Here's a tip.

A tip for all you prego soon to be moms and maybe the newbie mom's like me. Buy clothes as your baby grows! About once a month I go through Laila's clothes and clean out her drawers and her super organized closet since she is growing like a weed. I so far (keep in mind she is only 7 months) have two big tubs full of outgrown clothes, hats, and shoes. Her growth has slowed down the past month and I think now we are sticking to buying 12-18 or 18-24 month clothes. No less! She can fit into some of her 6-12 month, but they are getting a little snug. Can you believe it...our 7 month is already fitting into toddler clothes. Depending on the type of clothes. Carter's onesies are a godsend...and she is still fitting into the 9 month of those. I try to keep all Laila's clothes organized to size, so I won't forget to put her in something. This is why my tip is to buy as your little one grows...I am trying to get Laila's "winter" clothes together (yea I know what your thinking...winter clothes in Florida? but that little...or shall I say big body of her's needs to stay warm). I just added eight sweaters that Laila either wore once, or didn't wear at all, into her tub! Adorable ones from BabyGap and Old Navy! Breaks my heart! Maybe I can try fitting her into some of them once it gets cool...sweaters normally run big right? Oh! and not to mention I threw about six pairs of size 2 shoes in with it that she barely wore. She is now in size 3 and has such a high instep, so it's hard to find her shoes. This bring me to the conclusion that I need to start bargain shopping or buying bigger sizes. You can not get me out of BabyGap, Janie and Jack, or Old Navy...i'm dangerous! How can you pass up those adorable clothes you see on the racks? This is what happens when God gave me a girl. Let's just hope we will have another girl sometime with wanting more kids, so I get good use of all of Laila's beautiful clothes again. My little girl has to be stylin! And it doesn't help that I am a shopaholic and can't help but buying her more and more clothes! It used to be all about going crazy and buying outfits for me, now it's all about my little girl. yea...I know her mommy spoils her. But hey...i'm aloud to aren't I?

tell me about it!!! before tyler reached his 12 month clothing he NEVER wore anything twice! what a waste.
oh well. although now he is in 12-18 month (he is tiny) and he has been in that for about 6 months..so the growing did slow down some :)
