baby things

so this is all about cute baby stuff.

tim and i have only bought three of the things on this page. the little blue bunny was my first baby purchase, the two little vintage kiddie chairs were bought on mine and timmy's trip to robertson vintage last week and the animal kingdom rug was bought on our trip to nz last year, before this baby was a twinkle in our eyes.

the rest of these beautiful things are gifts and hand-me-downs. i wore all the girl baby things when i was baby number five in the vinson house (and it's safe to say i wasn't the first of the three girls in our family to wear them)

the gorgeous blue crocheted blanket was given and made by the lovely kate at oneflewover, she has some serious craft skills.

one of my awesome sisters gave baby it's first christmas present - the grey striped bonds suit. not much more cuddly than a new born in a bonds suit. i can't wait to put our teeny tiny baby in an all-in-one and wrap it up and have a long, long cuddles.

the elephant waffle cot blanky and the white footless tights were given (along with more gorgeous gifts, you naughty girl) by ava at picketfencefancy.

my beautiful mum quilted that cute little baby sleeping bag - she passed down her gene of the love of craft. unfortunately the ability to craft was watered down a bit by the time it got to me.

and oh my gosh those booties, oneclaireday thank you. i die every time i look at them.

that teddy might be the softest one i've ever cuddled. given to us by our friends' awesome parents.

the bunting was sent to us after the wedding of heidi and will, heidi is one lovely lady.

i will have to do a different blog a bit later about some of the other beautiful and kind things this baby has been given!

thank you all so much for your kindness and love. what suckers for babies you are!

thank you so much to the beautiful people that have written such beautiful things on both mine and timmy's blog about this pregnancy. we really appreciate those words. we are soooo soooo excited to become parents.

timmy and i are so overwhelmed by the generosity of the wonderful people in our lives and i'm not just talking about baby gifts. our parents, siblings and friends are such fantastic examples of selfless giving. we hope that we can be too and help this baby to see how much happiness and love is born in the act of giving.
