Now that we are back from vacation, I think it's time to get the baby gear list in order. I will be needing some assistance from y'all on this one. We have a crib, but are fully prepared to do whatever it takes to get sleep, whether it's in our bed--we just got a new beautiful, wonderful, large mattress, or her crib, or pack & play, whatever.
We have a changing table, some basic baby toys, feeding supplies--bottles, formula (yes, I am keeping her on formula, just relax) blankets, diapers. What I need a recommendation for is a stroller and carseat. Keep in mind she is 15 months.
Also, I'm thinking about a carrier for using in China. It will probably still be pretty hot when we go (September?) and as much as I love the looks and sturdyness of the Ergo or Beco carriers, they look HOT, as in sweaty.
Ergo Carrier
I'm thinking a sling would probably be cooler. I think the fact that we will need all the bonding help we can muster and China is not too stroller-friendly (so I have been told), will warrant some sort of carrier. I have an old Hotslings that is a little small for me, so it's time for a new one.This one is a Hotslings 
it's pretty (and reversible for the Hubs), and a whole lot cheaper. Then......there's the wrap--HOT, but practical. They also make (or I could make) a RingSling 
which looks pretty practical and completly adjustable. What to do, what to do?

I have a baby pool floaty,so we're all set in that department! It's been a while since Austin was a tot and we did not keep too much. Maybe a ride-on toy for in the house or some musical activity center thingy? What did/do your kids love?
I am also happy to hear any ideas for entertaining a baby on an airplane for hours and hours.
Last request, just pray for these approvals we need. It's hard waiting, we should have had our immigration approval by now, it's been 30 days, grrrrr. Then we have to wait another week-2 weeks for a paper before we can submit it back to China for them to get our Travel papers ready. It just seems so far away and I am getting discouraged and anxious. I just want to get to Jadyn!
