This will be my baby’s first Christmas!

It wasn’t until Thanksgiving hit that I realized this Christmas will be Zephaniah’s FIRST Christmas! The holiday season has now become even more special because my sweet baby is celebrating his first Christmas. I’m going to take a ton of photographs of Zephaniah and I plan on buying cute Christmas pajamas and a Christmas suit for him. I already have a Santa suit he can wear. It’s his big brother Zechariah’s suit and it’s still brand new because Zechariah only wore it one time.

As for Christmas gifts for Zephaniah, I’m really leaning toward getting him winter clothes, a snowsuit, and teething toys. Michigan winters can get very cold so warm clothing and a snowsuit is a must. Zephaniah is in the stage of putting everything in his mouth so teething toys with an easy grip will be perfect for him.

This blue snowsuit from Macy’s is very nice and looks like it will keep him nice and warm. I also really like this baby blue Carter’s pram bunting. The little bear ears on the hood are so cute!
