The lovely Amber gave me some lip balm from one of my favorite cosmetic lines. It's got a lemony sugar flavor, which tastes/smells absolutely amazing.

She also presented me with this Hello Kitty Sigg bottle. I've been so much better about drinking water since I got it! And it fits perfectly in my diaper bag!

Fabulous Lilcee sent me some Hello Kitty cookie cutters, which we'd both been on the lookout for on each other's behalf since justJENN posted about them earlier in the year.

Among the awesome pile o' gifts from justJENN were these personalized spatulas!

And even better? She included mini versions with Em's name! (On the side face-down.) I about lost it thinking about Em helping me in the kitchen with them some day. The funny thing is that I didn't picture an older Em; I just pictured the Em I have now but with walking/talking abilities. Heh.

Shelby sent Em this adorable handmade owl onesie from Etsy. I always have to mention that while I think birds in real life are disgusting, I really love inanimate birds on stuff like this!

Brent got me gift certificates for a massage AND a facial AND a 3-day spa pass, which means I can just go to the spa and chillax without needing to pay for a treatment. That's five total visits to the spa! Niiiice!
And our most recent gift for Em came from Matt and Nicole.

I thought my head was going to explode when I realized what it was! And it was a real testament to how out of the pop culture loop I am since Em's arrival - I had no idea such a thing existed! It's like Build-A-Bear, but with MUPPETS!!! Apparently "Whatnots," which coincidentally is a filler word I use way too much when talking to folks, are what they call the Muppets you see in the background. Brent and I are huge Muppets fan, and we'll make sure Em learns the awesomeness that are the Muppets, too.
Brent and I decided that we'll build a Whatnot on Em's behalf. Then, hopefully, when she's old enough to decide what she'd want a Whatnot to look like, and if the experience still exists, we'll let her build her own.
So freakin' cute - all of it!
Thanks again, everyone!
