Cr...Oddly, we don't use a lot of these things! Crazy. 1. We do a lot of Smart Taste pasta -- Harry seems to like it and I have a similar no guilt feeling about it. 2. We should probably look into Deceptively Delicious, given Harry's recent pickiness when it comes to foods. 3. For restaurant dining, we tend to either use his booster seat with its own tray or just hope for the best. 4 and 5 aren't really needed with cloth, we've found. Harry hasn't had diaper rash ever, really. And we just add a stuffer to his pockets for overnight. 6 and 7. As for take n toss and suction plates, we bought some of each but haven't used them yet but definitely will. 8. And we may need to investigate some of your uses of Aqua.phor -- we mainly used it for windburn protection for his cheeks.<br /><br />Some of our favorite things: that music table that's been mentioned before; our crockpot; our many Nuby sippy cups; Harry's <a href="http://www.angeldear.net/cuddle/1104_lion_c.php" rel="nofollow">lion blankie</a> (of which he has four -- daycare, car, crib, and spare); YoBaby yogurt; <a href="http://www.wildflowerdiapers.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=7033&idcategory=337" rel="nofollow">terry wipes</a>, which we do use for wipes, but we also have a second set we use for meal clean up, etc.; and, finally, <a href="http://www.edys.com/brand/loaded/flavor.asp?f=2712&b=1417" rel="nofollow">Edy's loaded chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream</a>, just because it's awesome.K @ ourboxofrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05633428907297371867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-42709077654568399742009-09-29T18:05:35.351-07:002009-09-29T18:05:35.351-07:00Thanks for delurking.

We rarely have bad diaper rash with Will, but when it does happen, it's nice to have something in the arsenal.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-80767460466207723262009-09-29T16:14:35.893-07:002009-09-29T16:14:35.893-07:00I lurk a lot.

As far as diaper rash goes - the serious, nothing makes this better, don't know what else to do kind of diaper rash... you have to buy Sensi-Care Protective Barrier. I think it is the one with a 3 on the tube. Not cheap and we have to buy it at the hospital pharmacy (over the counter)... but there is nothing better. My little girl has the most sensitive skin - even at 17 months we still use a blow dryer to dry her off after every diaper change! Anyway, we really love Sensi-care. Hence the overly long rant about how great it is. No scent, sticks great to the spots that are raw, and WORKS!Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-35709107626581189202009-09-29T08:34:36.371-07:002009-09-29T08:34:36.371-07:00I love Barilla whole wheat pasta, too!

And Aquaphor is the best invention ever. :) Right there with you.<br /><br />We cannot live without the NUBY sippy cup at the moment. That thing is pure genious and so easy for L to use. I also love the "Top 100 baby purees" recipe book and my Cuisinart miniprep food processor. Those are the things I currently couldn't live without. :)<br /><br />(PS-I love you. Just wanted to say that. We def need to chat on the phone, I am going to email you my phone number)Mazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914742489846963185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-15193687167082970842009-09-29T08:07:06.340-07:002009-09-29T08:07:06.340-07:00We have a push truck that Elizabeth thinks is the ...We have a push truck that Elizabeth thinks is the greatest thing ever.

I haven't been using it as much over the summer, but I have already fired it up twice this week. . . and it's only Tuesday!<br /><br />And I most definitely have stroller envy. . . I would love a Bob, though I confess that a Phil & Teds is calling to me lately as I start thinking of #2. I like the stadium seating vs. the side-by-side of the Bob. Do you have any friends with the P&T? How would you say they compare?<br /><br />I am with you on the Leap Frog music table. I also will say that it seems to be the one certain version (with the slide trombone) that entertains kiddos the best.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-49566238034838319442009-09-29T04:25:14.953-07:002009-09-29T04:25:14.953-07:00Under my #2 I meant "bib" not "big....Under my #2 I meant "bib" not "big." :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248665952867223815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-37497844697734079482009-09-29T04:24:05.123-07:002009-09-29T04:24:05.123-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248665952867223815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-50960171358700137062009-09-29T04:23:13.556-07:002009-09-29T04:23:13.556-07:001.

I have used these in the past, and like them, but I'm lazy. Now I just use my wipes and a travel can of Lysol. LOL<br />4. LOVE Burt's Bees, but I swear by original A&D ointment. I don't even use the zync added stuff...the smell isn't great, but there's a reason that stuff has been around for ages. It works. The other thing that works is letting E&R (especially E) run around without a diaper occasionally. Sometimes messy, but the air does his bum a world of good.<br />5. AGREED. Big time.<br />6. Me too. <br />7. I must get some of these. Thanks for sharing.<br />8. Another agreed. That stuff is expensive, but one tub will last FOREVER. We're still on our first tub after a year! <br /><br />My must haves?<br />1. My crock pot<br />2. Bumkin Junior Bibs - cannot say enough good things about these!!! LOVE 'EM! If your kid won't wear a big, try them. They are virtually escape proof and like a big giant smock. They even kept birthday cake of my twosome, and they got that stuff EVERYWHERE!<br />3. Baby Gap socks. (Or Old Navy.)<br />4. Robeez shoes, though mine are starting to outgrow them. They stay on well, and are easy for them to walk in.<br />5. My BOB Revolution (Duallie.) Oh.My.God. If you check this out and think "What the...? I'm not spending that for a stroller!" Do it anyway. You will never regret it. I love my BOB BIGTIME. <br />6. That music table. You know the one. Everybody has it who has babies and toddlers. I think it's made by Leapfrog? Anyway, I don't think we'll EVERY find another toy that we get so much mileage from. Crazy fun for the kids. And now they are using it as a push toy. Will the uses ever end?<br /><br />I'm sure there are more. But this comment is long enough as it is.<br /><br />Thanks, Katie! xoTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248665952867223815noreply@blogger.com
