Can't believe we are 6 months into parenthood. 6 months of mastering this little fella. 6 months of baby toys cluttering our house. 6 months of pure bliss. Today I am going over a few of our must haves from 3-6 months.
Light Up Toys
Leo's favorite things in the whole wide world are light up toys. Here are a few of our favorites. He really loves his activity cube.

Jumper
We used to rely on the activity mat and now we rely on the jumper. Especially in the morning he will spend an entire hour in it while we get ready. I had bought this for my niece and nephew and my sister in law gave it back to me when they grew out of it. So it's been through 2 kids and now Leo and it is in tip top shape. He loves all the activities.

High Chair
Phil and Ted High Chair - This high chair is cheap and so easy to clean! My priority when finding a high chair was what was the easiest one to clean. I found this one at a little boutique in Portland. I love it, the seat is made out of basically crock sandal material. The whole pod seat comes off so if meal time gets really messy you can take the pod to the sink and clean it out. I also love the look of it too!

Feeding
Beaba BabyCook - I'm trying to make most of Leo's baby food. I love this cause if we are having sweet potatoes and veggies I throw a few in the baby cook and his dinner is ready in a jiffy. I also love that you can leave it and go about my kitchen routine. It's so easy and I highly recommend it.
Moje Mama- I love these molds for freezing his purees. I know there are a lot of them out there but these are the ones I have found and liked.
Baby Carrot Plates - I love these silicon plates.

5. Chewbeads -
Leo is addicted to these in his stroller and car seat. We have already lost one pair, so we are on our second ones. There is a reason these chew beads are so popular.

Clothing
This summer Leo has been living in rompers with the heat it's so easy and they are lightweight. We are also loving our bandanas due to all the slobber plus since boys can't wear bows I think that a little bandana adds a little flair to his outfit. Our favorite are this brand called Cheeky Chompers . They have a built in teether.

Nighttime Diapers
We switched to these at 3 months and I'm so glad we did. If you haven't made the switch I highly recommend it.

Caspar BabyPants Pandora Radio
Most days you will find us jamming out to this radio station. My friend Kari introduced it to us so if you are in need of some good baby tunes, Caspar Babypants won't disappoint.

Aveeno Baby Eczema Cream and Oatmeal Bath
Poor little Leo has horrible food allergies that cause eczema and rashes. We talked to our pediatrician and he recommended the Aveeno Eczema Therapy and the Aveeno Oatmeal Bath. We have had such good luck with this product so I wanted to share it with you.

A Few Things I'm Still Loving......
Dock a Tot- We upgraded to the bigger size cause Leo was so beefy. We are believers in the Dock for a million reasons.
Bouncy Chair- When in doubt we can count on getting a nap in the bouncy chair. It folds up super nice and we have traveled with it as well.
Activity Mat- Still using this, not as often but it's still in the rotation.
Rock n Play- Hate to admit it but we are still using the Rock N Play for at least one nap a day. He will just sleep forever in it.
Ergo Baby- Still loving it!
Magnet and Zip up Jammies- I used to love them cause we were doing so many diaper changes at night, but now I love them for after bath and how easy it is to get him in them. He usually is fussy and ready to eat after bath so its nice to have jammies that go on quick.
