In no particular order...
Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD
Oh my goodness, Isabelle LOVES her Baby Signing Time. We don't have her watch any other TV shows or movies (I'm not hardcore against it, but we opt to do other things with our time) but we chose to introduce this since Isabelle currently is choosing not to talk, and we were hoping to give her some form of communication. Anyway, she will sit for the entire time this is on - a full 27 minutes, and watch, enraptured. She's learned few of the signs, and we're really enjoying it. As of now, at 17 months, Isabelle can sign: eat, drink, milk, banana, cereal, cracker, more, fish, dog, mom, diaper, potty, shoes, please, thank you, sleep, baby, signing, time.
Nuby No Spill Sipper
We tried several different kinds of sippy cups in this house, and this one was the clear winner. I like it because it has no valves and is easy to clean, and Isabelle likes it...... for whatever reasons she has.
Isabelle got a Cozy Coupe for Christmas, and even though all it's done it sit in our living room, she still plays with it on a daily basis. She's content just to sit inside, and wave to us from the window. I can't wait to take her outside in it, and watch her drive around!
We love having this booster seat as opposed to a high chair. It attaches to our normal dining room chairs, Isabelle is at the right height for our table, and it's so much more space friendly. Easy to attach, easy to use, easy to clean, fun detachable toys, detachable washable tray...I love everything about it. I'd highly recommend this to all moms. And Isabelle always looks pretty happy sitting in it too :)
What are some of your favorite things??

ReplyDeleteShe is so stinking cute! My kid is big into legos (the big kind) and boxes. Small boxes that can be stacked = hours of fun. Oh, and matchbox cars. Those are fun to throw at the dog.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite things are: Sweet Treats (cookies, ice cream, etc), Doing remodeling projects around the house, Family time and best of all, YOUR Blog! :-D
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite things? Isabelle, of course.
ReplyDeleteWe had a booster seat as opposed to a stand alone high-chair, too. Much, much better. Aaaaand...my kiddos loved those sippy cups, too. We didn't do sign language, though I think it would've been great. Little Miss A was a late talker, also. (Big brother spoke FOR her.)
Umm...I owe you en email update. Oops.
Love the booster seat too. I actually have 2 of them. One for my 15mos old and one for my 3 year old. I love that they get to eat dinner at the table with us. Snack traps have to be on my favorite things list!
ReplyDeleteshe's getting soooo big! and she's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNolan has the cozy coupe and loves it...and yes it just stays indoors for now too LOL!
ReplyDeleteHere's to some warm weather for taking our coupes outside :)
DeleteWe have the pink car and it's still a winner. In our house right now it's all about making art. Cutting, gluing, and scotch taping everything to the wall!
ReplyDeleteI love your green argyle background. Little C loves to dance around. We listen to Pandora toddler station. So cute the she signs gold fish!! or fish cracker! We have that Fisher Price booster too! I like playtex cups they do have a stopper, but those nuby ones leak all over for us.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I didn't know there was a Pandora toddler station - I'll have to
Deletelook into that. Baby dancing is the cutest :)
My Nora LOOOOVVVVESSS Baby Signing Time. She is a bit obsessed - will do the baby sign whenever she wants to watch it. It's about the only thing she watches but boy does she love it! And I recognize the cracker sign by Isabelle! :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have all the volumes? So far, we just have one and two, but I'd really like to get the rest. Does Nora have a favorite?
DeleteHow cute that she's learning to sign! Even if she is choosing not to talk right now... And that booster seat seems so ideal compared to a high chair. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI need to look into those Baby sign videos. Landon is also dragging his feet in the verbal department so maybe that would help him out!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how BIG she is getting! She's still sooo cute! I think we will definitely go with the booster seat instead of a high chair, esp. now that you recommend it!
ReplyDeleteShe is so stinking cute!!! I can't believe the difference between the newborn picture and now! Precious!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty - and super smart too!
ReplyDeleteJess
What a cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteBtw- I tagged you in my most recent post. Hope all is going well!
Take care!
Both of your girls just keep getting cuter! And that newborn photo is wonderful. :-)

ReplyDeleteThe first picture is incredibly priceless. You really captured the essence of Isabelle sleeping. What kind of camera did you use?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you remember but months ago I solicited advice from other moms to include in my eBook "Devotions for the First Few Days" I wound up using yours, and I completely forgot to let you know, sorry : ( I'm keeping my eBook free for only one more day, because It's now in print too. If you'd like an eCopy please e-mail me @ lessonsfromivy at gmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteAnd feel free to let your networks know that your mama advice is featured in my book : )
