Hi Mamas,
I can’t believe I’m doing another post on baby essentials, this time for 3-6 month old babies. Your baby’s come a long way in their first 3 months but let me tell you 3 to 6 months has been unbelievably amazing, a lot has happened during 3 to 6 months of birth with my daughter.
Milestones after milestones. Evelyn began rolling, scooting, hopping, eating solids, exploring her surrounding, smiling, laughing, grasping, reaching, shaking rattles, making sounds. Her milestones just keep growing. It has been truly an amazing motherhood journey.
I want to share my favorite essentials that has helped me and Evelyn reach her milestones. But before that, I just want to let you know never compare a child to another. Every child reaches their own milestones at their own pace. However, if you have a concern on your little ones developmental milestones let your baby’s pediatrician know.

I would leave Evelyn on the floor or on the couch while I cleaned but now that she’s scooting, she’s pretty much everywhere and can’t keep my eye on her while I’m cleaning so this playpen has been useful.

Evelyn enjoying her Jolly Jumper.
