Yup. Hope she can and does breastfeed, too--good for the kids and they're
not sick as much. Or maybe mine were just healthy.

- knitted into the blanket (i.e. not embroidered) is the baby's name, birthdate,

- I do believe they have a starry design - it's $40, so we could also get
the mobile and send both as a set.</tt></blockquote>
Like it! This is a dumb question, but is it machine-washable? Ravel-proof?
Chewing-friendly? [Dumb because you have a son and will know to look for
these, but I hadda ask.]
<p>I saw the Hagrid, Fluffy, Norbert, and Flat Hedwig toys at the Warner
Brothers store today. They aren't real breathtaking, and are not recommended
for under 3 (except the flat Hedwig, which isn't a stuffed owl so much
as a big owl-shaped pillow). BUT, I saw a little Gund dragon in a toy store
which was JUST adorable and cost about $16.
<p>Sooo, I think we should do the blanket if it's baby-worthy, and a little
other. I could go for the mobile, but the Gund dragon is real cute, too.
I'll see if I can't find a pic of it someplace at an e-store.
