I couldn't resist this picture...The diapers were really full of melted chocolate candies and we all had to guess what kind they were (Megan, mother of two, won the game...). And only one person was brave enough to actually sample the chocolate, the rest of us relied on sight and smell...
Playing around with Hannah-she's so adorable!! She loved learning how the night-light works and how to turn it on and off....We're going to have a little girl of our own pretty soon (a little more than 5 weeks!!!).
Making bibs for Allison. Dad made a cute one that says "Pappy Loves Me" :)
The "after" picture of the beautiful cake Jaimie got. It was wonderful!!
Diaper cakes are the neatest thing ever!!! Thanks Mike and Jess :)
Our "Mega-huge Aggie basket" from Mom and Dad...We have more Aggie baby stuff now than we know what to do with :) Mom knows where our hearts lie
Reading the funny card and opening the gift from Shara. She got Allison some onsies from around the world (Ireland and Hawaii to be exact). Our baby is going to be international :)
The baby monitor from new parents Matt and Gina. They say it's more useful to talk to each other across the house than it is to listen to the baby :) 
The cutest little-girl bathrobe (with octupus slippers and an octopus hoodie) and Aggie blanket from Jim and Amanda. Jim picked them out himself :)
From Grandma Petty: the Bumbo seat (that I've heard all kinds of wonderful things about) and tray attachment, lots of cute ribbons and bows (made by Jess's sister), and you can't be a member of the Bell family without some kind of pumpkin paraphanelia. Grandma found this pumpkin outfit and got it big enough for Allison to wear as she's working at Pappy's Pumpkin Patch next fall (she'll have some kind of job assignment even though she'll probably still be crawling; we all do!!!)
My Einstein holding a Baby Einstein play mat from Brant and Paige. To brag on Hannah for a bit: she knew what all the animals are, even the octopus and whale, and she just turned 2!! She's such a bright little girl!!
From the Dominys: A set of tiny adorable hangers, a baby swaddler (that I need to learn how to use), and the cutest night-light to match our lady bug nursery set. Hannah and I had fun playing with the night-light...Greg's parents weren't able to make it to the shower because they already left for their Thanksgiving vacation to go visit Erin, but they did give us a wonderful glider chair for our nursery. It's a beautiful white Dutalier glider and footstool that will be very useful with a new baby around. I'll have to post pictures of that later...
We want to thank Jaimie (and Daniel, though he couldn't make it back from Canada for the shower) for having such a wonderful baby shower for us. She worked so hard to get everything organized, and even found the cutest invitations!! We're truly blessed to have such wonderful friends :) We love you guys!!

What a fun shower!! You will love the Bumbo! It totally looks like you got good stuff. I'm so happy for you guys!
What a great baby shower! The bumbo seat and tray are great and it was fun to see a picture of Granmda Petty! The swaddler is great too - some babies don't like it, but swaddling was the only way I could Frank to sleep at all (he still never slept great, but swaddling was better than not) - I used swaddling blankets for awhile, but as he got bigger and stronger at getting out of them, those baby swaddler were great - I ended up buying several in different sizes and materials (fleece for colder nights and cotton for warmer times).
