Activity Gym

It's been a long journey finding an activity gym that isn't a eye sore for me. Finally based on a recommendation from a like-minded friend - I discovered Skip Hop. And there I found what I've been looking for - the Treetop Activity Gym! It's covered with plush owls (which if you know me...you're already aware I am obsessed with) and a leafy tree graphic that looks very similar to that on our bedding. It couldn't get much closer to perfect than this...at least not for me. Love it.

Personalized Baby Growth Chart

When I saw this growth chart from InkTreePress, it was so perfect for our nursery that I couldn't get over it.

What I love so much about this growth chart is that it matches the animal theme that we have planned for our nursery. And, the customization of adding the baby's name is such a cute touch. It even comes 8 colorway options - one of which is a yellow, orange, green and blue color scheme that will match our nursery decor perfectly (see below for that version).

The Best High Chair on the Planet

Anyone who starts looking around for modern baby stuff will quickly come across one brand that stands out...Stokke. The high chairs and cribs designed by this Norwegian company are amazing and look like nothing else you'll find. I fell in love the the Tripp Trapp the second I laid eyes on it. The perfect high-chair? It's possible.

Let me first say that I have friends who own this high chair and get annoyed quickly by the mess they end up with on their dining tables. This high chair has no built in try - baby eats at the table like a normal human being. I love the idea of having your baby closer while you eat...so I think I might be into the idea. The seat height is also adjustable and the weight of a full grown adult can be supported by this chair...so kids can sit in this chair well beyond babyhood.

The Walnut finish looks like it fits the bill and will closely match my dining table (I hope)!

This chair also has some cool accessories, including a table tray and patterned cushion.

Mobile Options

It's amazing the range in prices for nursery mobiles, especially when you're being picky like me. Here are 3 I love at different price points.

Migi Little Tree Mobile (which matches our bedding & valances) $45.00

Birdynumnumdesign Free as a Bird Mobile $180.00

Jungle Play Mobile (Organic Cotton) $60.00

Changing Pad Cover

This organic changing pad is a rare find. Most changing pads I've seen are terry cloth (tacky), but not this one. It's 100% organic jersey knit and comes in all three colors we're using in the nursery (fern green, cornhusk yellow and mineral blue). Now if only I could decide which color?

Owl Lamp Vision

Sadly, this owl lamp from Target is out of stock. It comes with a black shade which I don't love...maybe I would go with just a solid yellow shade. I'll keep checking to see if it comes back into stock.
