yipes stripes

Lil got a new sweater last week. It's a nice simple cotton pullover from Oshkosh B'gosh, and it's roomy enough to throw a layer or two underneath. Nothing too fancy, no crochet detail, no fancy embroidery, or buttons, or bell sleeves. Just play clothes, pure and simple. As cute as Lil looks in her little ruffles and pleats and all those lovely dresses, she's at the age now where she just wants to wear something comfy and secure.

Thankfully, this doesn't mean Lil has to dress all blahh. Nice, juicy fruit stripes on top and bottom, and some cute little punky socks will give her just enough edge while she explores her surroundings and perfects those new skills. I have a feeling that footwear will be playing a larger roll on the blog soon!

heaps of cute

It was a little brisk for the park, but our babies are pretty resilient here in Williamsburg.  Plus, they're very well-dressed by their mamas.  Today Lil was sporting an old sweater dress, which at this stage fits more like a sweater, and a pair of suede booties from Robeez.  Her knit polar bear cap topped the ensemble with a touch of warmth.

Lil and Evan, right

it's Miss Ivy!

Lil's buddies, Ivy and Evan, met us at the park, and the cooler temps charged these babies' batteries.  They were off and about, crawling and cruising all over the place.  Occasionally, there were some baby pile-ups, collisions, and well-intentioned mishaps, but all in all our wee ones has a wonderful time together.

With their little jackets, jumpers, hats and booties, these little people are not just ready for the temperatures, they look ready for a fashion spread in baby Vogue (does that even exist yet? No? Well call Anna Wintour and tell her the first feature is ready to print! Whatever is she waiting for?)!
