Cute baby things

There are so many ideas out there for cute baby things....here are a few of our recent faves:

Baby's first alphabet block: A personalized wooden block with baby's birth details from Craft-E-Family. I got this idea from my niece Bridget's room. They are darling!

Baby legs: Terri McCarthy gets the credit for this one. And baby Aoife looks like a miniature Jennifer Beals in hers. They are great for keeping Des' legs warm at night. They also help keep his socks on that he is perpetually kicking off. There are a ton of sites out there that offer them, but I ordered ours here. Free shipping on orders of 2 or more.

Wooden wall letters from Pink Taffy Designs: Ours haven't arrived yet, but I know they will be cute. The site has quite a few gift ideas, too. I liked that I could order a custom design. UPDATE: These are $20 PER LETTER, so I decided to pass. The site still has cute ideas, though, so I'm leaving it on here.

Personalized invitations from Fuller and Tack: We ordered Des' baptism invites from this site. Super cute! And fast....plus, free shipping.

All Natural Baby Butter from Northern Essence: This stuff is GREAT! Again, kudos to Terri for turning me onto this site & these products. I use the butter at each diaper change. We have 3 of them on hand in different parts of the house & the diaper bag. They have a variety of yummy scents! I also used the Mom2Be body butter during my pregnancy -- good stuff!

essentials changing pad and tote from JJ Cole: most diaper bags come with a changing pad, but this one is better than any I've found. It folds up and closes with velcro, has a handle (like a hand bag) and an outside pocket that fits wipes and a diaper or 2. It has come in very handy in bathrooms that don't have one of those changing tables, and even in those that do! Plus, they're stylish!

My "Desmond" necklace from Red Envelope (mom's pride + joy necklace): I get compliments on this necklace every time I wear it! People are always asking me where I got it. Now you know.

Key to My Heart Key Chains: I don't have one, but I've seen them and they are really cute! A little on the pricey side, but seem like a great gift idea (no, this is not a hint).
