The very first Christmas with a new baby in the house is a very special holiday indeed. In fact, I was looking through photos of my babies’ first Christmases recently and couldn’t help but smile at the memories – gosh, they grow up so fast! If you have a new baby in your family or within your group of friends, I hope you’ll find today’s list of gift suggestions helpful. These are all items that my children absolutely loved as under 1’s.
