In case you missed it, we love Phil & Ted's Lobster highchair and the Aden + Anais burpy bibs.  We also love Green Toys.  We have several so I'll just tell you about a few of them today.  

My First Green Toys (TM) First Keys was one of Finley's favorite sources of entertainment when he was a wee thing.  He could chew on them and make lots of noise with them, and they were just perfect for him to use to practice mastering everything those cute, pudgy little hands could do because the keys are easy to grasp and lightweight.  These key rings are no new toy to the baby game, but the Green Toys key ring is made without BPA, Phthalates, or PVC.  They're also made of 100% recycled plastic, more specifically, recycled milk jugs.  Even the packaging is made of recycled material.  My personal favorite thing about this key ring though, is that each key has something stamped into it and one of them says "Do Not Duplicate".  Cracks me up every time I see it.  

My First Green Toys (TM) Stacker has been a big hit also.  It's a little different than your usual stacking toy, and I love that.  Again, it's made with no BPA, Phthalates or PVC and is 100% recycled milk jugs.  My favorite thing about this toy is that it doesn't have a center post, which seems so much safer to me.  Also, they stack in any order just like the old school stackers.  And of course, they come in recycled packaging.

The B. Baby Skipping Stones are another stacking toy.  They just have a slight twist on the original stacker in that each ring is a different texture and color.  They have a "pebble" on top that can be screwed on to the stacking post to keep the rings together.  The center post does seem a little dangerous to me, but it's Finley's favorite part of the whole toy, so he ends up getting to play with it anyway.  The rings can stack in any order and this set is also BPA and phthalate-free.  The tags are the cutest and also made of recycled paper and soy inks.  This set is made in China.

We also use the Green Eats (TM) Snack Bowls and Feeding Spoons.  I love the yellow color and they are, yep, you guessed it, made of 100% recycled milk jugs and BPA, phthalate, and melamine-free (which my dad will be very sorry to hear that melamine may not be safe) and come in 100% recycled packaging.  These are also dishwasher safe, and although the spoons seem a little short in the handle for me, they will be great for Finley once he's mastered feeding himself.  

And last but not least...

Finley loves his Green Toys (TM) Tractor.  It has the cutest fat little wheels, which is Finn's favorite detail.  The wagon is detachable, and of course, it's all made of 100% recycled plastic and is BPA, phthalates, and PVC-free.  I love that there are no metal parts (not even the axles) and that the orange color is made right into the plastic so there is no chipping or peeling of paint, decals, or coatings.  Another great feature for a germophobe like me: it's dishwasher safe.  And yes, it's packaging is 100% recycled and printed with soy ink.

All of the Green Toys (TM) products are made in the USA, which is my absolute favorite thing about them. 

We received the First Keys and Stacker in our monthly Citrus Lane subscription (expect a blog post about that in the future), my aunt gave us the Snack Bowls and Feeding Spoons, and Finley's Grandma and Grandpa Thornburg got him his Tractor during their cross country road trip to Washington state last summer.  So, I'm no expert on where to buy Green Toys (TM) at the best price, but I do know you can order them directly from their website if all else fails.  I did buy the B. Baby Skipping Stones at Target.  I think they were $8 - $10.  

Any of these are inexpensive items to buy for your own kiddos, or they all make great gifts!

I happen to love almost all aden + anais products I've tried to date, but these burpy bibs even surpassed their swaddling blankets for me.

 The burpy bib is a bib and a burp cloth.  And anything that serves a dual purpose is a good friend of mine.  I wish we had bought stocks in burp cloths before Finley's arrival.  Little did I know just how often and what large quantities this kid was going to douse us in after every feeding.   I'm talking three or four clothes changes a day...for each of us.  It really made getting dressed going out in public something we dreaded.  Okay, so maybe we actually dreaded getting dressed also.  Anyway, we struggled to find a bib that was comfortable for Finn, but big enough to catch everything that was coming back up to re-join us.  My sister gave us a cute one made by Darling Droolers.  The coverage was good, but we found the furry backing made Finn hot and it was too bulky to use when he was in the carseat.  Also, apparently a gray chevron pattern makes people think your baby boy is a baby girl.  Although we still have people thinking he's a girl (which I'm pretty sure is due to the long, curly locks at this point) so maybe that will be a blog for another day.
At about five months, the spitting up slowed down some, and once we started solid foods a little over a month ago, it has slowed down considerably.   He does still spit up after almost every meal, but it's not in super-soaker amounts anymore.  These burpy bibs would have been great for around the house in those first five months.  However, I think they would have also been too bulky in the carseat, and I'm not sure they would have been a stout enough burp rag. You basically needed a poncho to burp our boy.
Now, with less spit-up, they are perfect though.  I love how it fits just right over the shoulder for burping, and I love the cotton muslin material.  They are very absorbent, which is a must.
They are the best bib we've come across by far.  It gives complete 360 degree coverage, and is a "snap" to snap on.
Even Finn likes them!
(He said he put his little paw out there in case anyone reading this is in search of a baby hand model.)

We got our first burpy bib in our Citrus Lane monthly subscription box (another post on Citrus Lane later).
I ordered our others from Amazon.  Our first pick was the special edition RED set because 10% of the retail price goes to the Global Fund to fight AIDS.  (Side note: I was totally on the (PRODUCT)RED bandwagon fresh out of college--thought it was brilliant marketing--and am still sad that I rarely see any products anymore.)  Purchasing just one set of RED burpy bibs can provide five days of medicine to help prevent a mother living with HIV from passing the virus to her baby.

But beware, apparently red star and circle patterns also make your baby boy look like a girl.  Okay, maybe it's still just that he needs a haircut and we refuse to let him have one.
They come in tons and tons of cute patterns and I have seen them range from $11 to $27 for a two pack.

We give the burpy bibs five clean burpy bibs diapers!
