My son Colby started his first foods at six months (see picture - his first bites of rice cereal). Couldn't wait to finally use my long-awaited shower gift (a fire truck bib - for either a boy or girl as Daddy is a Fire Fighter and Mommy is a Fire Dispatcher). The Mally Bib has been the most useful and well-used gift of all the lovely shower gifts. When new mom's ask me for advice on that 'can't live without item for baby' the Mally Bib is at the top of the list! Once we travelled and forgot to bring along Mally Bib. We purchased a basic plasticy bib and even husband lamented, "Mally Bib is the best. I miss it!". Colby is now 15 months old still using his well-loved (yet still tip top shape!) fire truck bib. Baby #2 is due in seven weeks and we're excited about picking out another adorable and practical bib for this bub!
