Products that I love:
1) Boogie Wipes. These wipes are awesome. I bought a package at Babies R Us. It was $3.99 for a package of 30. They have saline in the wipe, so it makes wiping Jake's nose so much easier. It is great for removing the nasty dried up crusty junk. You don't have scape or scrub. Pretty much just 1 swipe removes it all. Much softer than a tissue.
2. Evenflo To-Go Highchair. I've been debating on what kind of high chair to get since I was pregnant. We don't have a lot of room, we're already flooded with so many big bulky baby items in our house, and we never actually eat at our kitchen table. But, Jake had outgrown the Bumbo, so we needed something. We were in Babies R Us and saw this highchair on display. We initially loved it because we thought that we could use it this fall at the RV. It was going to be Jake's tailgating chair. Once we got it home though, we really feel in love with it. It is small & compact, so it is easy to put out of the way. Plus it folds up so it is easy to transport. It is nice because we can move it to whatever room we need it in. We've taken it to friend's houses for parties, to the park, outside, etc... It is great because Jake can be right there with us, but still out of way. I read some reviews where parents complained that the tray was too small. What are you feeding your kid? A steak dinner?!?! I think that the tray is a perfect size. Jake loves eating puffs directly from it! We did have to remove the center leg separator from the tray. Jake's thunder thighs weren't fitting, but it was easy to remove. Just had to take out 2 screws. Considering it was less than $50, it has been one of our best purchases.

Product that was a disappointment:
1) The Ultimate Crib Sheet. Changing a crib sheet is so hard. Especially if you also have a bumper pad. I had read about this product & thought that it would be life saver. It works okay, but the corner straps don't fit around the corner posts of Jake's bed. His corner posts are too wide. If you put the corner straps around another panel, then the crib sheet is all wrinkled and doesn't lay flat. We still use it, just because I hate changing Jake's crib sheet more than once a week, but overall, this is not worth the $20 price tag!
