Rocking Toys from Little Alouette
Now I have a great collection of rocking toys in my modern toy guide, but I have yet to have seen either a rocking giraffe or rocking guitar. Zebra? Yes. Moose? Yes. Bear? Certainly. Oh- I think I just got the joke- a “rockin’ guitar”. Okay, that’s cool.
From Little Alouette’s etsy shop- Gigi the Giraffe ($250) and Guitar style rocking toy ($220). There’s also an Unfinished/Unpainted Giraffe for $180.
Order by December 5th for Christmas delivery.

Westside Boards Growth Chart Winner!
Your beach dreams have me longing for a vacation. You had lots of Florida beaches on the list so I’m thinking that as a resident, I’d better take advantage of our proximity! In that spirit, Westside Boards will be sharing one Natural Surfboard Growth Chart with our lucky winner.
The randomly generated winner is Connie who wants to take her baby to San Onofre Beach! Apparently, it’s a surfer’s paradise.
Congratulations Connie! Your growth chart will be on its way shortly.
In addition to their growth charts, Westside Boards also handcrafts Wall Rack Boards and Name Boards that might fit into your nursery, mud room or beach house (if you have that sort of thing- and if you do, I’m envious).
Thank you to Westside Boards for sponsoring this unique giveaway. Don’t forget that you can follow them on twitter and like them on Facebook.
Chronicle Books Gift Package Winner!
Jealous of the winner of this lovely package! I’d love to have these in my stock pile of gifts. The winner of this giveaway will receive Bruno Munari’s ABC, a Taro Gomi Board Book Box Set, the MoMA Modern Play Family, the MoMA Modern Play House and a Binth Matching Game.
And our randomly generated winner is Laurie who was admiring The Country Cooking of Italy!
Congratulations Laurie!
I’m also thrilled that you all discovered so many other great Chronicle Books titles. Just a few that were popular in your comments were A Zeal of Zebras by Woop, My Little Stocking by Sara Gillingham, A Long Piece of String by William Wondriska, Press Here by Hervè Tullet.
Looking at the video I would say that Press Here is going to have to be a part of our library.
Congratulations again to Laurie and thanks so much to the folks at Chronicle Books for working with me to put this spectacularly fun giveaway together!

Buy Modern Baby Around the Web
I’m sorry that my posts have been sparse over the past couple of weeks. I’ve been so busy getting everything ready for my oldest’s 6th birthday party and finishing up some guest posts! I wanted to at least share those posts with you this weekend and also remind you to enter our two awesome giveaways this week! We’ve got a Surfboard Growth Chart from Westside Boards and an awesome collection of books and gifts from Chronicle Books!
If you think it’s been too long since I’ve done a nursery inspiration board, you have to go see what I put together on Coos & Ahhs. I love this Winter-y Wonderland inspired collection!
I also did a Gift Guide for the Modern Kid on Chalk + Dot. It’s the only gift guide I’m putting together this season, so if you’re interested in my gift picks for modern babies and kids, you’ll have to check them out over there!
Hope you’re having a great weekend! And if anyone is interested in posting pictures from tomorrow’s Angry Birds birthday party, just let me know
