Toddler Favorites at 18 Months

Gabe is a toddler on the move these days, practically running everywhere he goes. This is such a fun age, and we can't get enough of our adventurous little bud! These are a few of the items helping us keep up with him at 18 months!


(1) Cozy Coupe - Gabe got this as a birthday gift from my parents, and it has been a huge hit ever since. He loves climbing in it, pushing it around, putting random toys in the cupholders, and going for rides in it all over the house!

(2) Re-Play Utensils - We love these forks and spoons. They're made from recycled milk jugs, are dishwasher safe, and the 8-packs are less than $3 at Target. Win-win-win!

(3) Klean Kanteen Sippy Cup - Gabe still isn't the best water drinker, but we can get him to drink the most water out of this sippy cup. The great thing about Klean Kanteen is their caps are all interchangeable, so you can keep using the water bottle as your kids transition out of using sippy cups. Hooray for reusability!

(4) Anywhere Chair - This was Gabe's gift from us this past Christmas, and it didn't take long for him to curl up in it with a snack and a book (or figure out it was another climbing apparatus—Lord help us).

(5) Halo Sleepsack - Not only does this keep Gabe warm at night, it signals to him it's time to sleep and he immediately wants to snuggle once we put it on. Another plus is that it keeps him from being able to lift his legs and climb out of the crib, which gives this mama some much-needed peace of mind!

(6) Booster Seat - We laugh because Gabe has always been convinced he's not a baby, since he flat out refused to take a paci, hated purees, and by the time his first birthday rolled around, was 100% over the high chair. He loves sitting at the table with us in this booster seat, and we love it too since it's so much easier to clean than a high chair!

(7) Resinol diaper rash cream - I feel like we've tried almost every diaper rash cream under the sun, but so far Resinol is the only one that does the trick when Gabe's bum gets irritated.

(8) Name Bubbles Labels - I found out about this company through an Instagram ad, and it was perfect timing since I was looking for some name labels for Gabe's sippy cups and snack cups. Since he goes to nursery at church every Sunday and a private home daycare while I'm at work, we needed to keep his things labeled. These are dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe, and so far they've held up really well!   

(9) Ball Set - Hands down, Gabe's favorite thing to do is be outside and throw these balls around with us. He's even starting to catch on that he's supposed to kick the soccer ball!

(10) Soopsori Fishing Set - I absolutely adore all of Soopsori's wooden toys! Gabe got this fishing set in his stocking for Christmas, and it's a great toy for developing fine motor skills.

(11) Lovey blanket - My sister-in-law gifted this Bunnies by the Bay security blanket to us while I was still pregnant, and it has been so cute to see how much Gabe loves it. He snuggles it, chews on it, and now sleeps with it at night and during naptime.

(12) God Gave Us You - This is one of the favorite books in the rotation right now, in addition to Pout Pout Fish, Go to Sleep Little Farm, and any lift-the-flap or touch-and-feel book.

Mamas, would love to hear a few of your favorites for this age!
