Go to Babies R Us and get some kimono-style tops (Gerber) that snap across the front, plus footed pajamas (like carters) that snap in the front or zip up. Newborns poop and poop and poop so often that it isn't worth trying to put on onesies that pull over the head or to bother with pants. Things that go on and off quickly will be best until about 3 months when the poop parade slows down.

Chocofish - maybe you could spray paint the table with RustOleum?

I have a West Elm wool rug and it's the biggest big purchase I regret making for our home. The rug WILL NOT STOP SHEDDING. We've had it for two years and fibers either pop up and need to be pulled out or fuzz rolls off it like tumbleweeds. I absolutely abhor it, but my husband adores it, so I'm waiting for someone to ruin it by spilling something unsightly on it so we can chuck it. Maybe I should call BP?

jhill - how did you get the green carpet to stay down? Did you glue it, lay it flat like a carpet, or attach it some other way?

Ditto on the wanting to know where the oilcloth came from.

Is that an antique egg holder used as a cupcake holder or actual cupcake holder that looks vintage? love it!

Two words: first child.

we live in a small loft and her bedroom is literally 5 feet from ours and we still have a baby monitor that i wouldn't want to be without.

love to hear her breathing at night. love to hear her "talk" to us in the morning before she officially screams to be let out.

the best reason to have it: when she gets a fever and starts breathing more rapidly, i know something's wrong and have been able to help her.

plus, how else are you going to hear the poop grunt? :)

I registered on Amazon.com because you can add many of the toy brands listed above (Haba, etc.) on your registry, and they also have a function that lets you add products from other web sites like etsy, etc. (since they don't have registries). Plus then you can also register for tons of great books!

I registered at babiesrus and target for the basics - diapers, towels, etc. - so older non-internet savvy relatives and people who like to shop at big box stores would have something to get, and then was happy to discover a lot of people did shop my amazon registry.

good luck!

I really love the design, but almost think it looks like, um ... a memorial? Anyone else?

Avent bottle brush. Cool blue handle and doesn't look junky on kitchen counter. Very sturdy. Will last forever...

Haba Discovery Blocks. My daughter (now 8 months) has played with and mouthed these daily since 4-5 months.
