The mattress plus the necessary hardware for stabilizing the rocking motion are both included. You can see a closer view of the product at poshtots.com, where the Enchanted Forest Cradle is priced at $828.00.

Instead of making pencil marks on the doorways where they’re likely to get smudged away, how about this neat Personalizable Photo Growth Chart by RedEnvelope?  Fun, functional, and a lovely addition to the decor in your child’s room. It’s too good of an idea to pass up.

Personalize this chart for each of your children for an extra-added touch. It comes in blue/yellow and pink/green, and costs $39.95 at RedEnvelope.com.

I can see something like this custom-made Noah’s Ark Canopy Crib (and dresser, toy box, and armoire) really growing on a person. It is painstakingly hand-painted with charming animals and, of course, the ark. There’s even bedding one can purchase to go with it.Though it strikes me as fairly boyish, it’s not limited to a boy or girl’s room; it’s fine for either.

I would accessorize with hand-painted canvasses depicting similar animals and perhaps a boat mobile for over the crib. Curtains in the orange of the animals featured on the crib would really add a punch to the room, but a more subtle color (also in a rug) would add a touch of class.

A splurge item for the upscale mommy at $1700, it can be found at ABaby.com. The other furniture is special order but not unattainable.

How many hours can our kids play in the sand at the beach? Or at the local neighborhood park sandbox? If we wouldn’t bother them, I guess they’d be there until nightfall! Here’s a little extra protection from the sun with this four-way protection hat.

The Sun Smarties Custom-Embroidered Flap Hat shades delicate faces, heads, necks, and eyes. I like that the flap covers the neck area because, as you’ve probably experienced, while your child is bent over their sandcastle masterpieces the sun rays are bearing down on their backs. Those spots can become very tender from sunburn and easily irritated by clothing after a day at the beach. So this product provides a little extra prevention.This hat is treated with UPF 50+ sunscreen and made of quick-drying microfiber.

The hat is machine washable and comes in a variety of patterns, including 4th of July, Safari, Surfs Up, and Hibiscus. You can buy one for $9.95 at OneStepAhead.com.
