“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born I set you apart.”
Jeremiah 1:5

I share my baby essentials as a guide to hopefully provide some ideas and inspiration around useful toys and gear for each age range. These are the things we couldn’t live without!

Little Balance Box
The balance box was the only walker my daughter liked. Using the balance box helped her with her balance and within a month she began walking without any assistance. This balance box definiatley helped her with her balance and to let go of her fear.
Baby Shoes Boy Girl Infant Sneakers Non-Slip First Walkers
These are amazing! These shoes have a stretchy knit collar to ensure quick slip on. Evelyn’s feet sweat so much so these shoes keeps Evelyns feet cool and dry, the fly knitting upper is for high breathability that allows kids feet to stay cool and dry. Evelyn learned to walk with these shoes.Highly recommend! Tip: if your little one has chubby feet, size up!
Stride Rite Soft Motion Baby and Toddler Girls Adalyn Athletic Sneaker
These are another pair that Evelyn learned how to walk with. These shoes gave Evelyn good support and balance. Very flexible and comfortable for Evelyn.
Solly Baby Wrap
We are also still using the solly baby wrap. This wrap has been a saver when doing laundry or when we water the plants at grandmas garden.
Solly Baby Sleeper
I love the material of these sleepers. Solly baby sleepers are very lightweight and silky soft.
Burt’s Bees Baby Nourishing Baby Oil, 100% Natural Baby Skin Care
We have been using this product since she was a 2 months. After her shower I gently soften and soothe Evelyn’s skin with Burts Bees Baby Nourishing Baby Oil. It is pediatrician tested and contains no phthalates, parabens or petrolatum. Nurture babys skin naturally with Baby Bee from Burts Bees.
Finger Puppets for Toddlers.
Evelyn loves playing with these finger puppets. As I’m showing her each animal I name the animals and make the sounds and I put them on my fingers or sometimes on her little fingers. These are great for language development, motor development, social and emotional development.
Lovevery Play Kits
We’ve been loving the Lovevery play kits. I have a post Testing the 9-10 Months Lovevery Subscription Play Kit and Lovevery ‘The Thinker’ 11-12 Months Play Kit.
Travel Booster Seat with Tray for Baby
This was one of my 6-9 month favorites post. We are still loving and using this travel booster seat. We have taken it to the park and to grandma’s house when we go visit her. I already washed it in the washing machine and let it air dry. Still looks like new. We’ve had a good use to this amazing travel booster seat.
NumNum Pre-Spoon GOOtensils | Baby Spoon Set
We got these spoons when Evelyn was 9 months. We Introduce stage one pre-spoon first so Evelyn can get familiar to holding the utensil as it helps sooth her sore gums. Now we recently started using stage two spoon and she dips it and eats it. I like how these spoons are designed with a thicker, contoured handle to comfortably fit a child’s hand.
Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup
We recently purchased these trainer cups, we have been loving them. The handles are easy for Evelyn’s hands to hold. Evelyn drinks from them with no problem.
I hope you found my 9-12 month baby favorites to be a useful resource and guide for deciding on baby gear. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments below. I’d also love to hear what worked well for you in this stage.
