Burpboards, Baby Snatchers, and Caleb


Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day with Susie and Mr. Cutie Pants aka Caleb. When he awoke from his nap, he was the sweetest, most agreeable little baby, and so so cute! Here he is getting a big burp after his lunch.


Biiiiiiiig yawn!He's so close to smiling.Later, I accompanied Sus and Caleb to their baby shower in Shell Beach, or as Tyler referred it, "An annoying gaggle of women ". True to Tyler's warnings to Caleb, he was immediately snatched from Susie upon entering the room. "Um, um, ok...I guess you can hold him. Um..." Just give it up Suz, these women were not to be denied.So we checked out the spread: ganache filled raspberry brownie bites, german chocolate chocolate dipped cake bites, oreo covered marshmallows, bananas, strawberries, coconut covered pineapple, and apples for dipping into milk and peanut/milk chocolate, and hot cocoa. Good eats!Baby snatcher #2. I think Suz got him back after about an hour (but only for 5 minutes.) But wouldn't you want to hold this little angel boy??Time to open gifts!! Baby snatcher #10 in the background. I thought I was going to hold him while she opened the presents:(


There were lots of cute little outfits.
And these little shoes, handmade of boiled wool by a woman there. They looked like the Robeez shoes, but much cuter.




But the hit of the night had to be the Burpboards. Sorry- I didn't turn this photo.


These were handmade by a friend of Suz and Tyler, who copied the design of Tyler's surfboard to make these little burpcloths.



She also designed these cute little onesies.



But this was, without a doubt, the funniest onesie there (also made by the same girl). Can you tell who that face is? And what he's holding??


For those of you with bad eyesight, it's Tyler and a dental drill.

Susie wasn't forgotten, either. She received some spa products, and some very nice Clinique (I think) eye cream for dark circles.



But we weren't getting out of there after the gifts were opened. These ladies like to party if a newborn is around. Baby snatcher #11, with eager helpers all around. That's Ila Winn's niece on the left (super sweet!). We finally pried Caleb out of their loving, doting arms after 10pm, and thus ended the shower. It was a beautiful event and I could tell that everyone there adores the Wilson family.


How could you not???


Thanks for letting me be a part of it all, Suz!

Haha, very funny and well, mostly accurate!!! Everyone was so nice and so excited, and so wanting to party all night long!! How could I say no to such nice people! Wish more of you could have been there. I think Sara will agree that the choc. ganache rasberry brownie bites should have been called Chocolate Sin or something - holy cow. Mom - they were made by the same girl who brought the stuffed shells & rasberry tiramisu. You should all check her out... http://tantalizeyourtastebuds.blogspot.com/

Thanks Sara! We were all there in spirit if not body. Looks like an amazing and wonderful time was had by al of you. I wondered if the g.r.b.b's came from the tiramisu friend---alls I knows is, that was incredible. The burpboards and etc.----so creative and darling.
Caleb looks like he took it all in stride and snuggled right into those baby snatchers.

He's so cute I could just bite him! I wish I could have been there to also become a baby snatcher. What a good little boy he is! I can't wait to see you guys next week!
