The sun is out in Dallas! It’s time to build a playhouse for the kids. Or wait, we can buy one for $5,495 at Posh Tots. The kids better be selling stuff out of this playhouse market for that kind of money! But hey, it’s pretty cute, right? And that neighbor’s tree house? Let’s just say it looks a little amateur.

We are so lucky to have the opportunity to check out some of the most fabulous toys for little ones. And the Corolle Lou doll arrived on our doorstep today. This doll is so beautiful! And her details are so meticulous, from her hairstyle to her shoes and her eyelashes. This is a keepsake doll that will be enjoyed for years to come. We know that Corolle creates nothing but high quality toys. Lou is part of the Miss Corolle line of dolls, created for little girls three and up. Lou is 14″ tall, and this line even has outfits you can purchase. Check out the site for more little girl goodness!

We knew the web site Think Geek had fun gift ideas, but we never knew they sold baby gifts! We love this illuminated JetBib Think Geek sent us, valued at $19.99. The runway lights on the bib actually light up, and the airplane-shaped spoon makes mealtime more fun for your little ones. This is such a fun gift idea for aviation-loving parents. Robyn, I am thinking of your husband right now!

We totally love the Swanky Blankie personalized blankets! ($135.50, Neiman Marcus) We think every baby should have a blanket with his or her name on it, don’t you? These also make great gifts!

Who says Christmas outfits have to be red or green? We adore these tutus! Posh Tots, $100. Your little angel would love opening gifts under the tree wearing this.

We love this! A BMW 3351 Cabrio EL toy car from Saks Fifth Avenue. This replica is battery operated for your little roadster, $650. (Just in case Santa is feeling generous!)

The brass buttons and yellow ribbons in their ears say it all: quality. Steiff is known for great attention to detail and beautiful designs. Now, Steiff is creating affordable plush creations for baby! Today, we received both pink and blue Sleep Well Bears, $35. We love their adorable jammies and sweet faces. These would make fantastic baby shower gifts! Or great stocking stuffers for Baby’s First Christmas. Take a look at Steiffusa.com.

Today, I had a big business meeting in Dallas. It went well. I drove home and walked in the door. And there was a LONG box in my foyer. I opened it. And inside…..was this!

Giraffes are have the biggest hearts in the animal kingdom, and they are heads above the rest! I know my AEPhi sisters are loving this! The giraffe is Melissa & Doug. He is more than four feet tall, and I love him! Thanks so much, Daddy! You are truly an AEPhi Dad for life. My new pet lives in my office, and now he needs a name. AListBaby readers, do you have any ideas? He has a ton of personality.
