Baby Supplies & Precious Gifts

Paul and I have already received a flood of thoughtful, sweet gifts for the baby. We've gotten blankets and toys and clothes and a HUGE diaper bag (an Amy Butler bag in green!!), so I think all we need now are diaper covers and some fabric for cloth wipes, and we'll be ready for baby's arrival. We still have a lot of unconventional items on our list, but I think we'll be able to survive the first few weeks.

Among the gifts are timeless ones we've already had chance to enjoy--books! Paul has been reading to the baby in the evenings, which is fun for us as well. So far, we've gotten these great titles:


Little Learning Books, from Green Start


My First Read-Aloud Bible, from American Bible Society


Dr. Seuss's ABC's


Things That Are Most in the World, by Judi Barrett


The Tiny Seed, by Eric Carle


Bear Snores On, by Karma Wilson


Do YOU Have a Hat? by Eileen Spinelli


Monkey & Me (Mono y Yo), by Emily Gravett


But No Elephants, by Jerry Smath


The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, by Shel Silverstein


Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, by Richard Scarry

I can't wait until our little one can read these out loud to us!
