I can’t believe my baby is officially a one year old! I had been planning her Classic Winnie the Pooh themed birthday party since February, with big plans to make this the best day for her. Joanie has loved Winnie the Pooh and I fell in the love with the colors and vibe of the vintage Pooh characters, so I knew that’s what I wanted her theme to be. All of our friends and family would be here to celebrate, or so we thought.
With all of us self-quarantined for at least 14 days, I know many of us moms are struggling to find indoor and stay-at-home activities to do with your baby & toddler to help stimulate them and keep them from getting bored playing with the same toys all day.
Where has the time gone!? Joanie just turned 11 months old, and I thought it would be a good time to do a round up of our favorite baby items since Joanie turned 6 months old. Everything on this list are items/toys that we all use daily. I’ll go into more detail about each item below, and hope it gives you some great ideas of things you could use for your baby in the 6-12 month range, or as a gift to a mama or mom to be.
This room has been in the making for so long, and now that Joanie is 10 1/2 months old, her room is finally finished! Better late than never, right? At least I finished it before her 1st birthday! We moved into our home when Joanie was 4 weeks old, and hadn’t bought her any nursery furniture or decor yet since we didn't want to have to move it. I’ve been slowly collecting furniture and decor over the past few months, and I’m so excited to finally share this space with y’all! It’s hands down my favorite room in our home.
With Valentine’s Day next week, I wanted to put together a a gift basket for Joanie since it will be her very first Valentine’s Day. I had so much fun putting this basket together, and I’m excited to share the details of it with you! Most of these items I actually already had for Joanie, and decided to gather up her pink or love themed items for this collection. She’s not going to know the difference at only 10 months old, so I can get away with it this year. :)

If you’re not familiar with what Montessori is, it’s an educational program that focuses on learning through play using toys that are designed to meet the child’s developmental needs. Since these toys provide just the right amount of challenge, it helps foster growth mindset and confidence among children.
Happy New Year! No better way to kick off 2020 than turning 9 months old today! I can’t believe in 3 short months, my April fools baby will be a year old! Joanie has been my biggest blessing this past year, and I can’t imagine my life without this sweet girl! A lot of changes have happened since her 6 month update, so keep on reading to check out the most recent updates.
This may be my favorite gift guide so far! I’m beyond excited for Joanie’s first Christmas and I wanted to share some of my favorite baby toys— we own some of them, and others are on our wishlist! She’ll almost be 9 months old by Christmas (time slow down!) and I feel like she can really grow with all of these toys.
