Inflatable tummy time water mat
We have loved this since Jamie was a few weeks old! He loves to hit the foam shapes inside the water to make them "swim". Tip: use distilled water so it doesn't get gross!
Everyone's favorite piano with the irresistible Purple Monkey song.
Helpful for babies learning to grasp items. We use it now to practice rolling a ball to each other!
Winkel Rattle & Sensory Teether
Another toy to help them learn to grasp, but this one can also be used as a teether and a rattle.
This sweater is so cute!! I got it in 2T last year so it was huge on Jamie, I can't wait to put him in it now and see how much he's grown.
We used this for photos under our tree last year and they came out even more adorable than I anticipated.
Once your baby starts standing, this becomes such a fun way for them to play and explore safely. It converts to a toddler table once they get bigger so it's a really good investment!
You can never have too many bath toys! Jamie loves how these float and rattle around, and I love that they don't have any holes to get water into.
This sweet fox has been a favorite since Jamie was tiny, his beloved "Foxy". It crinkles, acts as a teether, and is small enough to throw in your purse or diaper bag for a quick distraction.
An old-school favorite! So many textures, colors, and that little mirror — it’s one of those toys that somehow never gets old.
A great on-the-go toy for stroller walks or errands. It’s full of colors and sounds and keeps little hands busy while you get a few peaceful minutes of movement.
This plush elephant plays peek-a-boo when you squeeze its belly. There is an electronic version as well that sings and talks, but we try to keep electronic toys to a minimum.
I gotta be honest, this thing looks really weird. My mother in law got it for Jamie last year and I was very skeptical, but it ended up being a huge hit! I've gifted it to other moms since then and they all say the same thing. I guess don't judge a toy by its looks?
The sweetest little snuggle buddy. Jamie sleeps with his every night, and we even had to get a second one for him to use at daycare!
Soft, cozy, and so easy for diaper changes - I always pack at least one in the diaper bag. You can’t have too many of these. These run big and are 100% organic cotton!
The gentle bubbles and glowing fish mesmerized Jamie as a newborn and helped distract him when he got antsy during our drive up to Cape Cod this summer.
Great for tummy time and early crawling! The different textures keep them curious, and it’s light enough for little hands to grab and toss.
This thing is surprisingly useful! Perfect for sitting practice, quick photos, or just a safe spot to plop them while you’re folding laundry nearby. We even brought it to the beach this year!
