My Current Wishlist: Crochet Baby Things

I'm obsessed with anything crochet, I just can't help myself. I posted about Oscar & Belle's cute organic clothing before but then I came across this gorgeous crochet onesie they sell. They only have it in 0-3 months on their site [I'm waiting for a reply to my email begging them to find a 9-12 month one that fell behind a box somewhere] so I guess I will begin the Etsy search to find a seller to make a similar one for me Bay.

If anyone reading this crochets, please comment or email me [email link on the right] or forward it to someone you know who might be interested. I am also having a hard time finding someone to make a blanket for Bay because the design I am envisioning includes lettering. Also, I would like for it to be made of organic cotton so please keep that in mind if you send me a price.

The Miniature Knit Shop

I just came across this shop on Etsy. While I'm not in need of any of their hand-knit baby costumes at the moment, they are too cool not to pass on. The link is under each photo.

They're a little pricey as they are all hand-knit but not outrageously expensive and they'd be awesome to keep in a dress-up trunk. I am definitely bookmarking this store for Halloween costumes. There are plenty more available in their shop, so check it out!

Celebrity Babies and Moms: Tori Spelling

Tori, Stella, Liam and Dean
Their current family of four [not including pets]
Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott just announced that they're expecting a little brother or sister for Stella and Liam. Liam just turned 4 years old last month and Stella will be 3 this summer. I wonder what name they'll choose for the new baby. Stella's middle name is Doreen and Liam's is Aaron. I assume Doreen is a family name like Aaron, the name of Tori's late father.

Nymbler suggests Ruby and Mia for a girl and a random assortment of boy names. To go with Liam, I don't foresee a choice as Irish as Seamus or Killian but I think Callum McDermott would be cute.

In case you're out of the loop like me and didn't know the entire backstory of how Tori and Dean got together, I just found this on Wikipedia:

McDermott was born in Toronto, Ontario. He married fellow Canadian and TV presenter/chef Mary Jo Eustace in July 1993. Their son Jack was born on October 10, 1998. In July 2005 they adopted a newborn daughter, Lola.
Later in July 2005, McDermott began filming the Lifetime TV movie Mind Over Murder with Tori Spelling. The two began an affair the night they first met, despite both being married. In September Spelling separated from her husband Charlie Shanian. While on a family vacation in Palm Springs, California, McDermott told Eustace "I'm leaving you, not my kids", and filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years. On December 24, 2005 McDermott and Spelling became engaged. In February 2006 McDermott/Eustace's divorce was final; and in April 2006 Spelling/Shanian's divorce was final. McDermott has joint custody of his son only, opting to not move forward with the adoption of his daughter.

I knew some people didn't like them but sheesh! Going through the process of adopting a child and just giving up at the end and leaving your family for a married woman? That's a really shitty thing to do. Also, why are Tori and LeAnn Rimes not BFFs?
