9 baby essentials

this list is definitely expected to grow/change, but for now these are 9 things i'm most glad we have:

1.  jumperoo (it's amazing how much she loves this)
2.  breast pump (just makes things a lot easier)
3.  travel changing pad (absolutely necessary)
4.  pacifier with clip (especially because picking up and sanitizing a pacifier that falls in dog hair 20x a day is NOT fun)
5.  giant swaddling blankets (perfect for helping her feel safe and warm; she falls right to sleep)
6.  glider (relaxing for the rocker and the rockee)
7.  teddy bear with soothing sounds (the heartbeat really soothes her)
8.  baby bjorn (nice to be hands free!)
9.  bottle drying rack (bottles have so many little pieces!)
