We visited Babies ‘R’ Us over the weekend and are completely overwhelmed by all of the “things” out there for babies. How did our parents keep us alive without wet wipe warmers, Pull-Ups, Diaper Genies, ear thermometers, shopping cart seat covers, video monitors, and Baby Einstein?
What would you say are items you couldn’t live without? What would you suggest we skip with the registry scanner? Any advice would be appreciated!

hello kristen and scott -- i was just reading this book 'a natural history of the senses' by diane ackerman and thought of you two: "massaged babies gain weight as much as 50 percent faster than unmassaged babies. They're more active, alert, and responsive, more aware of their surroundings, better able to tolerate noise and they orient themselves faster and are more emotionally in control...Touch reassures the infant that its safe; it seems to give the body a go-ahead to develop normally."
i would invest in one of those little wraps that holds the baby close, looking at you and in constant physical connection, instead of a stroller.
