When last we saw the coconut, it had arrived at my husband's office, via the United States Postal Service, bedecked in a fetching red hat, just in time for the Christmas holiday.
I asked for suggestions as to the coconut's next incarnation, and to my great delight, the lovely and talented Very Mary* volunteered: "Do you trust me enough to send the coconut here and allow me to have a crack at it? I'd be honored to decorate it and then send it on for you..." I tell you, I swooned when she left that comment.
We emailed back and forth, I mailed the coconut off to her, and she discovered the inner infant in the well-traveled nut.
Last week, Very Mary gently wrapped the new baby and mailed it off to my new nephew, confounding his parents and thrilling his aunts.

A big welcome to the little baby, and a huge round of applause for Very Mary!
* She has a blog and not one, but two etsy shops!

Happy to be of assistance in the confounding and thrilling departments. Honestly, I kinda miss the little fella!
There's that darned coconut again! AHHH! Cute one.
"Have a crack at it."
HAR!
That is stinkin' cute. Especially the theme-coordinated pacifier!
Good call--she rocked it!
Very adorable!!! That sounds like such a fun and hilarious tradition that you have there.

THIS is what makes our bloggie world so delicious.
Mary, I'm off to check out your blog. I just KNOW I won't be disappointed.
A traveling newborn coconut. Cuter than cute. I should get lots of produce and let my kids dress them up...better than baby dolls!
Awesome. Perhaps the best part? Coconuts sleep through the night at birth.
I love the travels of the coconut, this one was no disappointment! How adorable.
