All classy baby showers today have some type of party favor or small baby shower gift to give attendees. This is a classy and caring way to thank all of the guests that have traveled from far away to help celebrate the welcoming of a new baby. While it is still possible to skip this step and go without it, it is highly recommended. Yet the baby shower party favor does not need to be a super expensive or extravagant gift. These are often just small fun tokens to remember the event.

Speaking as a Michael (a Hebrew name, meaning ?Who is like God?), I?m really proud of my name. And I think that I ? mostly - live up to the title! Of course, my mother would probably disagree; I think the phrase ?little devil? would probably pass her lips if she was describing me during many stages of my childhood.
But then, my mother has her own issues; apparently her name (Kathleen) is a Celtic name meaning ?Little Darling?. Hmmm, that isn?t the way I used to think about her during those regular occasions when she was punishing me for my ?not like God? behaviour?!

A little 10 lb baby has no problem taking over a huge living space. My living room for example consisted of couch, loveseat, chair, coffee table, T.V on a small unit and a small bookcase that was before my baby. Now along with all of the above I also house a baby swing, bouncy chair, play mat, exer-saucer and toy box all in the living room.
