Baby face, you’ve got the cutest little baby face…

"Baby face, you’ve got the cutest little baby face…" ~ Baby Face by Brenda Lee

Look around. See if you notice the same thing that many of my friends have. Do you see them? Those tiny bundles of joy that seem to be everywhere? According to statistics, more North American babies are born in the summer and early fall – June, July, August, and September – than any other time of year. So if you know someone who is pregnant and about to give birth soon, or who has just given birth to the most adorable little one you have ever seen, you are not alone.

Finding the right gift for the new or impending baby, and for the prospective mother is often a difficult task. Now, we know that what the mother will need more than anything is a full night’s sleep, but a handmade card, cute outfit, accessory, or cuddly toy for the little one will also go over well.
