Would you send a thank you card to your in laws (for $ they gave as a baby gift)? Or is it offensive - like presuming they need to be sent a thank you and aren’t as close as my parents? Or am I thinking too much into this

There is no law that you can't send a thank you to your parents also!
I have never been offended by receiving a thank you card.

Of course. It would be a meaningful one that also expresses general love and appreciation for everything they do. I have done it as if it's from the baby "dear Saba and savta... thank you... can't wait to get to know you and love you etc"

Send it. And send one to your parents as well. They'll both appreciate it

You’ll never offend by being more polite than you think you “have to” be. Send it. Too many imas think they’re exempt because a. They got sooo many gifts they can’t be expected to acknowledge them all; b. They’re busy with a baby/job/ new house/liposuction appointments and haven’t the time; c. It’s “only” parents and in-laws and who needs to be so formal with them; d. Only ladies in hoop skirts and parasols ever wrote them and this is the 21st Century, don’t be ridiculous.
WRONG on all counts. Courtesy, appreciation and hakarat hatov are always in style.

For immediate family (grandparents, aunt's, uncle's) I took a picture of Baby wearing outfit, playing or laying next to toy or in furniture.
I developed the picture (something unusual nowadays) and wrote
Dear Bubby and Zaidy,
Thank you for the thing you got me. Here I am wearing/ using/ whatever. I can't wait to see you (again) to thank you in person.
Love Baby and Mommy and Totty.
