We know, we know – Princess Kate will not have a formal baby shower for lots of reasons including the fact that royal protocol would require her to return all gifts and what fun is a baby shower without opening all the adorable baby presents. Nonetheless, we are still gung ho on planning the perfect little prince royal baby shower including choosing adorable gifts for the little prince.
Obviously, on the top of any Little Prince Baby Shower is the universally cherished, beloved classic The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Whether read in the original French or this beautiful translation by Richard Howard, it is a must own for anyone assembling a wonderful collection of children's literature.
Here are our latest additions to our own pinterest board – all perfect gifts for any mom expecting her own little prince.
Our obsession with the royal family continues! Prince William just announced that Prince George's bedroom will be decorated with jungle safari theme nursery decor, in deference to his family’s love of Africa. “I’ll have toy elephants and rhinos around the room … “We’ll cover it in, you know, lots of bushes and things like that. [We'll] make him grow up as if he’s in the bush,” the new dad said in CNN’s one-hour special, “Prince William’s Passion: New Father, New Hope.”
So knowing that so many mom's-to-be look to the young royals for style ideas, whether it be their choice of strollers or baby names, we have put together an inspiration board with lots of adorable safari theme nursery decor ideas. Any of these nursery essentials would all be much appreciated gifts at any African inspired safari theme baby shower or even an elephant or giraffe theme baby shower.
As His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge heads home in this adorable soft and cozy Aden + Anais Jungle Jam Bird Swaddle Wrapswaddling blanket, I can't help but reminisce about my first swaddling adventure.
Daniel, my first born, developed jaundice soon after he was born. The doctor suggested we put him in the window to expose him to sunlight. The problem is the nurses also drilled into my husband and me the importance of swaddling newborns. Being the new and inexperienced parents we were, Matt and I obediently followed both instructions at the same time. When Matt's dad, an renowned New York OB/GYN discovered his 2nd born grandson cooking in the window, he lost it. He truly thought I had to be the most inept mother on earth . Ever since I have been absolutely mortified by my complete lack of common sense during those first few days as a new mom. This is why I once again implore everyone to give the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge a modicum of privacy to allow them to make the mistakes every new parent inevitably makes without broadcasting each personal embarrassment to the world.
Enough reminiscing.Why are Aden + Anais swaddling blankets fit for a royal baby?
