Toys for my Tot

 Pants from Babies R Us, Onesie from Baby Gap

Attacking Ralphie aka Crinkle Monster

Bear loves his tummy time. We decided not to go for an activity mat and make one of our own. We have a lot of toys and a car mirror he loves. He sees himself in it and attacks it.
One thing that he really really loves are Ring-A-Links.  I would have never bought because they seem simple. My friend had gifted us with these wonderfully simple toys. We attached some on his stroller, our bedroom, his pack n play, and anywhere else he may go. He can chew and pull on them. We link them to his car seat with his pacifier attached to it. So when he tosses it we still keep it. Bear even likes to hold one around his knuckles.

This is the first swing we started off with as the Bright Stars portable swing. Bear could not quite keep his head up yet, and with his acid reflux had a bit of trouble using it at first. Now that his head is strong he loves this swing. We put on some music and a light that changes color to let him chill. He can also sit and watch me cook in the kitchen or relax in the bathtub. The swing he has loved from the beginning is the Fisher-Price Papasan cradle swing. It cradles as oppose to sitting straight up. It has dangling stars and moons, and a mirror to check himself out. Bear takes a nap in it sometimes. It was great when he was fussy from reflux to put him in it. It calmed him almost immediately. He does not lay flat but at an angle which they suggest for reflux. 

You can change the swing to 3 different directions. He loves the side to side rocking.
