Baby Showers

Babies seem to be born in waves, and a number of our friends are currently gestating spring babies.  Sean LOVES babies, so I've involved him in picking out a few presents lately.  In Target yesterday he picked out pink hairbows for "mommy's friend Carrie's girl-baby" (because every girl-baby should have pink hairbows-- thank you, Greta).  He also wanted to get Carrie's girl-baby some hangers for her closet, but I convinced him that Carrie would buy those herself.  The other day Sean found a little alligator rattle toy in his room and said he was going to give it to Gabe's little sister who is in Ms. Amanda's belly right now.  He's got the gifts down for the girl-babies.  Boy-babies might be a little more difficult though.  Yesterday I said,

Erin: "Ms. Lauren is going to have a little boy--what do you think we should give him for a present?"
Sean: "eh?"
Erin: "Evelyn is going to have a baby brother soon.  What do you think he would like for a present?"
Sean: "hmmmm [thinking].... some breastmilk." 

Apparently, what all boy-babies want.

I love boy-babies!

Men are harder to shop for, they say.

Or maybe easier because so simple?

I didn't realize that the one-track mind thing started so young - I am so glad to see that Jamesie still has hair that sticks up and ears that stick out - so cute! Give him some fast kisses for me!
