Baby must-haves 3-7 months

Before I start my post about baby things I regret buying, I thought I would first tell you about my must-have item for months 3 through 7.

I founds that at 3 months the baby toys really started to become interesting for Luke. He started to really enjoy his mobile. That was the first toy he got excited about. He would wiggle and kick or just stare at the soft animals going around and around with his big interested eyes. As the weeks went on, he got into more and more toys like soft books, a rattle,... Then when he was a little over 4 months I found that he needed more. He wasn't happy with just playing on his back anymore. I did a lot of research and finally bought him a Fisher Price jumperoo (the rainforest one). The first time I put him in it, he cried but after about a day of sitting in front of it with him and showing him the toys and colors he got used to it. We never put him in it for very long but he loved it. The jumping was fun of course but I really liked to see him working his little hands to grab the toys. It's not cheap but for him it was absolutely worth it.

Another thing I'm so happy to have is the Beaba babycook. If you don't know what a babycook is, it's a steamer and mixer in one. You put the vegtables in the basket and steam them and when they are done, you can use the same device to mix them into a nice puree for your baby. You don't have to keep an eye on it as you do when you cook them in a pot and steaming the vegetables will keep a lot more nutrients than cooking will.

I started reading to Luke when I was still pregnant with him but in the last few months, he seems to really like a story before bed. His favorite is "the wizard and the hopping pot" by JK Rowling. This is a story in the book The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Do keep in mind that some of the stories in this book might not be appropriate for really small children. Another favorite is "the gruffalo" by Julie Donaldson and Alex Scheffler.



Nestlé dessert...this is Lukes must-have!. He is a really good eater, fruit and vegetables more than milk but he'll pretty much eat everything. The Nestlé desserts however he won't just eat, he will devour them. The baby vanilla pudding is his favorite. This is obviously a treat and not for every day but he enjoys them so much I can't help but give in sometimes.

Those are the main things I can think of but, as everything does with babies, these can change really quickly.
