@KCAT- you were BRAVE. I, too, became a parent through adoption and I was just thinking how nice it would have been to have a shower BEFORE becoming a parent. But I was too afraid the adoption would fall through to have friends and family celebrate before placement. I had my son for a couple of months before my shower so I really didn't "need" anything (everything you "need" I'd already purchased). Plus I'm too much of a control freak to leave picking out a car seat or even a diaper bag to others, lol. So the book party was perfect for us!

May I suggest a formula party for mothers who can't breastfeed, lol. Those bad boys are like $25 a pop, by far my biggest expense!!!

Who/where are all these kids who don't watch TV? I don't know any of them! I'm trying to raise a well-balanced child who will grow into a well-adjusted man (I think people forget kids become people.. like REAL PEOPLE). Therefore, there are very few things that I forbid.

Also, it's interesting that people who seem to be getting advice, suggestions, or whatever from the internet would not see it's value for their children...

The Baby Einstein Lights & Melodies Mirror (use it EVERYDAY in the crib, car, and pack n' play), cool mist humidifier (Crane Frog), rocking chair (vintage), and 3-4 crib sheets on the bed at one time. AND despite all the things I read that said I didn't need them, I've found the following to be invaluable in the middle of the night- video monitor, changing table (Ikea Leksvik), wipes warmer (winter baby).

Hummm... you must not have had any other kids at this party. I can't imagine allowing my kid saying/reading we're going to a "bad ass" party. But we're admittedly a little more prude than most. Glad you had fun though!

YAY! You're in DC!!! Ok, ma'am! I'm going to figure out how to email you without posting my business for all to see. We should hang out (says the scary stranger on the Internet), lol!

Man! I wish these included geographic locations (like the room tours). My family totally needs to hang out with another black family who named their kids Hendrix and Jagger.

Even though you're clearly cooler than us, let me know if you're near the DC area :)

AWESOME!

I never comment on these birthday posts but Miss Camille is ABSOLUTELY beautiful!

Have a great one little lady!

Ok, I'm a foster parent and I know children who have been taken away from parents that say the same things these parents say.

But because these yahoos have money, they're ok to raise kids????

I swear I wanted to call Child Protective Services on that mother from last night who didn't want to actually touch her child.

In the real world, that's called neglect!

never mind the baby... don't YOU TWO need walls???

HIL-LARIOUS that according to the package, this curtain "harness(es) the sun's energy to illuminate dreams" and "foster(s) childs deep daytime sleep while sparkling their imagination". Ummm... who wouldn't want their kid to have a sparkling imagination?!?!?!
