Poor baby just woke up from a nap and what did mean Ashley do? I surrounded her with Angry Birds and made a big bright flash!

Just noticed the awesome thin blanket that was on top of her head.

Ease of Use

Seeing how baby is too old for me to even attempt to swaddle her with the Marquisette, we just simply use it as a light weight blanket for the summer time. Being down here in the south we need thin blankets like this, for when it is too hot to put on a normal blanket, but yet just a little too air-ish for baby to not have some tip of cover. Here are the instructions on how to properly swaddle via SwaddleDesigns.

Fit

Seeing how all babies are different and not one are a like. Natalie is currently 9 months old and weighing around 19-20 pounds, we received a 6 to 9 months bodysuit, and it was a little snug. I had trouble getting it to fit around her arms and shoulders. She may have chunky thighs, but she has thick shoulders and arms also.

We also use cloth diapers too, so that could throw the measurements off a little, but I would just say it was the arm issue.

The blanket, however is an amazing size. It measures 46”x46” and is made out of 100% cotton. It is very similar to gauze but a whole lot softer. There is also a 123 on how to swaddle attach to the blanket.

Appearance, Quality, Style

I really LOVE the look of the Angry Birds Space bodysuit! I do play the game when I have the time and I am not an expert at it, but I do enjoy the playing. There is just something about throwing birds at pigs that really make me happy :] I also really love the tiny birds on the blanket. They are so adorable and fun to look at. Natalie really likes them too, she even tries to pick them off!

The quality of both the bodysuit and the blanket is superb! The blanket is lightweight and really comfortable, whereas the bodysuit is soft and truly a durable material, it is not low quality in any way.

There are many different styles for both the Angry Bird bodysuit and blanket in the Angry Bird Collection.
