Create a mixed CD with songs that have "Baby" in the title. Some examples include Britany Spears' "... Baby One More Time" or Beyonce's "Baby Boy."

Who's That Baby?

Collect baby photos of the attending party guests. Tape all the photos to a poster board and label each picture with a number. Give each guest a piece of paper and ask them to write down each of the numbers listed on the poster and the name of the guest they think belongs to that picture. The person with the most correct guesses wins the game.
Name That Food
-
Remove the labels from 10 jars of baby food. Place the guests in teams of three or four and have them pass the jars around three times. The first time around, they have to guess the type of baby food based on what it looks like; the second time, they can remove the lid and smell the baby food and change their guess if they think they need to; and the third time, they may taste the baby food to fine tune their answers. The group with the most correct answers wins.
Feed the Baby
-
Pair up all the guests and have all of them put on bibs. Pass out small bowls of applesauce and baby spoons to each person. Place the first pair at the front of the room and direct them to feed each other the applesauce at the same time. They'll think this is an easy task until you tell them they will both be blindfolded. Place blindfolds on the pair, then say "go." Start the timer when they start feeding each other. The pair who finishes all their applesauce first wins the game.
