Valentine's Day has always been about the hubby and myself. It was in 9th grade when he asked me to be his girlfriend on Valentine's Day in 2002. This will be the 12th Valentine's Day since then. But this year, it's all about the babay, because we are both just so in love with her!
Many of you are first time momma's too with teeny tiny babies, so I'm sure you're just as excited as I am for all these 'first' holidays! I've always been a holiday lover, and now that I have a baby -- well, holidays, bring it on!!
I put together a little gift guide for all the mommas with babies who'll be encountering Cupid for the first time this year ;) It is also veryyy hard to believe it's already been a whole YEAR since I got pregnant last February..whoa, baby! But now she's here to celebrate all the love <3
I did not buy her all the gifts listed here, FYI. I may go overboard with holidays and festivities, but..not this bad! Although they are all gifts I'd love to get her, she's only getting some of these!
1. Valentine Baby Dress - Every baby girl needs a pretty Valentine dress, right?! Haha maybe not, but my baby does for her first V-Day <3 This was just too cute to pass up - especially with the Old Navy baby sale going on. And if you know me, you know I had coupons on top of the sale ;)
2. Emma Kate- Well this one is pretty self-explanatory. I mean, I'd be excited if there were a book named after me! I read a lot to Baby E. We probably read about 3x a day, so we've been through all her current books multiple times. Including the nursery rhyme books -- I've sang every one to her. {And I still don't understand why Yankee Doodle called the feather in his hat 'Macaroni'...? Odd.}
3. 'Daddy's Cupcake' Onesie- I was super excited to come across this one. Daddy calls her his little cupcake! 'Tis a must have :)
4. My First Valentine's Bib- Her Grandma sent her this one as a first Valentine's Day gift ;) Well, a similar one. But the one she got is reversible with little hearts on the other side <3
5. Baby Cakes -VERY cute book!! I will have fun reading this to her at night..and so will she {I think!}
6. Bright Starts Links- Well, she needed more of these. And it just so happens to be Valentine's Day this week, so that's just being thrown in as a gift. Her activity gym is a hand-me-down missing some of the lil links..she loooves to grab things these days, so we got some extras now! Very useful for toys at home, and to hang toys from her stroller and car seat.
7. Heart Onesie - Baby girls need a little more variety from their everyday PINK wardrobes. Let's branch out a little :)
8. Snuggle Puppy - A BOOK -- that is a LOVE SONG -- about a PUPPY?! Yes, please!
9. Shabby Chic Red Heart Headband - Too cute! <3
10. Wooden Heart Teether- This looks like fun
11. Skip Hop Toy Elephant- While I didn't get this for her, I think it is adorable! And the letter on it is pretty dang appropriate ;)
12. Where is Baby's Valentine?- A Valentine book for baby..pretty self explanatory!
13. Valentine Leg Warmers- These babies would call for a danggg cute photo session.
14. Valentine Jammies- Who doesn't love a pair of comfy jammies?! Only thing that would make these better is if they were a one-piece sleeper..because I am a little obsessed with those.

It turns out, she has many little Valentine's :) We are not the only ones who love her!
Baby E loves all her Valentine's <3 She told me so!
