six month favorites.

We don't have many additions to our favorites for month six. Stay tuned for this month's favorites because it's a whole new world of fun for mama and baby. And we are only two weeks in!

1. Petit Collage Forest Friends Mobile - This super cute mobile was the finishing touch to Brooks' nursery. Made of bamboo, it goes with the rustic deer theme. It is very lightweight so it moves every time the air or fan is on, providing entertainment for B. Whenever I get him out of the crib in the morning or after a nap we stand and look at the mobile. His face lights up and he will grunt at it and reach for it.

2. Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice Cereal - I first attempted to make my own batch of whole grain rice cereal to feed Brooks, but it was a complete fail. Have you ever tried to grind grains of rice?! Instead, I went with the next best option: Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice Cereal. It's organic. Win. It's whole grain. Win. It is an excellent source of iron. Win. And Brooks likes it. Win.

3. Evenflo ABC SmartSteps ExerSaucer - Last month Brooks wanted nothing to do with this amusement park for babies. This month he LOVES it. It keeps him occupied for hours. Well, maybe not hours, but he sits in it while I workout every morning for at least 30 minutes. The sounds, the lights, and the textures stimulate his senses. He squeals in delight and his feet dance as soon as I put him in it. I like it because it's a great place for him to play while I get things done around the house without having to keep my eye on him the entire time. 

4. Tadpoles Playmat - I orignally wanted to purchase a SkipHop playmat for Brooks, but after doing a bit of research and one bad review after another, I opted for the Tadpoles Mat. I bought the mat because Brooks is moving and shaking these days and the fibers from our rug were getting caught in between his little fingers, which eventually make their way to his mouth. Brooks also spits up a lot while on playing on his stomach or sitting up so I wanted a surface that was easy to clean. So far, so good (other than the fact that the cats love it too, especially Goose who thinks the edges are chew toys).

5. Green Sprouts Waterproof Pocket Bibs - These bibs are PVC free, easy to clean, have a flip pocket to catch spills, and are too cute. Rice cereal is messy and sticky and when first introducing solids more food ends up on the bib than in the mouth. These bibs catch and contain the mess so well.
