...any keepsakes your parents kept for you from YOUR baby/toddler years?

What do you have and where do you keep them?

My mum made me a blanket before I was born which I still have. It's currently in the top of Jacobs cupboard.

I have a blanket that someone had made for me when I was a baby. Both my girls came home from the hospital wrapped in it. I'm afraid it may be too warm for Sarah though.

I've also given my girls some of they toys/doys I had as a kid.

Yes, several baby clothing pieces, baby blankets, and my rocking chair! My parents are storing them for me, but will give them to Madeline when she's born!

I don't have any keepsakes but I do have some stuffed toys that I loved as a kid. I have 2 pink bunnies that I got when I was practically newborn. They're holding up pretty well for being as old as I am!

I know my Mum has a few things from each of us for herself, but I don't have anything other than photos.

I have memories of various stuffed animals though.

I don't have anything except a few photos - my mum never kept anything for sentimentality, until my own kids were born - she has tons of their stuff! ?! Go figure
Doug my husband has a small rocking crib that his Dad made for his birth, and on the bottom is written the names of various other children that have slept in it since 1965 - his Mama died when he was 12, his brother when he was 15, and his Dad when he was about 21, so anything related to his family is very precious to him, and i can't wait to lay little Josie Lynn in the crib and have him rock her to sleep

My brother and I both have special boxes that have special things from school and when we were little. I do have 3 special outfits that my grandma made for me when I was little. I can't wait to see Molly in them! I also have my Barbies and my mom's Barbies plus some old little people stuff that I also played with when I was little.

My mom kept several of my baby toys, books, blankets, etc. At my shower last week, she gave me the coming home dress, bonnet and booties that my sister and I wore home from the hospital. Apparently when she dug them out of storage, there were several stains from aging and rust but she spent a week cleaning everything and restoring it to like new condition.

I don't have much aside from photos, and even a lot of those were lost because of a house fire.
