Pret a Porter

Thank goodness that modern fashion has finally liberated infant atire. Take it from me, a budding young princess: wearing pastel pink every day gets really boring. News flash to the fashionistas out there: we babies like bright colors and contrasts; our young developing eyes respond to it very well. So I was very pleased with the gift of a few blankets and burp cloths that have fascinating stylized floral patterns set on bold stripes.

Every morning, with the first diaper change after sunrise, daddy picks out the new outfit for the day. He selects a "onzie" and then matches up a swaddling blanket to complement the color scheme. His favorite is a onzie and blanket depicting an owl. Yes, the owl is my spirit animal and is very important to me, but I think dad goes to the well a little too often with this choice. He needs to challenge himself with some more inventive combinations.

Check out the wonderful colors and arrangements we've come up with this week. In the outfit to the left, we've paired a more traditional onzie with a fun burp cloth (that's the orange stripes behind my head). The onzie has the standard baby lime, but it definitely enhanced by the fun label played out across my chest that really ties the whole thing together. To your right, you can see my favorite doggie "sleeper" that honors my beloved sisters and loyal guardians. You can see a swaddle blanket with a little bolder pink than most baby stuff. The tiny white polka dots on the cloth really sophisticates the appearance. And speaking of sophisticated, can you believe that boppy cover poking out underneath the blanket? That is so modern, so fun, so COOL!

Uncle Mike came over yesterday to take care of me. Thank you so much! I felt so comfortable in his big hands. He can come and care for me anytime! He told me all about the wonderful land of Pennslyvannia! I can't wait to see it. Aunt Ada is my biggest blog fan. Thank you for reading and contributing your comments!
