Friedman Family Baby Shower

So I know I'm behind, but that's because the holiday season gets a little crazy around here AND we're trying to get as much done before Maggie arrives as possible since we're pretty sure sleep deprivation and the sheer overwhelming-ness (good word) of being new parents will suck all of our brain cells out for a while after she's born. 


Anyway..... the Saturday after Thanksgiving my family threw a baby shower for little Maggie at my parents house. Check it out....



 Diaper Cake....yep, that's a tutu. 


The delicious cake Mom made. Watch out Cake Boss. (Its a bird. NOT a fish.)


Maggie Loot!

 Vanna....I mean Aunt Kate - better known as the Hostess with the Most-est along with Maggie's Grandma Shannon who refuses to be photographed.


Maggie's Aunt Emily, Aunt Jacie and cousins Sydney and Crystal


The food was great. The company was fantastic. And the gifts were sweet and beyond generous. Maggie is a lucky lady!

Two more babyshowers to go!

Flammable Cows?

So, last week we were trying to get Maggie's giant mountain of baby paraphernalia organized - which meant opening countless plastic encased items and removing tons of those tiny plastic tags that never want to come off completely. 


As I was organizing the clothes in her closet by size (what? I've always been OCD) I came across a tag that makes me slightly nervous as a first time mom...


Not to mention completely curious as to why the manufacturer felt it was necessary to add this very large warning to such a small outfit....



Its an infant sleeper! With cute little frolicking cows and flowers on it! Somewhere on planet Earth was there at one time a parent who assumed those two characteristics make a child's garment flame retardant????

Evidently I have more to worry about than I thought,
