Yes, we know it is stereotypical and cliche, but we needed a name for Baby McNamee since we don't know whether we are getting a Livingston or a Lillian (not to mention if he/she will be a baby or a toddler). Thus we are now referring to the little one as "Panda" (sorry to my mom-in-law who was rallying for Tater Tot or MicMac or French Fry)Turns out we aren't the only ones excited for Panda. Grandparents and aunties have started the spoiling with numerous Christmas presents for him/her. Now we have a whole closet filled with goodies! (Good thing we had previously cleaned all of our other junk from that closet!)
Take a look at what little Panda got for Christmas 2011:- an animatronic teddy bear who reads the entire poem, "Twas the Night Before Christmas" from Grammy Susan and Grumpy Vince
- a set of rice bowls decorated with pandas and bamboo from Nana and Pops
- a set of chopsticks and chopstick holders from Nana and Pops
- a panda pillow/blanket for travel from Nana and Pops
- a stuffed Pooh Bear from Aunt Heather and Uncle Josh
- a stuffed Stitch from Aunt Heather and Uncle Josh
- a jingle bell Christmas ornament with a verse from "Twas the Night Before Christmas" from Poppa (my nieces, Belle and Arianna, also got these ornaments only with different verses...this way whenever they see their ornaments in future Christmases, they will think of each other)
- A Peter Pan book from Auntie Jenna
- Diapers and wipes from Uncle Shawn and Aunt Dani (these are actually for Belle when we have her, but I'm pretty sure we'll have plenty left over as Belle's potty training already!)
