Brent & Steven's Baby Registry

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We're hoping these keep at least some of the food off the floor. Three feels like enough to always have one clean—or at least clean-ish."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"For the phase of life when whether two foods touch each other could mean nuclear meltdowns. We're not there yet, but we're preparing accordingly."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We prefer to keep cereal on the table, but babies have other ideas, apparently."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"For grab and go snacking, one of our favorite things to do"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"A dedicated throne for learning to eat, making enormous messes, and joining us at the table for family meals. We're particularly excited about that last part."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Our Google history: Why do babies need developmental cup sets? Answer: Encourages mature swallowing, facial and jaw growth, and the chin-tuck position."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Babies like to eat -- apparently that's how they grow ;) Please help save our arms"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We're campaigning for more liquid in cups and less on the floor with this baby. Unfortunately, the incumbents are gravity and chaos."

Note from Brent and Steven:

Note from Brent and Steven:

"What we hope for: ZzzzzzZzzzzZzzzzz What we'll likely get: Please, please, please fall asleep, pleaseeee!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"A few more nighttime lullabies and a mobile light so we can spotlight the diaper crime scene at 3 am."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Baby, but make it fashion. Blue Steel"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Traveling the world will look a little different with a 3rd, but we'll plan to do as much of it as we can with this speed racer!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We're quickly learning that "portable place to put the baby" is an entire category of product."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"An adorable friend to join our camp!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"3 sides, a load of tummy time adventure!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"I mean, IT'S A UNICORN. Bath time is going to be much more entertaining when the baby can emerge as a rotating cast of animals."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Bath time is going to be much more entertaining when the baby can emerge as a rotating cast of animals."

"Bath time is going to be much more entertaining when the baby can emerge as a rotating cast of animals."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We hope this will distract the baby while we all suffer through rinsing shampoo out of the baby's hair. Also, it's adorable, and we aren't big bath time toy guys."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Dinosaurs might have already had the trauma of becoming extinct; we're deciding to retraumatize them by cleaning neck and armpit skin folds."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We know that everything will somehow be sticky, spilled, and spit-up all at the same time -- these will help with that"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Help us look like cool dads out in public who have everything together while we clean up a literal diaper biohazard 10+ times a day"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Wipes, likely a permanent fixture in our lives for the next 20 years, but this should get us through the first 4 months with a newborn's ultra-sensitive skin barrier!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Wipes, the sequel, for about the next 8 months of life. We hope."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Considering how often we burn our mouths on food that is too hot, we don't want to run that risk at bath time."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We're not really sports fans, but Brent can be convinced with the promise of chicken tenders. We'd love to protect our baby's hearing when we go out as a family!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We think if we're going to get beaned in the head with a teether/rattler, they might as well look cute"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Boogies, enough said."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Have some baby books you'd like to donate to our little library? We can promise they'll get plenty of use—we plan to read multiple books a day because the repetitiveness of The Very Hungry Caterpillar cannot be overstated."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Don't see anything on the registry you're excited about or want to crowd-fund a gift? We're anticipating approximately 1,000 last-minute trips to the store for things we didn't know existed until a baby needed them. Any support will be very appreciated!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We don't know our preferred brands yet, so any contribution to the diaper fund will help us figure out what and where to buy diapers!"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Diapers. Wipes. Formula. Snacks. Coffee. Things sold in quantities that would have once seemed absurd are suddenly making much more sense"

Note from Brent and Steven:

"One of our favorite things to do is go out on date nights, but for a while, we'll be pivoting to home-based date nights with takeout! Help us keep date night alive—even if we're eating it on the couch between feedings."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"Do we love giving Amazon more money? No. Will we appreciate being able to panic-order something we didn't know existed at 2 a.m. and have it arrive before we've slept again? Absolutely."

Note from Brent and Steven:

"We're entering a phase of life where "we need it today" will probably become a complete sentence. Target isn't always our first choice, but sometimes proximity and a baby with immediate needs will win out."
