Purchases/New Things

[gdaisy09]

we got some window clings for the car. and we had to buy the angle adjuster for the diono carseat.

DoesItComeInPink, I've been an apple product user my entire life (literally the first computer I used was an Apple2), so my recommendations are limited to whichever apple product has the power you need (H and I each have an 11" Macbook Air(bought refurbished to save $$) and a 27" display that we plug into for more screen space to work with.

I know most of the baby proofing has been done for all of us, but I found these safety locks and was so excited about them. We used them for the first time this week and I wish I'd found them sooner.

Safety Baby magnetic locks

Love these!

We bought a miracle 360 sippy cup. We'll have to see how it goes.

We bought C some new books. He loves his Alphaprints book - Colors - it's so funny, the instant I start reading it to him he focuses and even tries turning the pages. He likes being read to in general, but LOVES that book. So I bought a couple more by the same author. MH picked out some Dr. Seuss books for him.

We just picked up another baby gate for the kitchen and railing guards to cover the wrought-iron railing upstairs that makes me nervous every time I look at it.

I also bought a couple pairs of jeans, some leather boots and a sweater.

Time to stop spending money for a while

geners we have a wrought iron railing upstairs too. What are these guards? We are nervous she's going to get stuck.

There was a huge consignment sale in our area, and we picked up a jogging stroller, some winter bibs/jackets, and my parents got a bunch of toys for their house.

mistabinx, we also just got a new tv stand that hides cords/boxes and it's amazing how much better it looks and how much less tempted A is to even go over there.

I literally feel like I just constantly have an Amazon order coming. Often there's a box on my doorstep and it's a downright mystery until I open it because I have no recollection of what I've ordered. FFTC?

Same. This was especially bad in the early postpartum days when I was nursing around the clock and making half-asleep purchases on my phone at 3am. I was amazed at some of the things that showed up.

For once I don't have anything to add here. I did get some stuff from the children's place but it was all boring. Socks and pants. Yay.

I got a small merit bonus for being awesome at work. DH send to spend it on myself so I got a purse (I have the summer version and love it) and hat. We went to target yesterday because it had been suggested to get a new toy from when M wakes up from the endoscopy (I got her the B. clip on toy with a bunch of attached balls And a teether. She loves them) and $100 at Target later everyone else had a surprise- Clara a matching hat to mine and a squishy rubber dinosaur. DH legos... Hey DH, at least it wasn't my idea

Amazon is a blessing and a curse. I have the same mysterious box problems as you guys!

+1. H & I get home around the same time each day and he'll ask, "what did you order this time?". I just shrug and say "who knows!" It's like forgotten treasure!

byjove, hooray for merit bonus!! Is that purse from J. Crew? I saw one on parenting that looked the same from there and liked it a lot.

I finally ordered the Graco 4ever yesterday after much waffling and strong recommendations for it. I can't wait for it to come in on Monday!

You'll love it! So much easier than dealing with the bucket seat.

Yes. I like the summer version without the little doo-hickey better in some ways (and it was half the price!), but I think the fuller grain leather is better for fall/winter. They have it in a bunch of colors. I carry the little bag every day. It's a nice cross-body to keep things seperate, but don't feel silly carrying it and the diaper bag. I give it two thumbs up!
