Welcome home baby gift?
Hi Ladies,
A friend of mine from grad school just had a baby (on June 1). I'm going over tomorrow to meet him for the first time, and I would kind of like to bring a gift.
What would be a good "welcome home/to the world" gift to bring? I was thinking a little outfit or something, but I'm not sure...I *could* try and make something, but I don't know what (and it would have to be in one day).
Ideas?!?!
Thanks.

I was thinking clothes...but I'm having a hard time guessing what size he is! Should I just go bigger (like, get a 6-9 mo.?) knowing he'll grow into it and knowing they probably have a lot of smaller stuff?
I actually already bought her the school onesie -- that was part of her gift for the surprise shower I threw her. For the other shower, I bought them their bathtub and a bunch of bath goodies.
I would buy a size bigger. She probably has a lot of stuff in small sizes.

He weighed about 8 pounds and he seems pretty long...but no, she didn't share the vitals online. He's only been home since last Thursday.

hmm... how about framing the baby's name (to hang in the nursery).
Use your Scrapbooking skills, I'm sure you would some up with something super cute! Maybe using different patterns/colors/fonts for each letter. Or incorporating elements of the baby's nursery theme?
I can see if I can find a few examples to show what I'm talking about...
What about taking an outfit/clothes/blanket, etc and bringing some sort of food? Muffins, a casserole to be baked, container of pulled chicken/pork with buns, etc. I'm sure they are pretty busy right now and could use a home cooked meal. I agree with going bigger on clothes 3 months or 3-6 months would be good. Is there anything left on her baby registry?

I think food is a great idea, and would probably help them out the most.

New mom weighing in here...please bring them food or a gc to somewhere that delivers like pp's said. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have people bring us food. Only 3 people did and it was great!
As for clothes, go bigger 3 months or 3-6 months.
