Baby Stuff from the Shower

We got a bunch of cute clothes, blankets and other useful baby paraphernalia.

Check out all the neat baby stuff we have now.

We got a bunch of cute clothes in a variety of sizes. There's one in there that says "Poop Happens".
And we get to borrow some awesome baby entertainers (thank goodness for sister-in-laws with babies older than mine). :)

Baby Shower Pictures

The in person baby shower happened on Saturday November 1st at 2pm and I think it went really well. Megan and Tara did an excellent job planning the shower; there was yummy food and fun games. We had a pretty good turn out too.

The games we played:
~ The clothes pin game the taboo words were: baby and cute.

~ Scattegories we all had to come up with names that begin with the letter "M" - for Morgan and the person who had the most unique names won.

~ Baby Stuff Memory - the tray was passed around and we had to remember all the items that were on the tray (a picture of the tray is posted below). There was a 3 way tie so they played Paper, Rock, Scissors to determine the "real" winner.

~ Guess How Many jelly beans are in the baby bottle (a picture of the bottle with the jelly beans is posted below).

~ Change the Baby - we had to take the outfit and the diaper off the "baby" and redo the diaper and redress the "baby" as fast as we could.


Here I am all ready for the baby shower.
Everyone had on a name tag and Megan had me put one for the baby on my belly. :)

Here is all the yummy food that we had.

This is the dress the baby game we played.

A real life challenge: changing the baby when an older sibling want to help.
Another real life challenge, sometimes babies have big heads.

Kathy was the winner (red hair) and it's no surprise since her real baby wears cloth diapers.

Here are all of our "babies" that we changed the diapers for.

Give it your best guess

Okay let's put your amazing guesstimating skills to work... how many jelly beans do you think are in this bottle?

Let the games begin!

Well today is the big day of the shower. Thank you so much to everyone who has participated and will participate. I'm posting a few games that you can participate in with us.
