This outfit is so impractical, I love it! What I love even more is that I didn’t buy one thing she is wearing!

The hat: From Chico’s… a gift from Grammie’s fall outing with her girlfriends

The poncho: From a local baby boutique… a birthday gift from a very generous friend of the family

The shoes: From Preschoolians… a “just because” gift from boyfriend Cricket

The pants: On loan from my awesome girlfriend who has supplied 98 percent of Emma’s wardrobe

Put all those things with my baby’s smile, and it doesn’t get any better than that!

Who says army gear can’t be feminine?!

So, we have yet another ear infection and a VERY gooey left eye, so I went to the vault and resurrected another fashionable moment from Emma’s “younger years.”

To get us in the Christmas spirit, I chose her first official Christmas dress, which she decided to eat every second she got. The proof was certainly evident in her diapers, which were decorated with digested white fur. Yep, that’s right. Now go get yourself a snack! 😉

How is it we were outside just 2 days ago, playing around in our sweaters and now we are all bearing down for 10 inches of snow? Only in the Midwest…
