<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mine was given to me as a gift. I’m one lucky girl- my
grandmother must love me A LOT! This model, in particular, is not the cheapest
on the market, but in my opinion worth every penny. It is not offensive to my
no-nonsense style & it is Tough. Ryan goes everywhere with me & my
family, and this travel system has proven invaluable. Whether it a stroll thru
the mall, milling thru an outdoor festival, or jogging with me— it will go
anywhere! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A few key points to make:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The pumpkin seat locks in place on top of the stroller,
facing the driver, for when LO is small –AND, a five-point harness keeps baby
secure for riding without the car seat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is excellent & easy to access without disturbing a sleeping baby.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Very excited- This travel system fits in my Jeep
Wrangler! *You may want to try it out for yourself before leaving the store,
but with the push of one button the front wheel comes off & I can’t imagine
it not fitting anywhere if it fits in my Jeep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That being said, I shopped around & found nothing on the
market that compared to this one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I vowed that life would not change when I had a baby &
the Jive makes it easy to go-- This all-terrain vehicle is one I wouldn’t give
back! Most importantly, Ryan likes it & when she’s in it, she’s safe </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03764162990367218275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206276324804563609.post-32789194959165263892012-08-03T13:29:00.000-07:002012-08-03T13:29:19.483-07:00Baby Things We Couldn't Live Without<h2 style="text-align: center;">

<br />
*A few of our favorite things are listed below, along with why they got honorable mention. This may be helpful to those of you who find yourself shopping for a new little one of your own or a loved one.<br />
<h4>
Boppy Pillow </h4>
By far, the best invention ever! Ryan had acid reflux when she was born & sleeping on this little piece of heaven let both her & I rest through the night. It provided just enough incline for her to get peaceful rest. And, now that she is bigger- it serves well as support for her as she learns to sit on her own.<br />
<img border="0" name="enhShot" src="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-11226736dt.jpg" /><br />
<h4>
Kushies</h4>
These clothes are the greatest - these clothes were given to Ryan as a gift & will remain a staple in her wardrobe. Worth noting... they are hassle free to order over the web, provide a line of earth-friendly clothing, & have numerous options for preemies. Ryan was only 5lbs when we came home from the hospital. Most of the newborn clothes I had were still too big, preemie clothes were tough to find, and getting out to shop was the last thing on my mind.<br />

<h4>
<br />Fisher-Price Cradle Swing - My Little Snug-a-Bunny</h4>
A great baby shower gift! Perfect for when mom is at her witts end and baby needs some soothing or sometimes when you just need to have your arms free for a few minutes.<br />
<img border="0" name="enhShot" src="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-8353876dt.jpg" /><br />
<h4>
Bouncer</h4>
The bouncer is something I may have not considered a must have, until a close friend gave me hers. Long lasting fun for infants & gives parents a break so they can get a few things done around the house while entertaining the little one. <br />
<img border="0" name="enhShot" src="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-3280485dt.jpg" /><br />
<h4>
Graco Pack-N-Play "Erin"</h4>
We are still growing into all the uses this unit will have. I am a big fan of this one in particular because the changer is great-- sturdy & safe; it has excellent storage; the wheels make it easy to move around when need be; and the mobile is adorable. Oh, and did I mention it was reasonably priced? Gotta love that!<br />

<h4>
Eddie Bauer Heritage Tote Diaper Bag - Green</h4>
This has proven to be worth it's weight in gold, sometimes it can be heavy :). Lots of pockets, not too flashy, the strap is great because you can wear it as a messenger bag, and it matches everything & everyone who may be carrying it. I love it because it doesn't scream baby. Personally, I'm a sensible girl & don't believe that everything must do so. <br />

<br />
<br />
<h4>
Bath Books</h4>
This is one of our newest favorites. Ryan threw her first fit the other day when I tried to take it away & call quits on bath time... she was getting prunie! I've heard from friends that their little ones have had the same reaction.<br />
