Tilly: 6 week favorites

Tilly is going to be 11 weeks old tomorrow...I go back to work in a week and a half!  All the emotions.  Here's a quick review of some of her </our> favorites from her first six weeks!  {also included, a major photo dump because I started looking for a few and couldn't stop.  She is just the cutest!}

Stats @ 6 weeks:
10 lb, 2 oz - 60%
23 inches - 92%

Favorite things:
Wubbanub - while we are currently going through a phase where wubba is nothing more than a small stuffed animal we're carting around everywhere, early on wubba was an absolute must have!  We briefly tried a normal pacifier, and found that is never stayed in.  She LOVED wubba though!  and so did we :) whoever thought to attach a pacifier to a stuffed animal was genius.  It stays so much easier, even at a super young age she would unintentionally sometimes hold it in place herself.  If it fell out it was easy to find, and bonus!  sometimes didn't even actually touch the ground, no need to run to the sink!  I'm all about anything that makes your life easier and your kid happier.  We started with the elephant and ended up running out to buy a second one, the frog!

Blooming Bath - I had a different tub on my registry which I'm sure we'll get good use out of as she gets bigger - but a girlfriend from work got us this one and we decided to try it out when we first brought her home.  Brilliant!!  It is SO easy to bathe her right upstairs in our small bathroom sink right before she goes to bed.  It also makes for adorable photo ops!  After her bath, you just hang it over the shower to dry and it's good to go by the morning! I especially love this photo of her in it - needless to say she's already got a bit of sass ;)

Aden & Anais Burpy Bibs - Ant's cousins just had twins and their biggest recommendation were these, so we went out and bought a couple....and love them!  We have three different styles of burp cloths, and obviously all of them do the job, but these are so well designed!  They go over your shoulder nicely, and cover everything when she's in the carseat.  Like all aden & anais, they are also cute!  This is the perfect "typical" Tilly in her first six weeks.  Wubba? check! Burpy bib? check!

Sollybaby Wrap - a repeat MVP from our Charleston post, but one worth noting.  In addition to using it for walks with both my babies - the Sollybaby wrap gets lots of use around the house!  If she's just being a little fussy, I wrap her up and carry her around with me while I'm getting stuff done around the house, she usually ends up napping!

Swing - the first week or so Tilly didn't get much use out of the swing and I was nervous it had been a bad choice for such a big item.  Then - tada!  It became the only place I could actually get her to nap. She regularly takes 1-2 naps a day in the swing...as long as she's swaddled up.  Girlfriend is a violent napper, and often wakes herself up...but luckily she's still small enough she can sit in the swing in the swaddle just fine.

Little Unicorn Swaddles - speaking of swaddles....not all swaddles are created equal!  We have a couple different brands, and while some of our others are adorable - they are not nearly as big as these little unicorn ones!  The extra large size is especially important with our little one who is ALL legs, and active legs.  In the hospital we had to double swaddle her because the hospital swaddles were too small - these do the trick!  I LOVE all three prints that came in the set we got.  So pretty!

So there ya go!  A few of our favorites from the first six weeks.  Below - I've got her "milestone" photos.  We decided to keep it simple and stick with a white onesie with her carpet as a backdrop.  After the disaster that the 4 week one was, we learned she's a little easier to photograph first thing in the morning :)
