Pip is one lucky baby and has already been receiving gifts ever since the news broke, we are so touched by everyone's love and generosity. I think that it's safe to say that mere moments of hearing the news, Oma's knitting needles were on fire and Pip already has a gorgeous collection of clothing and blankets that she has shipped to us that I'm sure are just the tip of the iceberg!
Before this past fall I really did not know anything about babies or all the stuff that comes along with them, it has been a big learning curve that I'm sure we have only just begun. With such great family and friends we have a great source of experience and knowledge available to us.
Coming home one afternoon after a lovely fall walk I was greeted with a package form my Aunt Carol and Uncle Don. Of course I was unable to wait until Rob got home from work and opened up the box to find two fantastic fleece blankies and a very cute giraffe toy and teether. She had made up a girl and a boy blankie, just to be safe, as well as having a back up for when one will need a washing! Now in regards to the giraffe, I had never seen them before and my aunts note explained that her grand kids love them have been well used, especially during teething. Being an experienced Grandma I was very happy for this insight.
Well, fast forward a couple of months and I came across the above video explaining Sophie's origins and history and can now appreciate why Sophie has become such a popular toy and love the fact that Pip has one to call their own.
