\"Baby<\/p>\n

\"Matti'sMy baby turned four last month and doesn’t look much like a baby at all any more.<\/p>\n

Abigail loves babies as much as I do, but since God hasn’t sent our immediate family any new ones, we’ve had to content ourselves with cuddling her little nephew and my youngest grandson, Easton.<\/p>\n

Here is a picture of me with Easton and his mom at a baby shower my daughter-in-law’s friends threw for them. Isn’t he a sweetheart?<\/p>\n

And speaking of showers, one of our readers wrote last week to ask if I’d make the lyrics to “Do You Wanna Have a Baby?” printable and give her permission to sing them at a baby shower. I thought that was a great idea, so I made a printable version (linked below). And while I was at it, I worked up a couple of other baby shower printables, as well.<\/p>\n

Will you be hosting any baby showers in the near future? Are you looking for ideas to make the occasion extra-special? If so, the following ideas will help ensure a good time is had by all.<\/p>\n
