The only thing better than shopping for ME is shopping for babies. I swear they make the CUTEST things... and Babies R Us was having a sale on all their winter clothing/accessories, so of course my mom and I couldn't make it out of there the other day without buying SOMETHING for my friend Emily's 11 month old baby Lily. We stopped in to see if they had any baby cowgirl boots, and ended up getting this adorable jacket and hat/mitten set. They were both SO soft and so cheap! All outerwear is 50% off right now (This jacket was only ten dollars) so for anyone reading this with kids- get in and check it out.
I'm including close ups so you can see just how soft they even look!
I went over to visit Em, Ryan, and Lily last night, and we let Lily unwrap her present. It took her a little bit of help to focus... she kept opting to play with the toys nearby or go racing off down the hallway instead. I think once she realized paper was involved she was all for it (She loves everything to do with paper, especially eating it, or trying anyways). Once she got the box open the hanger the jacket came on was really her favorite part.
We obviously had to put the hat/mittens on her for pictures. She wasn't a fan of the mittens- and once we got one on she'd have it off before we managed to get the other one on, so that took a bit of a group effort. She was pretty accepting of the hat though! Once they were all on and she didn't really have the ability to take the mittens off, she kept waving her arms in the air trying to shake them off (Hence the fact that her arms are blurry in half of the pictures), but we managed to get a few pictures in before she did so.
This last picture is when she's getting ready for bed- but I just had to include it because it really shows off her mo-hawk. Her hair so far has only grown on the back of her head and the tuft on top generally sticks straight up making her look like she's got a little mo-hawk all the time. In this picture she had dumped out a container full of jingle bells and had them all piled in between her legs and kept jingling them around to make noise. When we'd try to take them away from her and put them back in the container she would slam her hand down into it to pop them all up like a bunch of popcorn kernels, smiling with the pleasure of her trouble causing. It's so fun watching her grow up and getting all the 'aunt-like' perks!!!
