Halo

Another thought would to make it a reversible quilt. Girly on one side & military on the other. That way she (they) could have the best of both worlds in one quilt.

I think I would go with super prissy little girl. The last thing I wanted to see when I came home from work was anything job related.

As a retired military wife, I never even considered military themed stuff for any of my boys or for my girl, not even for my husband!

You can't go wrong with alphabet or counting or I Spy. And those will be appropriate long past infancy.
