As a language teacher I can attest to the reading being important right away!! Get them hooked as soon as possible! Also, as they get older, you’ve gotta lead by example :) Sit down for reading time WITH them where you’re either reading a larger book out loud to them or you’re both separately reading your own books. It is SO huge for their vocabulary development and their ability to make connections across so many other subject/content areas!!

I have an almost 8 month old so I love that Sage is a “season” ahead of her and can give us all the tips

Cocomelon is actually pretty terrible, especially for young kids' development. It's been said it's hyperstimulating that it actually acts as a drug, as a stimulant. The brain gets a hit of dopamine from screen-time and it seems that the stronger the ‘drug’ aka the level of stimulation a show delivers, the stronger the ‘hit.’ If you notice, the scenes are less than a second long which can promote ADD. Lots of other alternatives available, even Sesame Street goes at a much more manageable pace for kids her age.

She always makes me smile

These vids always make me smile my grandpa has cancer and he is really not well but your vids always make him smile and you are a very good person keep doing what your doing its making a big difference in the world and Sage is adorable!!!!!!

Ahh just in time! My friend’s baby is turning one in a month and I was really confused what gift to buy for her. Nikole and baby Sage to the rescue 😊

Just FYI for other viewers - the Ergobaby 360 *Omni* is good from birth!

Sending Soo much love, kisses and blessings to sage. I just love her soooo much. Can't wait to see her. She's very active nd smart like mama

She is growing to beautifully. If you don't have it all ready, I recommend the book "I'll love you forever". It's so sweet and a long time book to cherish for the both of you. ☺️

I love when you upload these kinds of vids!! I definitely needed this right about now! Love your vids and all that you do! Keep striving love! ❤️

Thanks for updating

Perfect timing! My daughter will be 9 months on Christmas Day so I've been needing gift ideas 🎁 🎄

I feel like you just posted your 6-9 month must haves! Time is flying! Love your videos ❤️

I'm really late, but I was just searching for essentials for this age group for my daughter. And after you mentioned those catchy tunes of Cocomelon. I'm now sitting here singing, big blue tractor over and over and over and over again in my brain. Somebody make it stop lol. And we have been reading books from the first week of her life. The I like myself I can tell with out looking at the book!!! or yikes, with spikes all down my spine. Or hair that's like a porcupine!!!!! Have I lost it yet? And we have the 360 too. I got to say, my husband likes it, but it feels just to big on me for some reason, even with adjusting it.

Try the straw cups from munchkin it’s a really good ! “Munchkin Any Angle Click Lock Weighted Straw Cup”

I really enjoyed your introduction for every stage of baby must have. My baby girl only few months different from your girl.

My daughter is just over 8 months now and it is so good to see what to expect ;)

Thanks Nikole, love your videos and IG stories! Just ordered our first set of panda crates with your discount. Happy days :)

I am interested in the cart she pushes and I did not get the name of the company. It is so well made and fun.

Hiiiiiieeeee👋🏽 !! I'm trying to figure out what rocker your daughter has. I saw it in one of your videos but since then I can't find the video and I really need a good one that helps the child grab onto something, like a bar, to push themselves forward. The video that showed your daughter in one, she was rocking so fast. Can you please help. I'm a desperate mama right now 😔😭😘

Thanks

Yes, please (to more videos like this)!

Can I have the link to your baby proofing video please?

Hey Nikole, i have a 5 month old, we are planning to do purees and BLW. I have a doubt, so how did you defrost the purees ? I watched that video of baby meal prep, iam also planning to prepare the purees for a week or so.

Due on November 16! I love your videos. I've been watching your videos on my two KZfaq accounts lol. I thought i already subscribed to your channel.

She’s definitely big enough to go on your back I’ve been doing it with my baby and she’s only 8 months :) I have the ergo baby but the one that you can use from newborn.

Happy Halloween you guys! :)

Hii I actually just realized today to make sure to remove the silicon on the 360 munchkin cup and dry

Does Sage fall while playing and trying to stand/walk , my 9 month old are. Im worried because they hit their heads everytime.
