Of my son's? I have his quilt from his crib bedding set and some of his clothing. I will frame one piece in a shadow box, the other stuff will eventually be made into a lap quilt or somthing like that.

I have one dress from when I was a baby, I have it mounted and framed in a shadow box. My mom gave me my going home from the hospital outfit, but I have since stored it so well I can't find it.

eta: I see what you mean now....He'll inherit everything we have, he's an only child. He's told me that he likes my circle ring (engagement ring), so of course he'll get that when the time comes, if he still wants it.

My husband has purchased some gold coins for him, they're a traditional gift for newborns in his home country, so he'll get those as well.

I have a small wooden box with LO's stuff. There are ultrasound pics, her bracelet and little hat from the hospital, her birth announcement, an unset gem (her birthstone), some coins from the year she was born (given to her by my dad), and I just recently put in a lock of hair from her first haircut (she is 3! haha). I don't like to save clothes or anything large, so that will probably be it, in addition to her baby book. I also save our holiday cards each year but that's more of a family thing.

Last week I sent a request to the White House so soon he will have a birth greeting from the Obamas. You can do up to a year after your child's birth.

I saved his hospital name announcement, birth announcement, first foot prints, the identification card that was on his hospital bassinet, and both of our ID bracelets. I even have his umbilical stump, but that may get lost by the time he's interested in looking back at his baby years. These are all in our file folder.

I am saving all of the clothes I like to create a keepsake quilt. This will probably be years in the making so the quilt may be big enough for a queen bed. He was gifted a personalized blanket and a handmade quilt that I will definitely save.

We are minimalists at heart, but there are some special items I will keep that made him happy like his first real toy- a Fox stuffed lovey. Anything leftover from childhood- clothes/ toys/ stuff will eventually get packed in a plastic bin and stored.
