Rock-A-Bye Baby Shower: Baby Brixton

My bestie is having a baby!!!  YUP!! A real life, rosy cheeked, soft skinned baby boy!! You might remember she's the photographer that's done all my Christmas card pictures {here and here} and my maternity session {here} Well, now she's having her own baby and I am SO excited.  She's due in less than a month.  Ironically, it's almost exactly one year to the day that I gave birth to my son.  Thus, it's a given that our little guys will be best friends, just like their mommies!

When we started planning Jennifer's shower she kept saying, "I don't want a theme!  I don't want anything too "baby" in the shower! I want it to be a cool shower."  But being the "party-passionate" girl that I am, I knew immediately that having no theme is just plain IMPOSSIBLE.  Even if you have a color scheme, the theme is still the colors.....and eventually, you end up adding some baby elements to make it just the right amount of "baby" for the mom-to-be.  In Jennifer's case, she quickly realized she loved the Rock & Roll themed baby shower idea.  It was cool, hip and not at all your typical baby shower theme.  she must have had a crazy pregnancy dream with teddy bears, sheep and bunnies taunting her, which scared her straight out of anything remotely baby-looking. The colors she wanted were red, gray, black and white; perfect Rock & Roll colors!  After that, we "rolled" with it and everything fell into place....

{These were AMAZING! There was a whole Oreo
cookie at the bottom. And notice the small Oreo
on top placed to look like a vinyl record!}
