Random Baby Questions

[Deleted]

Baby J received a lot of gifts yesterday at his baptism. I'm going to order thank you cards today.  I found some nice blank cards on Tiny Prints which I can personalize with his name/monogram. Or should I be using my own personal thank you cards since I'll be the one signing them?

Also, any recs for baby food storage? Our ped gave us the go-ahead to start solids at 5 months. I plan on using regular ice cube trays to freeze his food, and then storing them in freezer ziplock bags.  Does this make sense, or am I just being cheap? Also, can you recomend any storage serving containers for daycare? I was on Amazon earlier today, and became overwhelmed by all of the options.

His monogram is totally fine! I have seen monogrammed thank you notes from either (parents or baby).

I keep our food in ziplock bags. It's easy and the cubes are quick to take out.

My thank you cards have always come on stationary with my kids' names, even when I've been the obvious writer. I'm thanking people for gifts to them, not gifts to me.

I got a bunch of fancy baby cubes (and a Beaba Babycook) as a hand-me-down from a friend and used them for all of 1 month before we went to finger foods. So, I wouldn't make a big investment.

monogrammed thank you cards are an excellent idea! and I've already found some that I love. but we're not sharing his name before birth, so I'm not sure if I want to share his initials yet either???

So yes to the monogram thank you cards, and no to the fancy baby food system. Thanks!

pooh8402 if you use the initials, be prepared for everyone to start playing guessing games!

For the baby shower, I ordered photo thank you cards from Tiny Prints. I used one of our maternity pictures.

I used regular ziploc bags and these www.amazon.com/OXO-Blocks-Freezer-Storage-Containers/dp/B004QZBEFK/ref=pd_bxgy_ba_text_y - I had both the 1oz and 2oz sizes.

I freeze cubes of random things (buttermilk recently) I just include the date frozen and the portion size of each cube.
