Summer is finally here and the July Fourth holiday is right around the corner. We searched and searched for some really special goodies that might just compliment your plans this year while celebrating our country's birthday!

Planning a party is always fun, especially for those of us who fancy ourselves a regular Martha Stewart when it comes to entertaining. Now add having a baby in the mix and well... there may come a time when you wondered why you didn't just plan to scale the Himalayas while you were at it! Do not fret! We've found all you need to make your party special with the Stars and Stripes Fourth of July Party Box by www.poshpartybox.com. Everything you need for your celebration is here... just add the food!

What a surprise when you found out your due date was on the Fourth of July! Well here's the way to spread the word with this fun maternity t-shirt from www.cafepress.com.

We're always looking for great new books to read to our little ones here at The Baby Times and this one is sure to be a hit with yours! Biscuit's Fourth of July written by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and illustrated by Pat Schories is just adorable! Visit www.harpercollins.com for this title and the many other adventures of this sweet little dog -- Biscuit.

Holidays are always a great excuse to dress our sweet little ones in special outfits. Well, we think the Fourth of July is just as good a time as any! Whether you are headed to a family backyard BBQ or to your country club for some fireworks, we think you will be delighted to have your baby dressed in one of these classic and timeless Little English Hand Smocked Flag outfits from www.oneofakindkid.com.
