My new baby seemed to need something to help her fall asleep. We wanted to start putting her in her crib semi-awake so she wouldn’t be dependent on us rocking her to sleep all the time. That didn’t work out so well. I came across this Seahorse and thought it was worth a shot.

Best.Thing.Ever!

This little seahorse is cute and cuddly. Push on the belly and the seahorse glows and begins to play music. It plays 8 lullabies with a nice bubbly sound in the background. After 5 minutes the music fades and the light dims before shutting off completely. It has 2 volume settings as well as an off switch.

I think the volume, even on the lower setting, is still a bit too loud, but it doesn’t seem to bother Lily. Without fail, I put Lily in her crib, turn on the seahorse, and she’s out by the time the music stops. It works so well that my 4-year old started stealing it out of Lily’s crib for her bedtime. Since I could see some sibling competition happening in the future, I got Amelia a pink one.

I’ve been thinking about what the girls will be this year for Halloween. Halloween has always been a fun time for me, and I can’t wait to dress them up!

Here are Amelia’s past Halloween costumes:

I just added the 2009 Halloween collection! Show off your little one’s great costume to family and friends!

Here are a few of the designs. Click here to see the full collection:

It is a nice change of pace to get to design and send out my own announcements and thank yous. Here are Lily’s cards.

I probably should have written this introductory post months ago, but I was busy having a brand new baby!

I am the owner and designer of Metro Baby Cards. I started Metro Baby Cards in 2005 right after the birth of my first daughter. Having worked for years as a designer, I couldn’t find anything out there that was just my style, so I designed my own. And Metro Baby Cards was born.

My husband Mountain (yes, that is his real name) and I have 2 girls – a 4 year old named Amelia (sometimes referred to as Metro Baby Girl 1.0) and a 3 month old named Lily (Metro Baby Girl 2.0).

I will be using this space to present new designs, specials, and all things Metro Baby. I will also be writing about random things that catch my interest.

I hope you enjoy!
