Motherhood Mondays: {Two} 4-Month Essentials

While I’m still new to this whole mommyhood thing – and do not consider myself an expert by any means – I’m learning what works for us, and  I’ve found that these items make life with a 4-month old a little easier.

  • carrier | BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Active | Though I initially found this carrier to feel a bit bulky when she was smaller, I can’t say enough good things about it now. Baby girl loves hanging out in it (no pun intended). She’s so alert, curious and into absolutely everything, and this carrier allows her to feel more involved while keeping my hands free… which means fun times shopping at Target and mommy & me afternoon baking sessions (don’t worry, I don’t get anywhere near the oven while she’s with me). This model in particular is made for the parent on the go and provides additional back support making it extra comfortable.
  • jumper | Fisher Price Go Wild Jumperoo (similar here) | There’s nothing this momma needs more first thing in the morning than a snuggle with my little one and a big cup of coffee. However, I don’t want to drink hot coffee while holding her because there’s always the possibility, especially with how active she is now, that I can spill it on her. So we’ve created this fun little routine where I prepare my coffee as soon as she’s done feeding, and I place her in the jumper…allowing me time to enjoy my coffee while still being able to interact and play with her without the worries of  spills. This jumperoo in particular has different sounds and settings and so many way she can interact. She loves it!
