Sunday's Best

You don't have to dress up at our church, and I surely don't usually wearing my rainbows. So why is it that I insist on Emerson being all dolled up? Because it's just plain fun. This is a consignment sale dress and she looks mighty cute if I do say so myself. She even wore it all day long, a rare occurrence in our house. Even though Emerson doesn't look extremely thrilled I think she liked her dress as well. :)

A Sale Savvy Baby

This past weekend we hit up the consignment sale to find Emerson some clothes for the Fall. Although it can be a bit claustrophobic you can't beat the deals and the massive selection. I went last January and Emerson got tons of cute stuff for this summer. Well, of course she was still in my belly at the time. I'm still not sure if it was harder to shop while being very pregnant or with a 5 month old baby?? Since the sale was for cold weather clothes you are forced to predict what size your child could be in 3-6 months so hopefully I got it right. Right now she is probably around 11.5 lbs so she got mostly 6-9 month clothes for the cold weather. Does that sound about right? Then add in that all brands are different and it's pretty much a gambling game. But, overall it went great, we got a lot of stuff, and the lines were very fast.

Emerson begged me to let her try on her "new" clothes even though of course they are too big.

I think this is a good look for her.

She even knows how to pose already. Her Dad picked out this lovely outfit. I promise come winter we won't layer everything over pink plaid and with a Christmas hat unless she absolutely insists. Here are some more pictures of the weekend!

Enjoying a nice summer evening on the patio.

Is it okay if I suck your thumb instead???

Merry Christmas Emerson!

So today I went out to attempt to finish all my xmas shopping. Luckily Emerson got a little treat, which some of it she can wear next xmas.  I got all 4 pieces for under $10! So if you need to buy clothes for a little one Old Navy is having some really good deals. Now if I could just figure out baby sizing I would be good. Do 3 month olds where 0-3 or 3-6??? I don't get it. Hopefully she'll fit into these. :) BTW sorry for the weird pic angles. I don't have a camera and this was my attempt with my laptop.

2nd Baby Purchase

Target clearance is my new best friend. I found this cute sleeper and I'm pretty sure it's gender neutral. For 50% off and the perks of a pretty hanger I couldn't resist. It has pockets but, I'm not really sure what an infant carries around with them.
