Ava's Halloween Costume

So I am trying to pick out the perfect Halloween costume for Ava. As of right now we have a pumpkin onesie from Walmart. I would like something a little more original. Any suggestions?

Check out some of these cute costumes I found online.

Diaper Bag Must Haves

Here is a list of things I carry in my diaper bag. I keep adding and taking away things to the bag. One thing I am realizing is that it is important to find a bag with pockets that are easy to access. Also, I recommend not investing a lot of money in a bag. I purchased mine from Target for $25.

1) I have discovered that I always need to bring food with me. Ava is on formula so I bring an empty bottle and powder so I can make her a bottle at any time.

2) Of course...DIAPERS! I carry 5-10 with me at all times. Don't forget to replace them when you get home.

3) Zip-loc bags. These are good for a number of things like dirty clothes and dirty diapers.

4) Wet wipes

5) Purell or antibacterial lotion

Baby Medicine Cabinet Must Haves

Before bringing Ava home from the hospital I wanted to have my medicine cabinet stocked to make sure I was prepared for those "just in case" moments. Below I have listed some must haves and nice-to-haves. Let me know if there is anything you think I should add to the list.

1. Thermometer - I have both a Braun ear thermometer and a regular thermometer that the pediatrician said we could put under her arm.

2. Vaseline - This is something everyone should have handy. It is great for parents to take care of their baby boy's circumcision, dry skin, and even diaper rash. ( I also use it for my chapped lips :) )

3. Infant Acetaminophen - This is used to treat mild pain and to reduce fever. There are many different brands out there so be sure to read dosage instructions. Never give acetaminophen to babies under 3 months old without consulting your pediatrician.

4. Baby Emery Board and Nail Clippers - Ava is 2 months old and I have yet to clip her nails. I have been using a baby emery board and even biting off her hang nails. I think next time I will try to use the clippers. I am a little scared.

5. Sunscreen - This is especially good for all of those summer babies. Neutrogena now has a baby sunscreen that is great.
