I'm generally of the opinion that babies don't need to be dressed up all the time. I doubt that I will be a fussy parent who plays dress-up with the baby as if the child is a doll. In general, I think it might be okay to just put the kid in the bare essentials and then let said child roll around in the dirt outside. So, not too worried about baby clothes. However, I do confess to certain weaknesses.
One, I love baby hats. Love love love baby hats. I especially love the quirky ones that make the baby look like they have puppy/kitty/bear ears. Of course, I hear that babies hate hats and maybe they especially hate quirky hats. I can understand this, but it doesn't stop me at all. Over time, this love has grown into the second weakness. I mean, why just stop with a child's head?
Two, I love baby costumes. And not just as Halloween costumes. I think it would be perfectly acceptable to go to the grocery store with a baby dressed as a ladybug at absolutely anytime of the year (just as long as the baby was comfortable). I was thinking I might buy a rabbit romper being sold for Halloween so that Sprout can wear it in the spring. Oh, pity the Sprout, as my sister Dawn is helping me indulge in this weakness.
Exhibit #1. The bee romper. It has teeny mesh wings on the back.
Exhibit #2. The dinosaur costume. Well, this one might only be appropriate closer to Halloween for the cooler fall weather when it may or may not fit, but Sprout will have try it on at least a couple of times.
Pity the Poor Sprout....
