to our baby. for all ages.

remember that weirdddd baby post I did recently?! NO...really?! HERE it is again;)

i was just showing/forcing (tomatoes/tomatoes;) Jacob to take a peek at my idea for our baby's 'I Was Born Party' and he (being THE best baby-daddy-to-be) came up with SUCH a great idea!

That idea being:

when we send out the invites to the baby's party, include a number 1 through 18. Those numbers would represent the age our baby will someday be. According to the number you are given/sent/assigned, you will bring a book that represents that age.

SO if you get age 1 (or any super young or toddler age) you'd get those cartoon books, Cat in the Hat, etc.

IF you got age 13, maybe you'd get something a bit more mature, Moby Dick or something...or a favorite of yours at that age.

anyways...I just thought this was a great and meaningful idea. As our child celebrates their birthday's, we will pick out the book off the shelf that represents that age and see who it was from and what message they left.

and if we have more than one baby...I'll obviously have to encourage people to give ONLY books so that all babies after baby 1 don't feel like huge book less losers:)
