Christian the Boy of Many Blankets

I know that babies need to stay warm .... but somehow my son has managed to accumulate more blankets than the Ramada Inn... These blankets are better than hotel blankets though...they are absolutely beautiful! So I thought I would share with you some of the many blankets of Christian's collection. These blankets were all hand made and show just a fraction of how much this little boy is going to be loved!
This is a recent addition to the collection. One of the moms at Tae Kwon Do made this for Chris! I was so excited when Tim brought it home!

My Aunt Cherry crocheted this baby blanket for Christian! It is really soft and I LOVE all of the baby colors in it!

My Aunt Wilma started this blanket as soon as she found out that I was pregnant! I love the white and yellow in it :)

Okay... this one needs a little bit of an explanation. Nana (my mom) bought this one for Christian at Christiana Mall. The first picture is the head of an elephant... that is one corner...the second is the butt of en elephant (complete with tail!)..... that is at the opposite corner... then the blanket has his name embroidered on it in baby blue. Sorry... that picture is a little hard to read. It is adorable and really soft. We love it because of the jungle theme in the nursery!
I am very proud of this little blanket because with Jennifer's assistance I made it!! Brendan was so impressed that he asked me to make him a blanket! Unfortunately for him I don't own a sewing machine.... he told me to look into buying one.

This is MY baby blanket!! My mom started it as a school project I think... but since we share the same desire and ability when it comes to knitting it was never finished....when they found out that my mom was pregnant my dad stole it and had one of his aunt's finish it as a surprise! I am very proud that I still have it!

This beautiful quilt was made for Christian by Jennifer. We absolutely adore it! I wish I would have thought to take a picture of the back because it is really cute too! This is what people who know things about quilts call a panel quilt. She is also making him a quilt that is pieced together.... I know it will be just as beautiful!

I hope that I haven't missed any blankets... I have started putting things where I need them so there is a chance that a blanket is already in a diaper bag.... in fact I know that one is in the car.... I will have to add that one later! We LOVE all of these blankets and know that Christian is going to cherish them for a very long time to come.... we can only guess which will become the coveted blankie!
