Day 8 of Things I Love: Tilley-Gray's favorite things

Having a baby changes (almost) everything, and thankfully there are a few things that I love because Tilley-Gray loves them. These make our days that much easier together. I promise I won't ever turn this blog into a baby blog, but I have had a few request on my favorite baby things, so here they are!

(aka the baby whisperer)
This thing works miracles. My house is pretty small and I can't stand clutter, so this is the perfect compromise between a baby swing and a bouncy seat. It does both and buys us extra time because it (typically) puts Tilley-Gray right to sleep. 


This is Grayson's favorite thing to do with Tilley-Gray. When she is fussy or just wants to be held but we have 100 things to do around the house, we put her in this carrier. It soothes her and lets us get things done . It's pretty much the cutest I have ever seen my husband look too. 



It's expensive, but totally worth it. I try and walk 3 or 4 miles a day with Tilley-Gray so I use this more than almost any other baby gadget we have. Once she is a little older, I'll be able to jog with her. It's the Cadillac of strollers, trust me.

In the hospital, I was kind of psycho about Tilley-Gray only being swaddled in her Aden + Anais blankets. I think the nurses  I had been given so many and they were so much prettier than the hospital blankets. Serena and Lily has their own line of Aden + Anais blankets that are my favorite.

Tilley-Gray is getting so big and strong (she is officially out of new born clothes) and has started to love her Bumbo chair. You can't tell in this photo, but she typically squeals when she is sitting in it.

  2. Bjorns are the best! (I used to cook that way with Henry). Also love your hallway wallpaper - what kind is that if you don't mind me asking? Would love to see more pictures of your home!

    Thanks!

  3. I hate clutter too! What are you using to store Tilley-Gray's toys and gear? My son's toys and gear are taking over my house!

    1. Hey Tamara! I keep all of her toys in cloth bins by 3 Sprouts. She isn't mobile now, so I'll let you know how they work out!

  4. Lindsey,

    What type of Baby Bjorn do y'all have? There are some conflicting reviews online. The original vs. the active vs. the synergy, etc... Thanks for your insight!

  6. I have to agree on the Baby Bjorn, we have the original and love it, although I barely ever wore it as my other half always insisted on "wearing her!" We have a pink bumbo, and I would recommend getting the tray to go on it if you don't already have it for when she gets a bit bigger for putting on her toys or using as a travel high-chair! Great favourite things!
