Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh | Top Five Toys Every One-Year Old Should Own
6/29/09 2:09 PM

Wow, I feel like the only mommy in the world who changes her baby on a changing table! She's 9 months and we've changed every diaper on it. I love the storage it provides and she loves looking at the pictures I put on the ceiling above it.

The pacifiers, Bumbo, Jumperoo, doorway bouncer and Boppy just sit in boxes...she hated all of them. You don't need to sterilize bottles or warm the wipes.

Best things we purchased: the Miracle Blanket, Maclaren Velo stroller and a $20 highchair from IKEA.

Most of our rooms are toy-free. She plays with her toys in her bedroom and they are put away each night before bedtime. We have one small basket of toys on a shelf in the den, but that's really it. I never wanted to have a house that was over-run by toys and kid gear. Kids really don't need the amount of stuff they seem to have these days anyway. We limit the number of things we bring into the house (for us and her) and that keeps our small house under control and organized.

~ Babybjorn Baby Sitter 1-2-3: invaluable!

~ Dr. Brown's natural flow bottles: a lot of parts, but well worth it. She's never had a gassy tummy.

~ The Miracle Blanket: she sleeps thru the night whenever we use it.

~ Amy Coe receiving blankets: the softest flannel on the market, won't pill after washing.

~ Cool mist humidifier: if you live in a dry, cold winter climate.

~ a TON of burp cloths: we use thick cloth diapers.

~ Snap & Go Stroller: don't waste your money on those huge travel systems, they're a pain.

~ Skip Hop diaper changing wallet, they make great diaper bags too

~ California Baby products

GOOD LUCK!

the baby bjorn babysitter is by far THE greatest item we have. i use it all the time...when i'm showering, she's in it in the bathroom with me, at night if she's fussy after feeding it puts her right to sleep, she watches me cook while sitting in it. it's light and easy to move all over the house and not ugly and plastic.

My favorite way to use fresh blueberries is in Ina Garten's tri-berry muffin recipe. Diced strawberries, whole blueberries & blackberries, unsalted butter, flour, raw sugar, eggs, cinnamon, kosher salt, baking soda & powder is all you need for warm, yummy heaven.

It's a tie between the Cuisinart food processor and the All Clad slow cooker.

The spices, cereal and stuff on top of the fridge is throwing me off but it's a cute place.

Before I take a bubble bath at home I have to clean the hell out of the tub, which is why I don't take baths in hotels or when I'm a house guest. (I also can't drink milk unless it's from my own fridge...so maybe I'm weird.)

Too. Much. Stuff. for my taste. I wouldn't have included a pic of the balcony, it needs more cohesion and style. But I like the kitchen appliances!
