just the right size to fit them both in the tub. We also love using this soap for Lampley and this bath set for Jane Taylor.
Number Three - Activity Walker
To help Lampley work on strengthening her muscles in sitting up, I have been propping her in front of this activity walker. It is engaging enough that she can sit there for a good amount of time. The wheels do not have any brakes on them so I prop up the walker in front of a chair or the couch so it doesn’t roll away from her when she is using it. Eventually she will be able to use it to help her learn to walk. I love that it can grow with her.
Number Four - Activity Jumper
We didn’t start using this gym with Lampley until she was closer to 6 months old. I might have tried to use it a little earlier but we didn’t have it with us when we were staying at the farm. But once we put her in there she loved it! I picked this jumper because it had enough engaging aspects without being over stimulating.
Number Five - Sit-Me Up Floor Seat
Lampley used this starting around 4months. It was great to give her a safe place to sit and learn a new view on her little world.She could sit up to look around instead of laying on a mat or being held. I will say of all her toys she used this one for the least amount of time. Probably only from 4 months to 5.
Number Six - 4moms HighChair
Another item that was handed down from her big sister. It’s easy to clean, easy to use. It can adjust to different heights - so we can lower it to meet the dining room table but raise it to use at our kitchen counter.
Number Seven - Sleeping Suits
Lampley started rolling over a lot earlier than I expected. So we took her out of the swaddle and moved her to a sleep sack but she was not ready for that much freedom with her arms. Our doctor suggest the Merlin Sleep Suit, which at first I was against because it was awful for Jane Taylor, but for Lampley it worked great. When she was ready we moved her to the Nested Bean suit. We use that along with the Burts Bee’s sleep suit and they seem to work great.
Number Eight - Pacifier
I know there is lots of opinions around using a pacifier. We use them. With Lampley because she was so little when she was born the Tommee Tippee Pacifier was the smallest we could find for her. Now she loves it and we will watch her search for it in the middle of the night. I also love this pacifier clip for the car & stroller
Number Nine - Uppa Baby Vista Stroller
Whenever people ask me what stroller to get I always say the Uppa Baby Vista. It has literally grown with our family. We got it when Jane Taylor was born and use it all the time. I would put Lampley in the bassinet when she was younger and Jane Taylor could sit in the rumble seat. Now Lampley sits in the rumble seat and Jane Taylor rides on the piggy back. It is so easy to use and we love it.
Number Ten - Nail Trimmer
This is one tool that I can’t say enough about. I love using it for Lampley’s little finger nails and I don’t have to worry about hurting her whenever it is time to trim her nails.
