Ohh Baby! Day 10

You thought I forgot about ten didn't you? Nope.


I think she deserves a post of her own. I think it is so important to get a maternity and baby photographer. Time flies and you honestly forget to get really special pictures of you and your little one. Kristi Larson of Blueframe Photographics is amazing. She is super relaxed and patient - she knows kids can be alot of work. I have known her for a long time and was so happy to have her take pictures during my pregnancy and of Liv when she was born (and until now)! Check out her site.

If you poke around on her blog and site you may just see a few pics of Liv.

Ohh Baby! Day 7-9

Well the week caught up with me. As well as trying to get all the things done to assist with the shower, I got a cold. How lucky for me. But I did get a majority of what I had hoped to get done and the shower was a success.

So of course lets finish this top ten list today should we?

We love our stroller and it was made by Peg Perego, its the P3 Classico. Its very light and easy to use. Our only quirp would be that we can't rotate our handles so that baby can face towards us or away. I went to there site to find an image and found a fabulous new stroller, called the Skate. I wish this one had been around when we were purchasing ours.


Another fabulous book is Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey. I had read this book as a child and Liv loves it. We read it almost everyday. Cute story and classic illustrations.

We had purchase this Garden Chime toy by Lamaze for Liv and its so cute. It plays music and intices the child to interact with it. The music is cute and it lights up.

Ohh Baby - Day 4 to 6

Well...so much for that hey? Today is attempt at catch up - yet again!

When I saw the books by Ian Falconer named Olivia, about a colorful little pig I knew they would be a hit in our house. Not only does the feature character have the same name as Liv but the illustration and the stories are delightful! I only wish I could find more! My only fear is that Liv will think she is a pig...I know I know, silly momma!


You can check out the range of Olivia books here.


I had bought these slippers by Padraig for Liv in baby size and had comments on them everywhere. They were great as they stayed on her feet. They were warm for winter and cool for spring. They even wash up great! I need to go purchase the next size up!


They are all natural and Canadian made! How can you go wrong!


And finally to bring todays post to an end The Angel Brush. I have actually bought about 4 of these! They are great for teething and for ofcourse for brushing your infants teeth and gums. They are soft and rubbery and easy for little ones to handle. And you can freeze it for when they are teething.

Ohh Baby - Day 3

I am a bit behind aren't I? Three to be exact. So today is catch up day to get us back to where I should be! :)


First of all we bought these bottles by Green to Grow with the scare of BPA and Phthalates being in baby bottles. And we love them! They were so easy for Liv to change to. I must admit we were using glass bottles before - but they can be so heavy to lug around. I love the design with the little berry on the front and the fact is they are super easy to clean! I also loved the packaging the bottles came in - so cute! It was like a little milk carton. The more I learned about this company the happier I am that I purchased these bottles - such as the bottles to babies program.

Ohh Baby - Day 2

I LOVE the Splash bottle drying rack from Skip*Hop. So fabulous! We received it as a shower gift as well. We love how it keeps the bottles, rings, nipples and the brush all contained. It easily comes apart to clean and it is fairly compact.


Even if you don't have it full of bottles, its still looks like a piece of art! The designer in me says it has both form and function! Sweet.

Ohh Baby!

There is a baby shower coming up for us to attend and that got me thinking. What were the items I received that I loved? So the plan is to post for the next ten days coming up to the shower an item a day!

Today is day one! So here we go!


We received this wonderful mobile for Liv at her shower. Its by Tiny Love. It plays music with the best quality we have heard on any baby product so far! The animals are cute and colorful but modern enough they would easily fit into a modern nursery. Its easy to put together and now that Liv is too old to have the mobile hanging we have left the music player on her crib. She turns it on and loves the music.
