This registry is a collection of things for the small, ordinary days ahead: sleepy mornings, neighborhood walks, bath time, bedtime stories, tiny outfits, first adventures, and all the wonderfully mundane moments that eventually become a childhood.

I have tried to choose pieces we will genuinely use, love, pass down, or remember, because every square foot in D.C. matter!

Some are practical, some are simply beautiful, and a few are here because becoming a mother apparently makes tiny sweaters feel like an essential household expense.

For some of the larger pieces, group gifting is available so friends and family can contribute whatever amount feels comfortable. Hand-me-downs, favorite children's books, beloved family traditions, and well-earned parenting wisdom are also very welcome around here.

There is absolutely no expectation to purchase a gift.

Your love, encouragement, prayers, and presence in our lives already mean more than anything on this list.

Baby Reynolds will be entering a family that believes the best things are often the things that have already been loved.
