Seems like the wedding happened only yesterday. It may have. Nature takes her course and new humane life begins. But wait. For the wedding you purchased a huge turbo waffle/pancake/Cuban sandwich/bagel maker. Have they used it? You haven’t seen it on their counter for the duration of the 20 times you’ve been over since. Maybe because times are a little tougher now you don’t want to go so expensive. But you don’t want to be cheap right? Hey. Times are tough for the parents-to-be also. They don’t want imagination stuff. They (think they) know how much having and raising an infant is going to take and they’ll settle for good old fashioned stuff. Hang with me because I’ve got a list that will make your day.
But let’s talk with regards to this shower for a minute.
Like most things in this delightful society of ours, they’ve gotten a little, uh… over the top. Oh, I’m not saying that it’s a bunch of women getting naked and dancing around a maypole in the forest – not that there’s anything faulty with that. Showers have just become so…so… themey. You got your books showers, pamper mom showers, Baby Einstein showers, spas, garden tea parties where everyone wears a floppy hat just like F. Scott Fitzgerald characters (there’s probably a theme shower for that too.) Or Elizabethan England or the Valkery Faeries.
Me? I like things simple
And I’ll bet that most of you do too. So there’s a list of simple ideas that will please your bank account and the shower recipient. But hold it for another second. Let me get back to this shower scene. I read when it comes to something finelooking unsettling because baby showers have been on my mind. The conception is so unnatural I woke up at 3 am thinking when it comes to it…. Are you ready for this? A shower for the dad. OK ok. I recognise that a heap of of you hip, edgy chicks out there find that endearing because you’re hooked up with hip metro dudes who are sooo secure in their sexuality.
But check this out.
Somebody has got to coordinate this thing and invite the other guys. Who’s going to have the courage to do that? (Believe me. Hip metro dudes don’t hang out with each other. Why? Because they make each other jealous.) Do you actually think that Merle, Joey, Bobby, Dave, and Bubba are going to go along with that without subjecting the shower dad and the organizer to unfathomable jocular abuse?
Let me put it this way.
What if your hubby came home from work on Friday night and told you that he couldn’t take you to a movie because he’s going to a baby shower for Bill and everybody’s going to be there. What would you think? I thought so. Yeah, I suppose it happens but, sheesh, wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall at that little get together?
Full disclosure.
I’m a guy. Really had you befooled didn’t I? So you’re asking what do you know with regards to shower gifts. Well, it turns out, plenty. You see, after each of the four kids we raised was born, I had to buy the stuff that held the little poopers clean, fed, alive, warm, and healthy. The key, my dear wife and I found, was to concentrate on what they need – because they don’t want anything . They don’t want a diaper cake (that sounds disgusting ) or a theme party. They don’t care with regards to Baby Einstein. They need nurturing, love, laughter, food, a clean butt, shelter, clothes, mama’s particular apparatus, and dad’s willingness to alter diapers without puking.
Anything you fetch to the shower ought to address those things – period. You’re jones’n for a list because that’s what these articles do.
Here’s the list.
1. A six pack or two of one piece outfits. Newborn to 6 months
2. A baby song CD
3. A case of butt cleaners
4. A blanket, that, if you’re lucky, could become a cherished “banky”.
5. A high quality stuffed animal that could become inseparable.
6. Some booties that go from newborn to in regards to 8 months.
7. A half case of high quality chardonnay from Napa valley. (why not?)
8. A colorful bandanna for dad to wear around his face while he’s using the butt cleaners on the baby.
There you have it. Simple. Down-to-earth and mother approved.
Cheers

 Free shipping from mylittlelegs.com
By so cute
I purchased these for my daughter and got so galore compliments on them. The basi batch was through amazon and I paid for shipping. There was a little note in the package that said to visit their website: mylittlelegs.com. Which I would commend because all of their productions ship free anyplace in the U.S. They also have cute leg warmers and a assortment of hats and flowers.

Love these hats!
By mahwish626
I got these hats and flowers for my one month old daughter and love them! I have to fold the hat a little to fit her head for now but I’m sure she’ll grow in to them for years to come. The flowers look perfectly endearing with the hats and may likewise be employed as clips. I’ve gotten so a good deal of compliments so I’d unquestionably commend this to other mommies out there!

 Cute, but not that versatile
By D.J.
These hats are cute, but my daughter is TINY at 6 1/2 months (12 pounds) and the material is stretched so much to fit her head that you may without doubt or question see her hair through the holes. I don’t see her being competent to wear these well into toddlerhood as I was expecting. They are a bit hot and make her sweaty, so I cannot use them for each day wear (especially living in South Florida, I have to wait for cool days). They also LOOK like cold weather gear so they look out of place when paired with springtime clothes, even altho they are pastel colors.
