baby meet-up

Lil's first play clothes

Today Lil and I headed over to a cafe near McCarren Park to meet up with a few other mamas with babies around Lil's age. We are so glad to get to meet new people who live in our neighborhood, especially people our same age (both Lil and Mama).  In this group, Lil definitely has some competition in the best-dressed department.  There was one baby in particular who caught my eye, a little sweet pea named Agnes.  You'd never guess by looking at this wee sweetie, but she's actually 2 weeks older than Lil. Agnes was dressed in khaki and lime green, a perfect palette for early spring.  Her little jacket features a flower applique, and she even wore lime green maryjane socks from Trumpette... too cute! 

Agnes est trés chic!

You may think our activities would be limited with such small babies.  Indeed, the babies themselves don't do much more than eat, sleep, and spit up,  but the meet-up is also for the mamas.  No matter how many people you know who have or have had kids, there's nothing quite like finding other (new) parents with babies the same age, who all live in the same neighborhood.  Even though our main connection is our babies, I'm willing to bet we'll find we have much more in common than our kids.

Thanks to Gracie for the ivory corduroy overalls and polka dot bodysuit!
