Practical Things!

Here is a list of some practical things we need:

- Bathing chair or support for when Sam gets older
- Bottle drying stand and brush
- Sunscreen
- Baby Tylenol
- nail clippers (& someone to cut his nails!! This makes me nervous)
- 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.
