....for addiction to cute baby clothes, accessories and cloth diapers.
I have only bought ONE item for Lily so far (a cute little top from Walmart, I couldn't resist buying SOMETHING), but she already has an entire closet full of adorable clothes that will probably last her a year or more. Lucky for us pretty much all my friends have little girls so have generously given us boxes and bags full of clothes. I could just stare at all the pink girly stuff all day. I've spent time arranging and rearranging her wardrobe. When I have a spare minute and am walking by, I stop to go look at her clothes. Yesterday I went through them an organized them all by size. I can't wait until she can wear everything, though there is so much that she might never wear some things!
It's really a different game having a little girl compared to having little boys. The boys stuff was definitely cute, but I never wanted to go out and buy lots of it, or dress them up in it. With them it's always been more about function and comfort rather than looking cute. With Lily I just want to go out and buy her all the cute dresses I can find. I love putting her in little dresses. She already has some really amazing ones waiting for her. Tyler's aunt in California sent us a box of stunning dresses, I can't wait until they fit her.
A few weeks ago I ordered her first cloth diapers. I was really excited to get the chance to do cloth from the start, since I didn't do it with Tristan and only started with Finn when he was 10 months old. For months I have had my diapers picked out, I was just waiting for her to arrive to have the chance to get them. She looks so cute in her little cloth diaper bum with all the cute prints. It's fun co-ordinating her diapers with her outfits. I don't know why anyone wouldn't use cloth! But unfortunately I couldn't get as many as I need so I'm barely making it day to day with the ones we have before I have to wash them again, which is kind of frustrating. I need to get some more, hopefully soon. I already have them picked out!
Another thing I really want to get for her is leg warmers. I've always thought they were so cute and wanted to get some for my baby, but they always seemed like more of a girl thing (though I know they make them for boys too). They look so cute and are great for cooler weather to keep baby's legs warm and still make diaper changes easy because you don't have to take off pants or tights. Plus they are super adorable with cloth diapers!
Lily also needs some more hair accessories. I finally got two cute hair bands from Tyler's aunt that look so adorable on her. I would love to get some more hair bands but also some little baby clips for her hair. I have been looking for them but haven't been able to find any so far.
I wish I had more money to spend on cute stuff for her! And of course now that I want to buy her all this cute stuff, I want to buy some more for the boys too. Go figure!
It's funny because I don't consider myself a particularly fashionable person and really couldn't care less about clothes or accessories for myself. I never buy myself new clothes and when I do they are usually boring and cheap. But I wish I could go nuts on a shopping spree for my kids.
I need to stop looking a cute baby stuff online or else I really will need to start going to meetings for baby stuff addiction!
