New Wardrobe = New Photos

Lily just about 3.5 months old, but she has graduated into her 6 month clothes. She doesn't NEED to be in the new size, but I was getting a little tired of dressing her in the same clothes she's been wearing since February. Plus, so many of the clothes are cute summer outfits! I hope the weather cooperates so she can wear them all a few times before she grows out of them.

This is Lily's first 6 month outfit! I hope the pants were supposed to be capris. Otherwise it means I waited to long to dress her in this outfit. The hat and sandals were purchased with a different outfit, but I think they work great with this one too.
It was a beautiful day, so Lily and I played outside for a little bit. Her sandals are a bit too big and would not stay on, so she got to be barefoot in the grass. It was the first time her little feet have touched grass. I wonder what that feels like to her. Sometimes I try to look at the world through her eyes and it helps to recognize the little things I take for granted every day.

So cute!

On a different day this week, it was much colder so we had to bundle up when we went out. This is still a 3 month outfit, but it's her first time wearing sneakers!

I found the sneakers when I was packing away the old sizes and bringing out the new. Unfortunately, her feet are too big for them and this will be the only time she'll get to wear them. It's too bad, because they were really cute and when perfectly with that sweat suit.

While on the topic of footwear, I found another treasure in Lily's room. Lily has pink slippers, just like Mommy! They came with a robe she got at a baby shower. They stay on her feet a lot better than her socks, so we are using these often. Lily's hands and feet get cold easily (just like mine) so these will be great for the summer outfits that don't really have socks or shoes that match.

I have heard of sewing your own baby clothes before, but it's not often that someone designs their own. This dress was sent to Lily by our college friend, Mara. Mara works for Wal-Mart and at one point in her career, she designed baby clothes for the Faded Glory brand. This was one of the dresses she designed!

Lily liked the dress very much... well, she enjoyed eating her dress. Lily can grab objects very well now and she especially likes grabbing fabric (i.e. the dress she's wearing, her blanket when she's falling asleep, her doll that's made of fleece, her pants when I'm changing her diaper). And everything that she grabs goes into her mouth.

Finally, here's another new outfit she can now wear. It made Matt smile when he came home from work and saw her in it.
