our "after" favorites...

As promised... we have a little list of favorites for you now that baby boat shoes has been here 6 weeks!


1. Pampers - diaper of choice for now! 
**still our top pick... love the indicator for a wet diaper!
2. Bonkie swaddle - so soft, so snuggly and so EASY! 
**however, if your little one likes one arm out when swaddled... it doesnt work as well... we like these for swaddling these days. easy to use, comfy and you can swaddle arms down, up or one up and one down!
3. Little Giraffe blanket - again, so soft, so snuggly and will be perfect for chilly Winter. Packed and ready in the hospital bag. 
**still love it but boat shoes gets a little uncertain about the silky side that baby boat shoes will slip out ;)
4. Dr. Browns bottles - everything I read and everything I have heard RAVES about these bottles even for babies who primarily nurse. we shall see! 
**If you are a nursing mom and want to intro bottles... get these! we tried the tommy tippee and for a baby who loves to nurse and loves to eat, he drank so fast that boat shoes had to stop him every minute... dr. browns help regulate and no gulping!
5. hooded pottery barn kids towel - could it be cuter? our little guy will be snuggled in the adorable frog 
**love them love them love them! and love the wash cloths.. they are a little thicker than the typical baby wash cloth which is nice to keep one on his belly during bath time to keep him warm!
6. aden and anais anything! - the blankets, burp cloths and bibs are SO SO soft, snuggly and PRACTICAL 
**Love them as well! we use the blankets daily!
7. whale tub - Our best little buddy EG loves hers and we know that baby boy boat shoes will too! 
**we havent gotten to use it yet but cousin Sam loved it!
8. puj tub - genious for newborn bathing and traveling... Naples what?! 
**It is a dream to bathe a little punkin in this... not too much water, just enough padding and no slip!
9. sophie for the bath - the perfect bath toy 
**We are still focused on singing and splashing, getting used to the bath but one day, we will love her!
10. chicco key fit caddy - the car seat snaps in perfectly, its chic, rolls well and EASY to fold... did I mention it only weighs 8 pounds? 
**A MUST HAVE for any Chicco car seat owner! Dont buy the big travel system... invest in this and a great running stroller!
11. regular Sophie - apparently the best toy in the world...I know Lilly and Murphy like to hear it squeak 
**baby boat shoes likes to suck on Sophie's nose at this point, lets see how the relationship evolves!
12. Chicco key fit 30 car seat - safe, reliable, chic, easy to carry, snaps into bases and key fit caddy with ease and did I mention safe?! 
**Love it... and love the way it snaps into all of the bases!
13. navy blue BOB revolution WITH handlebar console - with the car seat adapter our little one can go on great walks and once he is a little bigger can bop right in the stroller, the shocks are amazing, it handles beautifully and the cup holders are perfect for any type of beverage. 
**FAVORITE!!! A must have!


additional favorites...


14. soothies pacifiers from the hospital - they use them in the newborn nursery for a reason, they are wonderful


15. the moby wrap - for those snuggly days when little one just wants to be held all day, for walks and for bopping around... wonderful. Just watch the video online and its easy breezy!
