jbavolar says "Handy and easy to take with you!" about Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing

jbavolar — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 03:49:08 GMT

I got this swing as a gift for my baby shower and it got lots of use! I was able to put my son in it and take a shower with him safely in the bathroom. He loved the fish decorations and the flashing lights.

I never did get him to take a nap in this swing, but as far as awake time goes, this swing was very handy.

I took the swing out of storage when my son was 18 months old and he had such a re-newed interest in this item! He would call out the colors as the flashed, and count the fish. He also thought it was pretty fun to jump on his belly onto the swing. All in all, he and I both enjoyed having this swing!

jbavolar says "I loved this co-sleeper! " about Arms Reach Original Co-Sleeper

This Co-Sleeper came in very handy in those first few months when you can't stand to be away from your newborn baby. We never attached it to our bed, but rather used it like a rolling bassinet. Once my son would wake up, I would roll him into the living room, feed him, prop him up in the co-sleeper and oogle him while I ate breakfast.

We have cats, so we bought the canopy. Even though they sent us the wrong size, it still served it's purpose and gave us a little piece of mind that the cats would not try to find a new snuggle buddy at nighttime.

We traveled with this co-sleeper often, and it was always easy...until my son outgrew it! Now we use the pack n play and it seems so bulky, but neccessary!

jbavolar says "Get that energy out!" about Fisher Price Deluxe Jumperoo

jbavolar — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 03:28:31 GMT

I registered for this for my baby shower and would have purchased it myself if I did not get it as a gift. I feel jumping around in the jumparoo helped strengthen my son's legs and made him more aware of the effect he had on his environment.

He really enjoyed the music, but it would have been nice (for me) if there were some different tunes!

It does take up a lot of floor space and was a bit tricky to move in and out of the attic, but it is now stored away, awaiting the arrival of the nexy baby that will enjoy this toy!

jbavolar says "A Luxury worth paying for!" about Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor 1.8" Screen

jbavolar — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 03:17:33 GMT

I splurged on this monitor after I saw it at a friend's house and it is my favorite baby accessory! I can't wait for one of my friends to have a baby, just so I can buy this for them!

I love everything about it, but my husband finds that the indicator light is a little annoying when he is trying to fall asleep.

I get very little interference in my house, but my mother's wireless internet does cause some static.

jbavolar says "Awesome Ship! I loved the waterslide!" about Carnival Cruise Lines - Legend

jbavolar — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 02:57:42 GMT

This was our fourth cruise (second with Carnival) so we had some high expectations and we were not let down! The food was stellar, but I would have liked to have had lobster for both fancy-dress-up nights - not just the first night (I know - picky!).

The photos are always pricey to buy, but I thought $23 was excessively high, and we did not buy any.

The ship itself was nicely decorated and I enjoyed the "castle / fairytale" theme that was carried throughout the ship.

The rooms were spacious and the shower was probably the biggest we have had on a ship.

All in all, it was a great trip, with beautiful ports of call and we enjoyed ourselves.
