Baby Shower #2 - Vienna

Today was our second baby shower that took place at my friend's house and was planned by her and another friend.  This was a MUCH smaller shower than the one in Pittsburgh, but it was great to actually be able to talk to everyone a bit more because there were fewer people.

A home-made vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream frosting that was absolutely amazing!

 

One of the fun activities for the day was for everyone to write funny sayings on newborn diapers for all of the late-night diaper changes to make us laugh when we have to get up in the middle of the night.  

 

One of my favorite gifts was a hand-made quilt from my friend with pictures from the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?"  I'm going to have to buy the book for the little guy so that he recognizes the pictures on the quilt one day.

Tons of cute clothes!!!  My mom predicted that since we know what we're having, that we would get tons of baby clothes and she was right!  Surprisingly, there hasn't been a single duplicate outfit.  More sports clothes again in the mix!

Another friend bought a bear that you can either heat up in the microwave or put in the freezer to get cold for injuries, bruises, to bring a fever down, or whatever the case might be.  That in and of itself is pretty neat, but then she told me to read the names on the side of the box.  They all had different names depending on the color, like Honey, etc.  The blue one that she bought has the name Buckley!  He's now sitting on the shelf in the nursery until we need to use him for his actual purpose.
