New Stuff For Lucas

We went on a shopping spree today at Babies R Us for new stuff for Lucas. Since he's eating solid foods now as part of his diet (applesauce, pear, banana, and rice cereal), we wanted to get him a high chair. We originally were going to buy the Fisher Price RainForest Healthy Chair, but decided to go for the Fisher Price Space Saver High Chair instead. It's more portable, and since we don't have much room in the kitchen, it saves us a lot of space by enabling us to hook the chair up to a dining room chair. Plus, it's $50 less than the Healthy Chair with essentially the same features (3 way recline, height adjustable, easy clean tray, and washable seat pad).

We also bought a Sealy Baby Soft Premium Crib Mattress. I had assembled the crib yesterday and we plan to eventually transfer him from our bed to his crib. His crib is still in our room though so it should be okay.

We also bought him some larger onesies and warmer outfits, especially since we'll be heading to chilly Boston next month. While we spent a bunch, it helped that we had several coupons to use today, saving us about 20 percent off the total.
