Favorite Things

Kate is almost 9 months old! Where did the time go?

 Here are a few of her favorite things from the past 9 months.

Soothing Giraffe | Ladybug Night Light | Freddy Firefly | Sit and Stand Walker | Musical Chair | Image Map

1- Cloud B soothing giraffe. We got this after Kate was having a rough time napping. Seriously  she would only nap for 20 minutes at a time... max... The white noise helped calm her down. We still use it at night.

2- Cloud B constellation light. A gift we received from Adam's step brother. At first we had it on Kate's dresser to give off a little light during night time feedings. Now it stays in Kate's crib and she plays with it before falling asleep at night.

3- Lamaze Firefly toy. A gift from my aunt. The back of the wings have a black and white pattern on them so for the first month or so, when Kate was just lying on her back, it was something interesting for her to look at. Once she was able to bat at things, she grabbed the rings and the wings (which crinkle). Then she  used it as a teether. It's been put away now, but she would probably still play with it.

4- V Tech Sit and Stand walker. Hand-me-down from my sister. Kate LOVES the music and lights. Her favorite thing is to grab the purple phone and eat it. She hasn't used it as a walker (she's not ready yet) but I think she'll get a lot of use from it.

5- Laugh and Learn Musical Chair- Another hand-me-down from my sister, but it stays at my mom's house (she watches Kate during the week). Kate LOVES the music (again) and has figured out how it all woks now. She will sit (or climb on it) and as soon as the music starts she starts bouncing up and down.
