A Girl Must Be Adorned

We're having a girl. I'm super excited. I love dressing babies, and really love dressing little girls. I have stared longingly at the girl section while shopping for Tate these last two years, and now I have reason to stare!

I have a little tradition with myself that I get to buy an outfit after I find out the baby's gender and this is what I got today for baby girl. I actually chose one of the more practical things, which was a fight with myself because I was thisclose to buying this ruffled swimsuit and its matching swim cap. Anyway - eek! - I'm so happy to be entering the girl clothes phase of my life. Can you even handle those red suede flats?



All that adorable-ness to go on this adorable face.
PS. I know I'm crazy shallow. Clothes are not the only reason I love babies (though I freely admit, they do play a part). I mean, today Tate lined at least nine trucks on his booster seat tray and shouted repeatedly, "So many things, Mommy!" with his arms dancing over his head. How can you not love that?
