A New Favorite Baby Thing...

We've been asked by many of our soon-to-be parents friends and family members what tips, advice, and gear has worked best for us in raising our girls.  In this blog, we'll share with you some of our favorites for everyday use in the house, as well as our favorites for on the go. 

With the recent birth of S, we have had the opportunity to reevaluate some of our stuff that has seen a bit too much wear and tear from the first two girls, and get her some spanking new things.

Let's begin with our newest fave:  The Fisher Price Newborn Rock 'N Play Sleeper.  This little, portable sleeper has been a staple in our household and travels from the day S was born.  First, we were able to use it as a co-sleeper which fit nicely in the tight space between my side of the bed and the wall until we decided to transition S from our room to her own crib.  Second, we love that it is easy to pick up and move to whichever room we're in.  My absolute favorite use for it is in the kitchen while I'm cooking dinner or doing dishes.  She can see me, and I can still get stuff done.  Third, it collapses flat so that we can take it with us in the car when visiting the grandparents, etc.  It comes in a few attractive colors, but of course, ours is pink.  Big sisters K and C would not have it any other way.  I also love that K feels like she's contributing to caring for S when she has the rocker near her and can rock the baby herself.  Fantastic!
