Baby serg you officially have a registry.
Babies r' us had been hounding me with phone calls trying to get me to come in so i finally did, despite the fact that i have been slightly dreading it. I have no idea about baby things. What kind of stuff you need. What brands are best. How am i supposed to know these things?
I made the mistake of looking online for a list of baby "essentials". Holy wow! For being such a small person you sure do need a lot of stuff!
Your father chose to sit at home and watch sports (this is very typical of him, sports watching constantly that is. You will learn to ignore it). Grandma and auntie came with me, which was good because we were there for almost 5 hours and your dad would not have made it that long! He probably would have ended up in the corner somewhere crying after seeing how long the list was and the prices of everything.
Part of the reason we were there so long was we dedicated a whole hour to figuring out the complicated world of car seats! Four adults, one hour, trying to figure out how the darn things works. It has been decided though that once we strap the carseat properly into the car it is never being removed! It will stay there. Forever.
Another hour was used trying pick out the best stroller system. We used the very scientific checklist to find the perfect stroller.
- is it gender neutral* enough to cross over to other siblings
- how easy is it to open and close (some were NOT so easy, they got kicked out of the running)
- how big is the bottom basket, does it have cup holders and cubbies
- will it fit in the car
I think we came out with a pretty decent pick of the Grace Quattro Tour Travel System. Consumer reports and safety ratings are good so no worries serg.
We picked out some very adorable onsies, blankets, tub stuff. But don't worry, we got you some fun things too. A swing and bouncie seat to occupy and relax you.
The beloved Bumbo seat
And this hideous looking thing. I am not looking forward to it sitting in the middle of my living room but grandma says you will love it so I will make the sacrifice.
I think we hit most of your basic needs. Have we missed something?
Your favorite toy though will probably end up being some box that a nice expensive toy came in. oh well.

*i would just like to note the lack of gender neutral baby items out there. they are all either pink, blue or brown. it makes things a bit difficult.
