Under Construction

I have learned so much already!

There is definitely a learning curve to buying clothes for kids! Today Truett is wearing a pair of pants that I bought on sale at Old Navy when he was only a few weeks old and I was so young and inexperienced (unlike my current self with 4 ½ months experience-I am such an old hand at this mothering thing now!). The pants are super cute and are big enough that they will probably fit him for at least another hour or two (he grows out of clothes quickly!), but they have a zip fly with a button at the top and no snaps to undo the legs for diaper changes! What was I thinking?!?! It is okay to have no snaps on the legs if you have an elastic waist to make it easy to get clothes on and off, but the combination of a real fly and no snaps is really inconvenient for a 4 month old. I am sure the day care ladies are complaining to each other with each diaper change today.

Also, we had a couple outfits when he was smaller that buttoned up the back, another no no for baby clothes! Also, if your baby has a big head like ours does (99% in head circumference), shirts with a round neck should also be avoided. They either need to unbutton, fasten in the front or have laped shoulders like a onesie.

And at the end of the day, he prefers wearing no clothes. He gets so excited and grins like crazy whenever we take his clothes off. Crazy baby!

On a side note, one plus size of having him in day care is that I go days (sometimes a whole week) without changing a poopy diaper. He tends to have only one a day, sometime in the middle of the day (that might be more info than you were interested in hearing!), and twice this week has had a huge blow out at day care involving a change in clothing. I am pretty sure he gets his clothes changed more than any other baby in his room.
