Adam's Top 5

After Adam was born we received so many beautiful presents. We loved every single one!

These are the ones that Adam likes to give as gifts when a new friend is born or has a birthday.

1) Blabla doll. I love these dolls. They’re so special and soft! Adam has a bit of an addiction 🙂

Here is Belky (thanks Erika and Henry!)

Here is Raki who sleeps with Adam every night, but lately when I go in to get Adam in the morning he’s trying to stuff Raki in between the crib and the wall. I’m not sure who’s at fault.

And here is Phil the Fel

Blabla

2) Also a big hit in the Ali home is the Jellycat doll.

Adam had a crocodile names Niles, but he was sadly left behind on the plane when we flew to Russia.

but not to worry, we had some spares 🙂

Here is Detroit Elephant (or Delf as he’s affectionately called) and Astin the Aardvark. Gifts from Roman and Eli!

3) One of our favorite gifts was a beautiful blanket Aunt Sandra got for Adam from Pottery Barn with his name on it. Adam loved it so much he got the same one for his good friend Nadia.

Those cheeks kill me! And those little baby hands.

We also loved the super soft Serena and Lily blanket Megan and the Diracles Miracles gave us. It kept Adam warm and cuddly when we decided he should see the Lincoln Memorial at 3 weeks old in December.

4) We love Playsam Cars. We found a great blue race car for Roman in this amazing baby shop in Chartlottesville for his third birthday. When we got there he already had one in orange! But a boy can never have too many race cars.

Then for Adam’s birthday Nadia gave Adam an awesome black race car and for Christmas Roman got Adam a Playsam plane! These are so beautiful and are such a fun collection. I just need to convince myself that Adam can play with them and take them off the shelf 🙂

5) Last on the list was such a creative present, from our friends Matt and Joni and their two kids Conor and Clara. They sent Adam a block set in Arabic! This has been sitting on Adams shelf in DC but whenever the boat gets here with these blocks Adam will love playing with them!
