Baby Butler's 1st Shower


All I can say is WOW!
It's been almost a week since my first shower and I'm still in awe when I pass the baby's room and see all the amazing gifts we received from my friends at Baller. We feel so grateful and so blessed! It feels like we'll be set for life, but apparently the Costco size baby wipes and diapers will run out sooner than we think...(It doesn't seem possible)
One of the best gifts we got was an "Advice Book" handwritten by some true veteran mom's (and a couple non-moms)

Advice for the new mom:
~When your baby spits sour milk all over your best clothes; just strip and go naked.

~Each thing you do, whether it's good or bad, won't affect your child for the rest of it's life. Keep a good relationship with your husband. Forget about having a neat and tidy house...it's not important!

~Well, coming for two women that don't have kids..or pets...I guess Laura has a dog...we don't know much about babies...but we do know how to have fun! So, when you need a break and certainly you will...give us a call...we will be sure you remember how to have the old kind of fun! The new kind will be fun too...it will just include baby butt paste, diaper rash, *****feeding...baby spit up, cleaning...Did I say that was going to be fun? Enjoy your little baby boy...you will be a great mommy!

~Sleep when the baby is sleeping. Cuddle with your baby! The time passes so quickly.

~A HAPPY mommy means a HAPPY baby!

~Ummm..can I skip out on this one? How 'bout this..."It's not legal to leave your baby in the dog carrier for large portions of time." I'm sure Chris would love that one!!

~Boys like balls and like to throw them! If your going to give your little guy balls, I recommend tennis and waffle balls. The baseballs really hurt!
