Show Us Your Life - Baby Gear

i can't even being to tell ya'll how excited i am about this Show Us You Life Week that Kelly is hosting.

i'm a first time mom and my little boy is only 10 1/2 weeks old so most of my baby gear suggestions is geared towards newborns. but i did list a few things that i can't wait for Bryson to start using!!!

this is my #1 suggestion for ANY new mom. i don' think i could get anything done around the house if it wasn't for this Swing 'n Glider from Fisher Price. my aunt gave me this at my shower and i absolutely LOVE it. by the way i saw that diapers.com is having a closeout on this exact swing.

i have to admit that Bryson is not wild about the swinging feature, but he loves to glide. i think if i let him he could glide all day long. honestly, we put him in it 3 or 4 times a day and instantly he's drifting off to sleep :)

this is definitely a must have for any new mom!!!

the Boppy is also a must have. my husband and father-in-law have even used it!!! i even let Bryson take naps on it. it's a perfect fit for him.

this is also something that i could not live without. this Pack 'n Play by Graco has a built in bassinet and removable changing table. once Bryson was about 8 weeks old he started sleeping in this at night. it fits perfectly in our bedroom and it's very portable. we wheel it in and out every morning from our bedroom to the living room.

i'm not sure how long i plan on keeping him in it. does anyone have any suggestions? i think i might be one of those mothers who will have issues putting Bryson in his own room. but it's so easy at 2 in the morning when he's screaming to be fed and all i have to do is just reach over and pick him up. HA!!

i bought this playmat not to long ago and Bryson is getting to where he really enjoys laying on it and looking up at the toys and lights. he's even beginning to swat at some of the toys and he could stare at himself all day in that mirror.

i think this is something that might be a little too advanced for him right now. sometimes i think i'm trying to make him older than what he really is.

now these are some things i can't wait for Bryson to start using. i already have the Sassy Seat Doorway Jumper and a little birdy told me that Bryson's grandma is getting him the Baby Einstein Stationary for Christmas. and i can't wait for him to start watching the DVD's (i'm actually looking forward to watching these too)!!! i hope these will be things that Bryson can enjoy.

well since i am a new mom i would love to hear from all you veteran moms about your suggestions for baby gear. there is just SO much to choose from in the baby gear department and i don't want to spend money and have it go to waste on something that i just thought was too cute!
