13 for Thursday

Today I decided to share 13 of Vivienne’s favorite things! Most of them were received at her baby shower. Sorry for the abundance of baby-ness lately, but that’s pretty much what I think about all the time these days as I wait for her arrival!

 

1. Her crocheted Minnie Mouse outfit! My good friend Tasha made this for Vivi! Inspired by this photo. I can’t wait to see her in it!  {Tasha’s site is here and she makes things by custom order!}

2. Another favorite is her new swimsuit with matching flip flops! Her aunt Mandy gave it to her and the polka dots are adorable. And it makes me super excited for summer!

3. Vivi’s brown boots are the cutest things ever and she’ll look super hip in them with little skinny jeans!

4. I’m sure Vivi will love her handmade doll given to her by her Aunt Tara. It is sitting in her crib, waiting to be cuddled!

5. Another favorite is her handmade blanket from my cousin Laura. Laura is an amazing quilt and blanket maker and I love the fabric she chose! It is super soft and bright.

6. I love this outfit that my mom gave Vivi. She is going to be one stylish little lady at church (and of course she will match her momma, who doesn’t stray from black and white very often).

7. This adorable elf hat was made by one of Scott’s coworkers that I haven’t even met. She is super sweet for thinking of Vivi and I think this hat will look incredibly cute on our little baby girl!

8. Vivi’s Aunt Sammy sent her this pretty little Sunday dress and I love it! I’m sure Vivi will be grateful for so many aunt’s that have great taste.

9. More handmade creations from Tasha! These little booties are adorable and perfect for keeping her feet warm. You can order some here. I might buy a couple other colors as well.

10. I brought this sweet fuzzy lamb back from New Zealand so that Vivi can remember when she got to visit the island {even if it was in the womb!}.

11. I’m sure this handmade blanket made by Vivi’s Great Grandma Veteto will be well used. It is thick and warm and super cozy (or sozy, as we say in our house).

12. Our little girl definitely got spoiled when she received her first blue box! My cousin Jessica (Auntie Jess to Vivi) bought her a beautiful Silver Spoon. It is meant to be used, but will also be a beautiful item to be passed down to her own baby someday.

13. And last but not least, this beautiful blanket was handmade by Vivi’s great great Aunt Janine. It is super soft and beautiful. I know it will be well used.

 

These are just a few of the wonderful gifts our friends and family lovingly gave us for our baby girl. I wish I could share everything with you, but you are probably bored already. And now you have an excuse to come see Vivi and her nursery once she is born! Thank you all!
