TRANSPORT!

Sam likes to move about town. Although he prefers fire trucks and sports cars, these are some other methods Sam likes to use to get around:

Sling - Birth Source has some nice ones
Umbrella Stroller
A car seat for when Sam outgrows his bucket seat - I think at 22 lbs
Mirror for car so Sam can check out his handsome face and his parents can dote on him when they are at red lights!
Stroller Wheels for a Cheetah Chariot available at the United Cycle.

Clothes

Sam likes to wear many outfits a day!

Here are some of the things he needs for the next few months:
a sun hat
a summer jacket
pants and tops
muslin blankets - there were some cute ones at Birth Source

For the next seasons he will need some warmer clothes:
a winter snowsuit
pants and tops
carseat cover for winter months
sweater
fall jacket

Toys and Fun Things

- a rattle or shaker of course
- music machine for baby's room that can play iPod and CDs

- Webcam so Sam can talk to his cousin in Baltimore through SKYPE
- a baby book to keep track of Sam's early years!

- For when Sam starts to eat food we will need a sippy cup, utensils, plates
- Teething ring
- Safety gate
- clothes basket for all of that laundry
- diapers and wipes
- change table railing at 36 X 18

MOBILES!

From Etsy seller Pink Perch are the little woodland creatures and the feathered friends. These are a bit pricey considering they don't come with any sound effects!! I might be better off trying to make them. My friend Jamie said there are also cute mobiles at Bosom Babies in High Street, but I have not been to that store yet.




This is a fun one for girls! I love the little Matrushka dolls from lollipop moon at etsy.

Room Colour

After the name, probably the most important decision for a baby is the room decor. I made the window valence and crib skirt of out this cute fabric. The walls are a similar blue.



I know it is all blue! This is not indicative of a boy rather the room is super bright and I love that colour blue. It is the same colour as our kitchen walls and my old office at CKUA!









Here are some cute decals that I have purchased from lovemae.com through Etsy!

















The dresser, shelves, and crib are all a natural maple I think or blond wood.

High Chair

We are looking for a high chair that is wooden and can just clip on the edge of our table or to a chair. We don't have a lot of space for a big standalone high chair.
