Favorite Baby Items: 4 Months Old

And just like that, our little man is 5 months old! 

Here are some of our favorite items from 
this past month (in no particular order):



Fisher Price 4-in-1 Step 'n Play Piano - This has been Bennett's favorite this past month. Now that he's sitting up (not quite on his own yet - but amazing head control) - he loves sitting in this piano and playing while interacting with all of the lights, music and different pieces that he can move around. The videos that we have of him in this, he's sporting the biggest smile on his face. The thing that first drew me to this piano was the fact that it can be used in 4 different stages, while Bennett is growing. Stage 1: The removable soft keyboard mat is great for tummy time. Bennett loved looking at the bright colors. (When the mat is on the bottom of the piano, it plays music when Bennett steps on each key). Stage 2: The baby is able to spin 360 degrees while in the middle section to access all sides of the entertainment system. Stage 3: The sliding seat encourages first steps as baby walks back and forth between the two main sections of the piano. Stage 4: Once your child is standing and walking on their own, you can remove the seat and they'll be able to move freely while playing!

Infantino Flip Advanced 4-in-1 Carrier - This carrier was actually recommended to me by a friend that had used it with her babies! This too has 4 different ways to use the carrier for different stages. 1)Facing-in narrow seat for newborns, 2)Facing-in wide seat for older babies, 3)Facing-out narrow seat for babies with head control, 4)Back carry wide seat for older babies & toddlers. I was a little skeptical because it was much cheaper than other carriers that we were looking at - but I would without-a-doubt make this purchase again! Now that Bennett has great head and core control, it's so easy to wear him (at this stage, I prefer wearing him in the front, with him facing out) when running into a store, and he loves watching everything! We too used this often when he was a newborn and in his first few months while taking Tucker for walks. Overall, a great buy! :)



Elephant Baby Teether - This wasn't the exact brand that we have, but it looks exactly like this elephant. I found these on the discount site, www.jane.com for $2.99 each while I was pregnant. I love that they're so easy for Bennett to hold, and they're safe for him to chew on. Another plus - his little soft elephant that he loves to play with (previously mentioned here) has a built-in pacifier strap and these elephants attach so well through the little heart hole. We have one in teal, baby blue and mint! 

Sophie the Giraffe - We received these as gifts for shower presents and the hype is true - these giraffes are great! For some reason, babies are obsessed! Bennett has been teething for a couple of months now, and we recently just introduced him to these. He loves that he can fit the whole smaller Sophie in his mouth and can easily hold on to her, and he also loves that he can hold the larger Sophie and nibble on her when he wants to. The larger one is also easier to find and grab while he's in the car seat, which is extremely helpful!
