What have I been loving lately? Baby bowls. Yep, you read that right, baby bowls. Here's why I'm into them:
1) I love snacks
2) I love anything that helps keep my home/car/stroller clean
3) I love new and improved technology. Bowls have remained unchanged for hundreds of years, then, BAM! They've come up with something new.
What?! New baby bowls? Yes, and here are my top two picks:

| The Gyro Bowl |
This bowl came to us as a birthday present from Great-Grandma Connie. It is a small weighted bowl inside a larger bowl. The larger bowl has handles and looks like a saucer. They are connected by a ring and two small pegs which allow the inner bowl to rotate. The way the inner bowl is weighted allows for it to remain upright even as the outer bowl is jostled, turned or tipped. So, in theory, the bowl can never spill!
As little man walks and tries to hold the bowl one-handed, its contents do not spill! It's a miracle of physics!! The only downside, if you drop the bowl, everything does spill out. So when your child (mine doesn't do this obviously but...) has a fit of rage at a restaurant and throws his bowl on the floor, expect goldfish to go flying.
Notice how the bowl is still upright? And yes, we are ready for Halloween.
The Munchkin Snack Catcher

| The Snack Catcher |
These bowls came to us from the lovely land of Target and let me say they were a great pick. Grandmas, stock up on these!
Its design is simple. A small bowl with handles and a removable lid. But not just any lid, this lid is spiral cut. Little hands easily push through the precut silicone lid while the silicone catches the snacks so they can't fall out (even when dropped!) The downside is that it's not ideal for mushy snacks (bananas or watermelon) and really small snacks (like Cheerios) can still fall through the flaps. Overall though, I would consider this a huge success and a staple item in our kitchen. Grandmas, run out and get a few of these. At $3 ea or $7.50 for a four pack, you too will be loving it.
PS- I'm also loving these socks!
