Here are some pictures from my baby shower in Houston.  We got tons of gifts for Alexander.  He is seriously one lucky baby to have so many amazing people in his life who adore him.  Here are just a few gifts we received.

Diaper cake made by Maggie.

We are obsessed with this monitor!  It does so many cool things.  If you are currently monitor shopping I highly suggest this one.  

LOVE this owl lamp!  It can be used as a nightlight as well =)

I seriously love blankets.  Anyone who truly knows me knows how obsessed I am with warm, soft blankets.  This was made by my Aunt Eleanor.  So special =)

Daniel registered for this...obviously.

More cozy and incredibly soft blankets.  

Swaddlers and sleep sacks.

Sweet books.  They used the Mother Goose book as a guest book.
