Hmmm, how about chocolate pudding and you can call it chocolate "poo"ding. Or those little candy pacifiers for the adults and older kids. You could do baby carrots, baby corn, serve all food on baby plates and in tiny baby cups, make guests wear personalized bibs with their names on them. Okay, I'll stop. This is a really cute idea!

Little BBQ WEiners - you can get from Costco I think - or Oscar Meyer - can you BBQ those Baby Corn on the Cobb? or just serve them cold - as baby finger food - baby carrots - grape tomatoes also make great small finger foods - make cup cakes and not a big cake - for dessert - Good Luck! S. :)

For Veggies try baby corn, baby carrots.
Also chick fil-A sells mini platters of yummy chicken biscuits and cinamon buns 4 minis = 1 bun (together)
Also maybe recipe.com will have ideas.
I also have a mini muffin pan I use for brownies, muffins, cupcakes. Pampered chef brand has many decadent recipes using this pan. Pushing in the center of brownie and stuffing with whipped cream, strawberry slice, drizzled choc and a mint leaf I know b/c I just had a few last night at a bunco. Maybe u can find this recipe on their site.
Baby food --- Container's ex: mason jars you can scoop out of apple sauce, guacamole
I don't know all from the top of my head.
Have fun

Hmmmm Baby peas, Baby broccoli, Baby artichokes, Baby portobellas,might make an interesting salad. New potatoes (y'know the fingerling kind) Baby shrimp, Baby Asparagus, Baby Corn and for desert Baby Ruth ice cream sundaes. Mini Burgers are a great idea and a crock pot full of mini sausages (little smokies) in BBQ sauce is always a hit. Also all your background music has the word baby in it.

These are some recipes to help make some choices. Other more simple things would be like all of your baby veggies: carrots, potatoes (new potatoes), onions, asparagus, and artichoke. Then there’s baby shrimp, and calamari (baby octopus). Hope something is of use to you as I have provided the websites for their recipes and I am going to go and make some Cry Babies right now thanks to you. God bless you and your little one to come!

How about those little cans of pop. Baby carrots. You could use baby shape cookie cutters to cut brownies or put little baby items in jello-sterilized of course. There are candy items that look like baby bottles and pacifiers.
Have fun!

One of our family favorites is "Li'l Smokies" You buy a couple bags of them in the bacon section. They are little and cute and delicious. Here's the recipe:

2 bags cocktail sausages (about 40 ct. each)
1 18 oz. bottle BBQ sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar

Put all ingredients in crockpot. Cover and cook on low about 3 hours.

Another idea would be Pigs in a Blanket--you could call them Babies in a blanket. Recipes for those can be found on internet.

I did this theme for my daughters 1st b-day. We did the baby cans of soda and the mini bottles of water. We also had mini hotdogs. We made the buns and used cocktail sausages for the hotdog. They were a hit! We also had bagel bites and baby carrots and miniture candy bars and mini tacos from Costco. We went all out!

HI M.,

What a great idea! Congrats on the new addition. I saw the other day mini-bananas at the grocery store they were super cute and would fit the theme perfect. Let's see what else..... you could serve icecream with baby spoons if you are having cake and ice cream. Of course a baby cake of some sort. The burger idea is good too, you could use baby cookie cutters to cut the meat & bun in a cool baby shape. I've seen baby ice cube trays at Hobby Lobby too. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Also you could ser "pea"nuts :)

Hi M.,
I've made a watermelon into a baby carriage by cutting 1/4 off. I then scooped out the melon with a melon baller and added other fruit such as strawberries and grapes to make a fruit salad. I added orange slices as wheels and decorated around the cut edges. I thought this might be nice for a bbq. Good luck and congratulations!
