Games

Who said there couldn't be games at a "virtual" baby shower?

Just because you aren't here in person doesn't mean you get to miss out on all the fun!!

Name that Baby

The real goal of the whole thing is to have a name that parents and children like using, that the children are comfortable with and that bass a positive vibe for the parents.  --Bruce Lansky, Author

The Fall 2014 issue of Bay Area Parent has a great article about the importance of choosing a name for your baby.  "The Name Game," by Lisa Renner will walk the reader through the temptations of wanting to choose a trendy name yet staying focused to make choice for the long haul. 

Trivia Game:  According to the administration of social security, what was the most frequently given boy's name and girl's name in the state of California last year (2013)? 
The results will likely surprise you.  

NO CHEATING by looking it up.  The first person who guesses the name correctly will win a prize.

CONTEST IS OVER with no winners -- here's the answer:

Alphabet Blocks

GAME IS OVER: Michelle is the winner with a guess of 120 -- there were 132 tiny blocks.

For kicks, my Lola pulled together the Alphabet Blocks game, and I get to keep the blocks!

Based on the picture above, can you guess how many blocks are in the jar? The person who provides the right answer or comes closest to it without going over will win a prize. Hint: you must provide your first name and city when you enter your answer in the comment box below. 

Good luck!!

Birthday Pool

OK, this should be pretty interesting... since I don't know my exact arrival yet, your guess is as good as mine. I could be born on my Great Aunts birthday or I could be born on my Lola and Grand Dad's wedding anniversary. The person who comes the closest wins, with the fewest amount of points, WINS!!  Please be sure to submit your entry by November 10, and when I arrive, I'll let you know if you won and mail your gift.  Ooooo, this is so exciting!!
