This is the gate we have on our stairs, and you can see all the things we did to babyproof our home right here. Once they start crawling and cruising, it’s so important to make sure your home is baby proofed. We’re not super diligent with it just yet, but she’s getting used to it which is the main thing! My dentist said now that she’s starting to get her teeth, we could get her a little baby toothbrush, just to get her used to the motions and sensation of brushing them. Sage now has 4 teeth up top and 2 on the bottom. We tend to use those footed onesies for sleep more now, and these footless onesies are great for during the day. The onesies that came in super handy when she was younger that had the feet attached are no good now because she’ll be slipping and sliding around when she’s trying to stand. Now that Sage is learning to stand and cruise around, it’s really important that she can feel her feet on the ground. Other things we’re loving Footless onesies

It’s really well made and the wheels don’t move too quickly, so you don’t have to worry about it slipping out from underneath your little one. Sometimes she’ll sit in it and we’ll wheel her around the house, and sometimes she’ll practice walking with it (with our supervision of course). I really enjoy toys that allow me to interact with her like this. I’ve mentioned these stacking cups before, but they’re still a firm favourite! She’s actually starting to use them the way they’re meant to be used, and loves stacking them up and putting them inside each other. We’ll also allow her to watch ten minutes of Cocomelon while she’s in her activity saucer while I make her breakfast. We put Sage in this activity saucer in the morning and it totally saves us! It allows us to brush our teeth, use the bathroom, shower, you know… be humans. The boxes are specifically designed for your baby’s specific developmental stage.

THE HEALTHNUT ON WHEELS CODE
If you saw my 6-9 month must haves video, you’ll know we love subscription toy boxes (use code “NIKOLE” for 50% off your first month!) They’re great for taking the guesswork out of figuring out what to buy for your baby toy wise. He’s been through the ringer a little bit – he’s been chewed on and dropped more times than I can count – and she actually knows the word teddy now if you say it! Sage started getting really cuddly with stuffed animals around the 9 month mark, and she’s really gravitated towards her teddy. They’re also great for teaching colour matching! Sage loves these megablock legos ! My toes love them less when I’m constantly stepping on them haha, but it’s totally worth it for the amount of enjoyment it brings to Sage! This big bag is super affordable, and Sage is now at the stage where she’ll try to build them up and piece them together. These are the ones she’s currently obsessed with! Megablocks She’s a busy baby, that’s for sure, so her toys have really changed as of late.

Sage is now crawling and cruising everywhere.
