You Put Me In What?

Is there a point where you aren't dressing your child for warmth and safety, but instead for your own amusement? Kaia has accused me of that a few times, so I thought I'd bring out the pictures of the outfits only babies can wear and look good. Of course 16 year old Evangeline will probably disagree with me . . .

The bear suit was a staple of the January and February wardrobe. This picture from the second week of Evie Lu's life makes it look huge on her.


The pink sweater was made especially for Evie Lu by Aunt Megan's mother in law. The crack up with this was the pointy top. When we'd carry her in the Baby Bjorn all you could see was what looked like a pink antenna. Classic!


I'm realizing all these pictures are the same first three weeks vintage and this was my attempt to show off Evie Lu's Cobber shirt and the awesome Cobber mascot Jenny made. It was way too big, but I thought if I put it on over her onesie the shirt might look okay. Boy was I wrong. Hey everyone, it is the Michelin baby!


All you need to know is I was dying to know how much Evangeline weighed so I thought a mixing bowl and the kitchen scale might work. How did she ever put up with me?


This was done for Aunt Megan's Miss America withdrawl, but I'm certain this will come back to haunt me in the future. "Dad, I know you don't want to let me take the car, but did I ever put a tin foil crown on you?"
