Listed below are some ideas for baby gifts, but you're always welcome to go with your own ideas!  We've already taken care of the major items (crib, bedding, quilts, a dresser, a car seat and a stroller). The nursery "theme" is brightly colored fish (or under the sea).

Update 10/8:  We are looking good in the number of clothes and blankets that we have (thanks!).  While more are always welcome (the clothes are fun to shop for, I must admit), there are some other items that could really help us out listed below.

For those of you who prefer to visit a store with a registry list, we registered at The Right Start (go to their web page for locations near you)! There are still a few items left on the registry or maybe just being in the store will inspire you.

Stuff We Still Need/Would Like

• Books & toys are ALWAYS good bets
• Baby Scrapbook or some other type of "memory book"
• Portable playpen (for those frequent trips to Grandma's)
• Rocker seat/bouncer - I recommend the Baby Trend Infant Rocker
• A share of stock (e.g., Mattel, Johnson & Johnson) to put in the baby's college fund (it's never too early to start saving for that Stanford tuition)
• Classical Music CDs (to soothe us AND the baby)
• A digital camera (so we can easily post all those pictures of the baby on the web page).  Make sure it is compatible with Windows NT AND Windows 95
• Bath-Time Items:
• Toys for the bathtub
• Teething rings (cloth)
• Sun shade for inside the car near the baby's car seat

Side Note:  We won't be able to use items like a jogger/stroller or high chair until the baby is at least 6-8 months old, which is why I tended to leave them off the list.  However, if you're interested, the high chair we would like is by Peg Perego (any pattern is fine).
