Baby shower gifts

I am not sure or not, but it might be a little weird to take pictures of all the gift you get for a baby shower. But, I was so excited to get everything home and unpacked that I wanted to be able to show my friends that weren't able to attend the shower what all baby mac got. He is so ridiculously blessed. I don't know what else this child could need.....college tuition? I like things nice and clean so I thought this car seat under mat was a must! I also wanted to get a changing pad for the sideboard that I plan to use as a changing table. So, thanks to Dora, Brittney and Nola for their gift card to Babies R Us I was able to get both items for baby Mac.
Yipeee!! The swing! I love it and I owe a HUGE Thank you to Dan and Mindi.




Darla also gave me a gift card to BRU and I was able to get this night sight mirror.
Erin insisted that this was another must have, and I agree. I think it's a good idea to keep an eye on the little man while driving especially for the big move when he is 3-5 months old.

Originally, I registered for the Bentwood rocker. But, upon closer examination and consumer reports I found that this bouncer may fit our lives better. So, I returned the Bentwood rocker from Grandma and Grandpa Bales and exchanged it for this one. Thanks Grace and Warren! (Or, my nieces, mothers, husbands, step-mother in laws parents).





Erin and Beth got baby Mac this cutie frog pod for his bath.


I ended up returning the swing from Stephaine, Kathy and Pat and instead got this Baby Bjorn carrier. I have only heard great things about it and I saw a lady in the airport put her kid in it with one hand. I was totally impressed. (I even told her so) Thanks to Julie C. for the bumbo, I know he will love it.

Look how talented my sister Lorna is! http://doonedesigns.blogspot.com/ She even blogged about the shoes and bibs! Rita got him the receiving blanket and Judy and Ashley picked up a few onesies too.
A few great outfits! Thank you to the Strothers.

Melody picked out a little robe for our little boy! Nancy G. got him a few bibs. Debbi picked out the "I love my grandma" sleeper for Mom. But, I was allowed to bring it home, thanks Debbi.

The bath luve is all the rage, or so I am informed. It is basically a towel you place over the baby so they don't get cold while you bathe them. This baby got two luve from Judy and Ashley, K.K., Kathy Stephanie, Pat and Aubriana!

Cute little outfits from Erin and Ruth.

Kristi Jo, Pat, and Melody picked out cute clothes! This kid has clothes clear up to 24 months.

The preppy look. You know he'll be able to pull it off thanks to Tiff, Debbi and Pat!

Some of the softest blankets! Emma and Anna really picked out some cute blankets and KK hooked me up with the bath towels and wash cloths. I already washed the towels and have them stored in the bathroom. Judy and Ashley got him the green fleece blanket too.

Love, love this bather. We used something very much like this when I worked in the NICU and it works great. Also, Tina recommended it too. I will do my best to keep those ducks in a row, Louise! The little lamb is from Ruth, wrist rattles from Melody and the puppy is from Jennifer and Emma. Jess got baby Mac the wooden croc rattle, isn't it cute!

A little airplane theme thanks to Jess, Jill and Candace. I love target for developing this brand for me. Now if I could only convince them to develop a store in Del Rio. Melody got him the bib.

Bum Genius diapers!! http://www.cottenbabies.com/ to get your very own cloth diapers. Thank you to Lorna and Angie.





Stephanie, Erin and Mom made His Daddy was very happy to see his collection of book. Daddy said, "Well, you know he is going to love books."











More books from Grandma, Betty, and Tina!!











Thanks Rita, I think this is great. If anyone knows how messy my hubby can get while eating, this full body bib is a must have. I am planning on make several more like it.









As if Chris and Mabi haven't already given me enough!

Ruth P. gave the little man these bibs and Nancy Goodman couldn't resist giving us Trevor's old bloomers! I love them!Debbie P. gave me this boppy cover and Kelli M. gave me a few of her favorite things. Debbie R found this great little tikes toy and Beth picked out the airplane sippy for her cousin. Beth also thinks that the baby will call me, "Aunt Leigh Ann" not Mommy.Your know we have to represent! Thank you to Jill and Candace who supplied the OSU outfit and Cora who picked out the Cincinnati Reds outfit. I can't wait to get a picture of Grandpa Eldon and baby Mac together in their matching outfits.
