Between a baby shower, gifts from friends and family, and the things you bought for your little one, you will accumilate A LOT of toys. However, most of them will have little impact on your child. These are items that seemed to have a direct cause and effect with helping my baby girl's developmental growth, organized by milestone.
Since my daughter is crawling and pulling herself up, I needed something that was tall enough that she couldn't vault over it, sturdy enough she couldn't pull it over, and weighty enough that she couldn't bulldoz it. For less than $30, this is what I came up with:
My husband is a stereotypical "Man's man" who insists he doesn't know how to cook anything besides Ramen, frozen pizza, and microwaveable chicken nuggets. I can ask him to make Macaroni & Cheese, and instead of reading the directions on the back of the box, he will blankly look at me and ask "How do I make this??"
Similar to trying to get your kids to do something, it's all about how you present the task.
This is a super easy and inexpensive meal that freezes great and can be made in large quantities. I do it often for church group when I need to feed a lot of people but don't want to break the bank. I got this recipe from a friend and no one know where it came from. If you know, please comment and I will give correct citation.
Get the cartoon book that is the best baby shower gift ever!
