The best part was making onesies for the little one with iron-on transfers of Peter and Alisa's favorite things (see photo). What a stylin' baby she'll be! If you can't see them, here's the top three clothing items made: #3 The onesie with "Delicious Corndogs" and a picture on the rear end, #2 The shirt with a picture of Ronald Reagan, and #1 The Dunder Miflin Paper Company shirt.
