We are trying to plan ahead for our annual summer vacation to Lake Powell with Blakes family and one of the many things we have to do this year (since adding our baby) is buy Ashlyn a life jacket... As most of you know babies/kids have to wear a life jacket at all times while on a boat and of course in water so we've been searching for something that might be comfortable for Ashlyn - lets just say it's impossible for a 6 month old to wear a poofy, tight vest! We've found 2 choices so far... FIRST- the soft one that's red and yellow but leaves no room for a baby neck and SECOND - the blue and yellow one that is half the price of the soft one because its a little scratchy looking and also has no room for a baby neck. To be honest I wish we could find one in the middle of these two. We haven't purchased anything yet, but (would you?) if your babies cheeks would be raw after wearing one of these for 10 minutes because it rubs directly on her face.... if you've have any ideas for life jackets for babies or a place to buy them I'd appreciate any suggestions. So far we've looked at Sportsmans and Sports Chalet! Ashlyn makes the jackets look pretty tasty huh!!! Oh and Ashlyn likes to look at books, it's too cute.

We bought Hannah a great life jacket at Costco. It's made from the same stuff as a wetsuit, zips up the front & seems to be pretty comfortable. She doesn't have a problem wearing it the whole time we are on the boat. I hope you find a good one! P.S. Love the picture of Ashlyn in the sunglasses. She's too cute!
I'l ha ve to show you Charlotte's. I think it would fit Ashlyn better thatn either of those and I'm pretty sure we just got it at Target.
Cute baby!! My cousin bought a great baby life vest last summer that was yellow, I'll try to find out where they got it cause we'll be needing one in the next month or two as well. I'm Robin's sister by the way and I'm also one of Rebekah Lee's friends from her ward. Small world.
