ONE The Baby Jogger City Lite is FANTASTIC. I love this stroller. It is so smooth and lite weight. The canopy is HUGE and actually blocks the sun from Harper’s eyes. There are two big peep windows so that you can check on your babe and make sure that he or she is ok. The basket is a little on the small side, but in all of our stroller-using years, I rarely ever use the basket anyway. I got the parent console to go on our stroller. It holds my drink and I can put my phone, keys, and the rock collections that inevitably come with us inside. Baby jogger just came out with a new console that looks even better.
TWO This Fisher Price Learning Home was a gift to us from a lady in our church. Harper absolutely loves this thing. She is obsessed with opening and closing doors, so she stays entertained for a long time. It plays lots of music and leaves her grooving along. It is adorable. Chloe and Addison even have fun playing with this. They climb on it and flip it around, and it is still sturdy as can be. It is not the most aesthetically pleasing toy, but so much fun for Harper. That is the whole point of toys, so I count it a major win!
THREE We bought this Radio Flyer Walker Wagon for Harper’s first birthday. It is AMAZING. She walks back and forth through the house and cracks up laughing the whole time. She goes and goes until she crashes into something. We turn it around so that she can be on the run again. She loves to throw toys and whatever she can get her hands on inside.
FOUR These Munchkin cups are the best!! The lid screws on and can’t be popped off. It is harder for her to dump her snacks all over the floor, and often knocks some of them out of her hand. If you have a one-year-old, you know why this is a huge plus. Those chubby fingers cram as much as possible into her mouth. I love the sweet ballerinas on Harper’s cup, too.
FIVE I also love these Lansinoh mOmma cups. Harper is just learning to use a straw. They don’t leak too much (seriously, is there a cup that DOESN’T leak?) and they are adorable!!! I want a giant cup like this for myself.
SIX I love these Melissa & Doug chunky puzzles so much. We redeemed Pamper’s reward points to get this puzzle. The pieces are big and sturdy enough to withstand hulk-smashes into the floor, and being thrown across the room. They are easy for Harper to pick up. I want to check out some of their puzzles with the giant knobs. I really love all Melissa & Doug products. They are good quality, and SO good for teaching all of my kids.
These are just some of my favorites. Is there anything that you would add to this list? I feel like it has been forever since I’ve had a one year old. I love this age. There is so much learning and processing going on. I really can’t say enough about this age. It is probably my favorite age so far.
