Animal Themed Diaper Cake

This is an animal themed diaper cake that I made for a baby shower. The very excited grandmother to be who is hosting the baby shower requested this blue diaper cake as she is expecting a grandson.

In this diaper cake, I included specific items that the mom to be registered for:

Kushies Wash Cloths -I put these in the centre of the bottom layer, so you can't really see them. They are soft and colorful though!

Kushies Receiving Blankets

Kushies Diaper Shirts

Eco Friendly Miyim Baby or Childrens Organic Cotton Monkey Security Blankie

Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether -These are so popular!

Especially for Baby Safari Wrist Rattle

Pampers Cruisers in size 3

Pampers Swaddlers in sizes 1 and 2

I did not include newborn diapers as some babies outgrow them very quickly and the new parents usually already have some.

Here is the top view of the diaper cake.

The back of the diaper cake is where I attached the Especially for Baby Safari Wrist Rattle.

Here is the very famous Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether.

This is the adorable Eco Friendly Miyim Baby or Childrens Organic Cotton Monkey Security Blankie .

Wooden Shape Sorting Clock

One of my friends came over for a visit and brought my little girl a gift. It was a Melissa & Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock. The shape sorting clock indicates that the toy is for those 3 and over, and my little girl was only 18 months at the time. We opened it for her to play with anyway, and I was surprised at how much she loved it!

The clock contains different colored blocks that are numbered and each a different shape. In the centre is an hour and a minute hand to teach the child how to tell time. At first, it was diffucult for my 18 month to put the shapes in the correct spot, but about a month later, she was able to match all the blocks to the spaces in the clock. Now she just has to catch onto the numbers and colors!

I am happy that my friend introduced me to the Melissa & Doug line of toys as they are colorful, high quality and highly educational. The wooden shape sorting clock alone helps me to teach my child the different colors, shapes, numbers and how to tell time.

Your Baby Can Read

I received the Your Baby Can Read DVD set by Robert Titzer as a gift for my baby shower. I have been showing the DVDs to my toddler since she was 3 months old, but was not sure if it actually was working. Now that she is 18 months old, and can speak some words, I am noticing that she recognizes the words and items shown in the DVDs.

It is wonderful, because she actually likes to watch the videos. I can also sit down with her and show her the Your Baby Can Read Flashcards that we also received. I am looking forward to seeing how much she will learn before she actually starts school!

My friends asked me where to purchase the DVDs so I asked the person who gave them to me. She got them from amazon.com.

Baby Girl Gift Basket

Above is a a gift basket I put together for a friend who just had a baby girl. It includes neccesseties for both baby and mommy...... diaper shirts, socks, blankets, a hat, a pink teddy bear, chocolate, tea, and a scented oil burner. She had already received many gifts so I included items that you can never have enough of when you are at home with a new baby.
