It’s a boy! And we are so excited! As we await our new arrival, we know that many of you would like to contribute something. For that reason, and in place of a traditional registry or baby shower, we are building a special library for our little guy. So, if there is a particular baby or kids book that you think would be special or fun, we would love to receive it and add it to his growing collection. A bookshelf filled with curated selections from our family and friends will be a true treasure for years to come.

See below for books that are already in our collection or have already been gifted. We will keep the list up to date to avoid duplicates.

With love and gratitude,

Alexis + Will
