We see lots of <\/span>Slowpoke Sloths<\/b><\/span><\/a> hanging out in people’s yards in photos, but this baby clothes keepsake by <\/span>Niesje Wiersma Maccini<\/b> found a convenient spot in the kitchen! I hope he enjoys the warm climate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And who can resist a baby clothes keepsake paired with the baby herself, especially when both are this cute?! <\/span>Kelly<\/b> Anderson<\/b> used <\/span>Calico<\/b> Bear<\/b><\/span><\/a> to sew a memory bear to commemorate her daughter’s clothes, and I love how bear and baby are about the same size.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
