With an Easter basket that cute, it cannot just make one appearance on Easter morning, so our new tradition is going to be that the basket is magically filled with goodies come Easter morning!
I'm anxiously waiting to capitalize on Leo as an excuse for buying Reese's Easter Eggs....but until then, I'm going to try and fill his basket with a few things he actually "needs".
1. Leeman needs some summer clothes! I like these linen rompers from Carters because they're darling, easy to wear, and inexpensive so I'm going to stock up on a few.
2. I've heard this is the best teether out there. A few mom's in our story time every week have said that its literally their number one "must have", and since Leo sticks his hands in his mouth every 12 seconds, this might be a nice change of pace for him!
3. I have a Holiday book obsession. I've got an entire box filled with goodies, and I like adding a few to the collection every chance I get. I remember as a kid the special books that would come out only at the holidays, so I want to try and build up Leo's holiday library too.
4. Right now, Leo's favorite toy is the activity laptop-y thing that came with his V-Tech sit-to-stand pusher. It lights up, makes noises and has a bunch of different things he can play or press. I'm almost tempted to bring that big old thing on the plane ride since it keeps his attention so well, but my girlfriend said this travel toy does a good job too. It's a lot smaller and pretty cheap, so I'm going to give it a whirl.
5. I think we get back from Chicago, Leo is going to start solids (he'll be 6.5 months!), and I'm going to introduce the sippy cup then too. I've read good reviews about this one, but I'm open to suggestions if you have a favorite.
6. And.....since we are going to be doing Baby Led Weaning, we need full coverage. This bib is by Bumpkins, and hopefully will eliminate the need to do laundry three times a day.
What a great list! I may need to pick up that teether and toy for SC. I can't believe how close Easter is!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little Easter basket! I love those rompers from Carters for summer! When are you guys going to be in Chicago?! And we loved that banana teether for a while... Until our dog Charlie got to it... Sigh...
ReplyDeleteHa such a cute little teether! What a fun project for when you have a little one. Great job, lady!
ReplyDeleteI've found when feeding O it's best for him to wear no clothes! I'm so over running to the washing machine right after putting a new outfit on because it's covered in food! Where did you get the basket from? It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteOhh those rompers are the sweetest! And I'm with you on the holiday book collections - I've started buying and putting away holiday books for our future kiddos!
ReplyDeleteThat basket is adorable. Mind sharing where you got it? I need to get Ben summer clothes too!
ReplyDeletethe basket is from PersonalizationMall.com - it was really inexpensive ($13ish?). It looks a little "inexpensive" in person, but I needed something that could easily fit in a suitcase, so it's a winner!
DeleteNumber 2 and 4. YESSSSSSSSS. MA is kinda done with #4 but obsessed with the Teether. I just bought a second one. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat baby Einstein toy is a winner! Kept my daughter entertained in her car seat for months. We didn't have much success with that munchkin cup. It leaked and I could never position the bottom piece correctly. We started with the 360 cup and still use it. Took a bit for her to get used to it but was a pro within a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I may have to switch to that 360 cup. Seems much better for long term use!
