He picks this up constantly and loves the switches. Cause and effect learning and coordination. Good size for travel as well.

Used every single day by our 15 month old (since 13 months). He loves switching out the tonies and picking ones for the day. I like this because it will grow with him. The sound is actually really good and it's soft and not easily damaged.

This is in our top five tonies. Fun songs, lots of orginality and not annoying.

Another top 5 tonie. Motivational, fun, not annoying and the Snoop aspect is nostalgic for these millennial parents.
Doggyland Tonie

Top five tonie. Cute songs and great teaching lessons about emotions and daily habits. Daniel tiger is a good role model.

Center of our playrooma nd used every day, we took out one of the middle pieces and it's also currently a ball pit. Eventually it'll be our coffee table. We have the willow and have gotten a number of stains out of it very easily (pouches, banana etc...

Another toy used every day. He likes to be pushed around, its easy to turn and move and recently he likes the floor out so he can drive it around himself. Holds up great. Stickers kind of peel a bit sometimes.

Another favorite book, often read before bed time. Funny and fun.

My favorite style of silicone plates, slightly deep (so dips/oatmeal etc work in them) with the FOUR suction cups so they actually stick to surfaces. note: clean with dapple baby dish soap! (or unscented soap)
Silicone Plates

The G.O.A.T of baby toddler spoons. Easy to grip but long enough you can help them if needed. and you get six because you know we are going through them all at each meal.

This is the straw cup our little learned to drink out of at SIX MONTHS. None of the others worked but he took to this so fast. We still use it and it works great, not hard to clean.
The First Years Squeeze & Sip Toddler Straw Cups

Went through a few highchairs and stuck with this one. Easy to clean, looks great and I love the plastic cover for the table which makes it easy to take off and wash quickly.

We have a bougie stroller too but pull this one out most of the time because it's so light, has a carrying case for travel, and I can open with one hand.
MAMAZING Lightweight Baby Travel Stroller w/ Organizer & Cushion

Our bougie stroller. I LOVE all the accessories (we did use the bassinet) and ability to make it a double stroller. It's a bit heavy but definitely a comfortable smooth ride.

Have this is the black vegan leather and the quality is worlds ahead other cheaper hip carriers I have had. It is a little bulky but handy for days when you don't want the stroller and they have outgrown other carriers.
Tushbaby Original Safety-Certified Hip Carrier

Found this carrier very comfortable. I have it in the black air mesh and the starry design. I recommend the airmesh for more breathability.
