BABY KAUFMAN ADVENTURES: REGISTRY

I've been compiling this list since Lola was born and I've come up with some of the necessities we have loved. We use all of this stuff on a daily/weekly basis. So lets get started.

Mobile- It totally doesn't match our flamingo nursery, but Lola LOVES this thing. It was a hand-me-down from my niece and it's been the best thing ever. When she wakes up from a nap or in the morning, I turn this thing on and she will play in her crib by herself for no joke, 20 minutes. Which means, mom gets a shower!

Night Light- Really any night light will do, but this one is THE CUTEST. I spent more then I should have on this night light, but I figure we will keep it for a long time, and it goes with every stage of decor. Night lights are a necessity for night feedings, for checking in to make sure they're breathing 500 times a night, and for tip toeing out of the nursery as quietly as possible after laying your little one down for the night.

Humidifier- we actually use this every night. Not just when Lola is sick. It just has become part of our routine, and we have learned how much Lola loves her routine! Funny how this one always makes the list though when your little one is sick.

Sound Machine- This helps keep noise out of her room so we don't have to tip toe around our house while she naps or sleeps at night. She does not like sleeping in silence. Plus I've become accustomed to listening to it on the monitor while I sleep too

Monitor - We went with this monitor because of the wifi capabilities. It has a great picture, and is loud enough for us to hear her perfectly. We've even gotten notifications on our phones that the room is too warm for a baby (even though she wasn't in the room at the time) but I love that

Crib Mattress - We went overboard with this one, but I wouldn't change it. Organic cotton and top of the line. She deserves the best for sleeping!

Fan - Aside from being SO cute, a fan is necessary for circulating air in a nursery. And I know come summer time, I'll be glad we have a heavy duty one in there.

Crib - We shopped so many cribs before deciding on this one. Everything else just felt so cheaply made. So we went on the pricey side and love this crib. It converts to a toddler bed, and eventually a full size bed. So girlfriend is keeping this til she moves out!

Flamingo Toys - how cute are these? Lola got these as a Christmas gift and she loves filling the tub up with all twelve and chewing on every single one

Spout Cover - necessary for when baby sits up and bonks their head on the spout 15 times. Plus, its adorable

Bath Tub- We love this bath tub. Its so easy, dries and cleans great, and Lola has no problem laying back and loving bath time in it. This is highly recommended for tubby time.

Rubber Duck Temp Gauge - Still use this thing to gauge whether the bath is too hot for our little peanut. Even though she likes it pretty warm, its great to use just in case you're not sure in the beginning.

Shampoo & Lotion - got this shampoo and lotion as a gift and will never use anything else. I know its more expensive, but it smells amazing and makes our girl so fresh and so clean. Plus its made of all things natural (and anyone who knows Chuck knows his crazy obsession with natural soap!)

Bath Squirites - I HAD to buy these for the cuteness, but Lola is just now getting into squirties in the tub. They make bath time so fun and keep her occupied for a while.

Food Storage Containers- I haven't used these in the freezer quite yet, but when I make food I grab 3-4 to use for the next few days and they're the perfect size. The lid snaps on so no spills. Great especially for when I need to pack her food at day care!

Spoons - We have these spoons (and several more) and Lola seems to like the texture of these the best. She learned how to eat like a champ within a few days after we started, and often tries to grab the spoon and feed herself now

Baby Brezza - A friend told me about this, and I'm SO GLAD I bought it. It makes making my own baby food a breeze. You literally just have to chop food, stick it in here and hit the appropriate time. It steams AND blends it for you. Worth every penny

Bottle Brush - We just picked this one cause it's pink, and cheap. Works great for those bottles we forget to put in the sink after bedtime!

Bibs - We have several cute, expensive bibs, but honestly I bought 2 packs of these cheap ones cause now that we're eating foods, they get MESSY and soaking wet. You can never have too many bibs in my opinion

Boon Grass Drying Rack - so stylish on your counter, but also so great for drying bottles and all the cute flower attachments work great for drying nipples

Avent Bottles - we lucked out with these bottles. We got the starter kit as a shower gift, and received TONS more Avent bottles as hand me downs from family, and Lola does great with these.

Baby Carrier - got this one cause it's versatile and so cute, Lola hasn't used it much, but we haven't had nice enough weather to use it outside, so I'm looking forward to it more. Its very comfy

Car Seat - Chicco Key Fit 30 is one of the highest rated infant seats and we did our major research on car seats! We have this convertible car seat for when she transitions

Diaper Bag - I really wanted a Kate Spade diaper bag, but I was shut down by the man who said he wouldn't carry one that looks like a purse with flamingo's on it. Dang! But this one works out great. It is HUGE and has a million compartments in it, and works for my obsession with having everything black.

On-the-Go Sound Machine - I've mentioned this one before, and everyone asks me about it when they see us out and hear it on. This thing has changed our life in the car or at a store. The soft noise puts her to sleep so fast, and if shes awake I turn the "melody" on and she just plays in the car seat no problem

Mirror - a must for all those times you think something is wrong and don't want to pull your car over on the side of the freeway again

Cart Cover - Is this not the cutest thing? SO FLUFFY AND SOFT. Perfect for those nasty high chairs at restaurants and germ filled carts in the grocery store. Lysol wipes just aren't enough when your baby wants to lick or chew on the handle!

Stroller - We debated this stroller just because of the price, but in the end, would not go back. This thing rides like a dream, and feels like it weighs nothing! It opens and closes so easily, and can have a second seat added when baby #2 comes along

Swaddle Blanket - Can't say enough amazing things about these swaddle blankets. Aside from being the cutest prints out there, they're just so soft and easy to wrap up a tall baby cause they're so big

Kick & Play Piano Gym -This thing is awesome for young babies who lay on their backs most of the day and want to kick, but the best thing is the piano folds up so when baby can sit up she can play the piano with her hands. Lola loves this thing and we've certainly got our Black Friday price use out of it

Baby Lit Books - I'm a sucker for all baby books. But these are just too cute. We have several of these and aside from having great photos, they're really thick cardboard, so no tearing pages!

Avent Pacifiers - We use these pacifiers (we have like 6 but usually can't find one when we need it most!) Lola really only gets a pacifier for going to sleep, and being in the car seat. Other then that we try not to use them. But these are the ones she likes the most

Vulli Chan Pie Teether - We have a Sophie, and a Fan Fan (cause they're cute) but Lola definitely takes to this one the most. She loves to grab it and gnaw on those little ears, or whatever they are, I've even caught her trying to shove the whole head in her mouth.

Bumbo Multi Seat - We decided to spend the extra money on this Bumbo (its not that much more) because the pink cushion comes out and can be used as she grows out of it. It also comes with a tray that slides into the back and snaps on the front. We use this for eating and hanging out on the counter when we cook or eat

Safari Exer Saucer - When Lola was ready to go in this at about four months old, I knew it would be a hit. She loves to bounce in this thing and grabs at everything on it, and puts it in her mouth. There's so many things to do on this thing to keep her entertained while Mama gets a few things, okay one thing, done around the house.
