I'm Kristin.  I am a wife, designer, Christian and for now a SAHM.  My husband and I are parents to three kids- Dylan Archer, Kyler Jude and Noelle Rose. Despite the name, this isn’t a mommy blog and you won’t find sponsored content here. My target audience is actually my children when they grow up if they wish to reflect on their childhood so everything I share has them at the forefront of my mind and secondly those who wish to follow along my journey. I created this space to document my family's adventures and lessons I've learned along the way.  The Mom Jungle is a modern interpretation of both the family newsletter and scrapbook.  

I call this The Mom Jungle because motherhood is fun and messy, filled with laughter and sometimes heartache… it truly is a jungle out there!

Must Haves: 9-12 Months

Must Haves: 9-12 Months

I'm wrapping up my baby "Must Have" series in this final 9-12 month instalment.  I hope you mamas of littles find it useful!

1.  SAFETY GEAR

Safety is a HUGE factor at this age.  Once they get moving, it is full-on-baby-proof mode!

2.  BOOKS

My son is enjoying story time more and more.  I love these Baby Lit books as they are strikingly illustrated and a simple take on the classics.  We are loving Moby Dick these days!

3.  FOOTLESS JAMMIES

Now that Dylan is standing and walking around furniture, onesies aren't cutting it anymore.  These allow him full mobility and reduce the chance of slipping.

4.  STANDING-HEIGHT TOYS

Standing toys are great at this age.  They allow your baby to strengthen those leg muscles, practice balancing and have fun while doing it!  We started off with an activity table and now have graduated to this toddle truck.  Dylan loves carting toys around and getting a few steps in here and there!

5.  SPOUT COVER

This nifty invention makes your squirmy baby's bath time so much safer.  Again safety is a theme here.

6.  CARSEAT

By now your child will probably have outgrown their first carseat and need a new one.  We love this one by Clek.  I will do a future post on this.

What are you 9-12 month baby must haves?
