Does This Count as a Baby Book?: Gift Ideas

I'm a self proclaimed Pinterest Copy Cat, so you've probably seen some variation of most of these gift ideas already if you are an avid pinterest-er. Teacher Gifts, Grandma Gifts, Baby Shower Gifts - I love giving hand made gifts and I am still looking through all my prior year pictures trying to round them all up. Most the projects are self- explanatory, but shoot me a note if you have a question. (The newest projects will always be at the top).

Hayden

Hayden is 10 and our oldest child. The guinea pig kid, as we call him. Our plan is to figure out this whole parenting thing with him - write the handbook - and then tweak it for the other kids. He's most likely to end up exactly like his Dad....except he's going to have triplets because he thinks that would be cool. He loves football and wants to write a book - but before he gets started, he wants to make sure he has an illustrator and publisher lined up. Jeff is his favorite parent, and it's obvious.

Nathan

Nathan is 2 and he's the thinker among us. He often looks confused at how he ended up in this crazy family. There's a chance he may never talk because his older brothers do all the talking for him, but that doesn't stop him from getting everything he needs. He enjoys meeting new people and often walks up to complete strangers asking to be picked up...almost like he's interviewing for his replacement family. He's a dare-devil and the most likely to pursue a career like Evel Knievel. GrandDad is his favorite, and it's obvious.
