Grey's World: Still More of Our Favorite Things

This is our last "Favorite Things" post for awhile...I promise!  I built my registry list from reading blog posts & reviews that I wanted to pay it forward.  You think I'd be done after 2 posts, but we just have so many things that help us out day-to-day or items that Grey loves!  This post includes random baby gear or items that we forgot to include in previous posts.  So here goes...















Our little guy has dry, sensitive skin.  We started out with Baby Aveeno, which was great for his sensitive skin, but it didn't quite take care of the dry patches he gets.  His pediatrician recommended Baby Eucerin, and it's worked wonderfully!!
















These have been great to use on your changing pad, pack-n-play, bassinet, Mamaroo, car seat, etc.  You name it.  You can use these in it.  They're fabulous for protecting fabric covers and wash up great!

















We originally purchased this cart to use next to his changing pad/dresser in the nursery, but we ended up bringing it downstairs to hold items next to his pack-n-play/changing station.  
















This high-tech contraption takes the place of a bouncer & swing.   It's crazy cool with it's multiple different movements and sounds.  To top it all off, it can all be controlled through an app on your smartphone.  Now I must admit that I haven't found a need to use the app...but it's still super cool.  I have heard of moms with more than one child using the app when their hands are tied with one of their other children.  Grey didn't initially care for this too much, but he does like it quite nicely now.  He loves car rides, and "car ride" is one of the movements you can choose.  Score! 
















Love that this diaper bag has lots and lots of pockets (interior & exterior) and a pull out changing pad...and it barely looks diaper bag-isa! 













We haven't used the monitor a ton in the first 3 months given that Grey still sleeps in our room.  We did use it while visiting family over Christmas, and it worked great!  It has a great color screen for daytime and a decent picture for nighttime too.  You can control the camera from the video screen, which is super convenient.  I'm sure we'll use this more in the coming months. 

















UPPAbaby Cruz Travel System with Mesa Car Seat

This has been a fabulous travel system to date!  The Cruz base is so lightweight, easy to turn, and crazy simple to open/close.  The Mesa car seat has been great too - super sturdy.  The only bad thing I can report is that I wish the canopy had an extender, as the sun often gets in his eyes.

















We tried a few apps out in the beginning and decided upon this one.  It's very customizable via the settings option.  It tracks diapers, sleep, feedings, baths, meds, etc. It also graphs out, averages & totals most of the items that you can track.  This makes it super easy to identify trends or report out when you take the babe to the doctor.  It even tracks vaccines, milestones and random notes that you wish to document.  Seriously love this app!!



Hope this has been helpful!  I'll post some additional favorites as Grey continues to grow.
Cheers!
