6 Month Baby Favorites!!!

IMG_6595My sweet Ava is over 6 months old already and I wanted to check in with you all to give you a bit of an update about what she’s been loving lately! Just this past week, she can sit up for a decent amount of time, she’s starting to “rock” to get ready to crawl, and I feel like she plays 10 times harder than before!6 Months
Ava is an excellent night sleeper, typically fights daytime naps, is not a fan of avocado despite my high hopes (she’ll come around, eventually! :)), loves sweet potato, and babbles “da-da” all day long! She steals our heart more and more everyday!


6 Month Baby Favorites // girl about columbus

EATING:

Our favorite bottles? Tommy Tippee and Comotomo are both amazing, especially for breastfeeding mamas. This bottle warmer fits ALL sizes of bottles. Ava just started solid foods as of 6 months and we are loving this highchair – it comes with great reviews, it’s easy to clean, and it’s semi-stylish as well. If you’re thinking of making your own baby food – I highly recommend the BEABA Babycook – it’s so easy to use and clean.

PERSONAL CARE/HEALTH:

We still use and love this bathtub because it grows as Ava does! I’ve also became obsessed with using this lotion before bedtime. It lasts all night and she still smells so good come morning time! We use these diapers for daytime as they fit Ava the best (the less blowouts, the better!!!) and these diapers for nighttime. We use this shampoo/body wash and it smells so good. Also – the Target brand of wipes are the best – and you can’t beat the price! Poor babe picks up quite a bit of germs from other kiddos these days and we’ve definitely relied on this nasal aspirator, this humidifier, these Boogie Wipes to help Ava be more comfortable while her immune system builds up. Everyone says babes have to get their immune system somehow – hoping our lil’ girl is less sick come school time!

PLAYING:

Ava plays so, so much and sooo hard these days! She’s into everything and loves anything new and that makes a sound. She lives for this activity jumper, this play piano, and I swear her favorite toy right now is this puzzle mat – girl loves some tummy time and is starting to learn how to crawl!!! My husband bought her this swing and she doesn’t stop smiling and screaming when she’s in it! She’s also pretty into Sophie as a teether these days (totally worth the $, as we’ve found out)!


6-month-baby-favorites-clothes

CLOTHES/ACCESSORIES:

I’m a huge babyGap fan for Ava! I also love Old Navy, Target and Carter’s. For special occasion/nicer clothing, I adore Tea Collection and Baby Boden. For hair bows, Ames Olivia, Free Babes Handmade, and Hello Miss Gorgeous are just darling. The cutest place I’ve found for bibs and burp cloths is Little Unicorn. I still love our swaddle blankets from A Little Lady Shop. For shoes, check out Freshly Picked and Wee Little Piggies!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my baby girl!!! 🤍✨🤍 Happy 3rd Birthday to my baby girl!!! 🤍✨🤍
Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day starte Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day started but certainly not how it ended 😆! We had two exhausted kiddos (& parents!), tummy aches (& more) from too much candy, & lots of meltdowns along the way! 🌸 Holidays are FUN & oh so memorable... but it’s always great to get back to the regular routine! 🤍😊 #easter
E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remem E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remember a few weeks ago when I showed you guys some things I was going to gift the girls for Easter? Well, I’ve decided since Ellie’s bday is so close to the holiday this year, I’m splitting up the goodies, gifting half on her bday & half on Easter. Less is more this year! We just don’t need all the STUFF. Mamas, you know what I saying here right?? 🤍🤍🤍 also found those cute baskets on @etsy ... I’ll link them but found them bc of @themamanotes ! I can’t take credit for this find but they sure are CUTE!
What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? ✨ My go-to shops are: @glamfete @ellieandpiperco @fancyfreefinery @shopsweetlulu & @amazon 🤍✨ currently planning Ellie’s bday which is just around the corner! #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday
Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun act Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun activity for the girls - white glue, shaving cream, & food coloring! 🌈 Really though, I should be working on our tax return since the one month countdown is on! I always seem to wait until the last minute! Anyone else?! 🙈 This year, if you plan to put any of your refund into college savings, I’ve partnered with Ohio’s 529 to share the benefit of saving for college in a 529 account rather than a traditional savings account. That’s because all contributions and earnings grow tax-free in a 529 plan, meaning your money will go farther compared to savings in a traditional, low-interest savings account. SWIPE to see a cool graphic they put together to show the difference it can make over time!
DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last yea DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last year was sooo simple! We picked up white eggs from the dollar store, painted them, and then hot glued them to a styrofoam wreath! 🐣🌷✨ #easterdiy #diy #easter #eastereggs
