This morning my husband asked what a good baby gift for 1st time parents would be. And you know what? I had no idea! Which is pretty hard to believe since I’ve only had 4 babies, haha. Has it really been that long since we were in our ‘baby daze’? He gave me the budget and we started to brainstorm baby gift ideas. I came up with Bumbo and Baby Bjorn. He came up with diapers and wipes. Thinking back, I absolutely loved the more practical gifts we received when we had Ellie (baby #4) because already had everything that you could possibly need to raise a baby. But since this family is welcoming their first baby, I thought something fanciers than diapers + wipes was in order. At least something more thoughtful.
This is what we came up with:
A set of 12 onesies. Each with a simple monthly logo for how old baby is at that time. Something super simple, yet thoughtful. All you need is 12 onesies, light fabric transfer paper, a computer and a printer. Start to finish this took less than an hour.
We hope that the new mom and dad enjoy their new bundle of joy – and their custom onesies!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, hope it has been awesome! Have anything to share, I would love to hear it.
love this! wish you made me some for Olive, haha
This is awesome! Such a fun and personal gift.
Nice job! I love those little onesie photos. I’ve always wanted to do it for my future child but figured I just photoshop the month on after I took the photo. Lazy Mamma already.
That is an amazing idea! Such an easy way to mark the first milestones. Maybe you should add one of your kits too, lol (but seriously).
What a fantastic idea! I think that those onesies would go perfectly with all the super-cute monthly photo shoots that seem to be popping up all over the web! Love. So glad to find your blog through BYW.
Can you tell me which brand or where you got the Transfer paper from? I tried to make a shirt a couple weeks back and the paper either burned or wouldnt stick to the shirt
I was really disappointed! I got mine from Michaels, so I thought it would be easy to use, but it was awful!
(BTW- I found your blog through Pinterest.. this is something I pinned) 
Thanks a bunch

Hi!
I use Avery inkjet iron tranfer paper.
I love these, where did you get the template for this?
Are you willing to share I’ve seen others but I love the font and color of yours.
I have a baby shower coming up also for a first time mom and a life long friend, I think she would love these.
Hi Karen!
Thank you for visiting my blog! I actually designed them myself, they will be available online soon – I’ll update my blog when they are =)
Please post them soon!! I would love to use this. My friend’s shower is November 20th. Her theme is different colored dots and this design you made is too perfect!!
Oh, I’d love them too. I have a friend that just had a baby and I’d love to do these for her little boy. The colors are great!
Can I ask what size onesies you included? and how do you know if the child will be in that size on that month?? my kids were not average size kids! LOL thinking this would be a WONDERFUL gift idea for a friend who is due any day with Twins. thanks. also found this through pinterest!
Hi Jodi,
For the sizing, I just when with 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, and 12. Having had 4 babies, I know what you mean about sizing. Hopefully the baby that these onesies are going to will be able to fill them out =)
LOVE LOVE your onesies! My brother and sister in law just had their 4th baby and finally had a boy
I want to make them something special and these are perfect! I have been searching your site to find the template but can’t seem to find. Could you please direct me? Thanks! 
Hi Jody!

I LOVE these – Seriously too cute! I can’t seem to find the templates. Could you please direct me? Thanks!
These are great – I’m going to steal your idea for some cousins that will be having babies this year!
Can you please post more detailed directions for those who are a bit computer challenged
Thank you amazing blog!!
