Blog Move!

I've decided to just use one blog to document my children's wardrobe.  If you follow this one and not Tillie's original, check us out here!

Digger

Teddy started out today in the Carter's bodysuit(Reuben) and Old Navy jeans.

Future Football Player?

This faux-layered hooded tee and track pants are from Carter's by way of Reuben.

Dinosaurs

Tillie has been waiting for Teddy to wear this Talbots Kids outfit since we looked at all of Reuben's clothes on Sunday night.  Talbots doesn't have a kids line anymore, but I remember shopping there with my mom for Kizie. It was a nice blast from the (recent) past.

It appears that Teddy was excited about this outfit too.

p.s. I put socks on him after this picture was taken. 

Fleece Stripes

A cozy striped one-piece from Gap's Micromonters line is Teddy's Reuben-Hand-Me-Down today.  I love how cute and snuggly he looks.

Owl Baby

Today's "Reuben outfit" is a henley owl one-piece from Old Navy.  Tillie is a big fan of this one.

Overalls

You all know I'm a sucker for overalls, so I was happy to see a couple pairs in our bin from Reuben.  These ones are Carter's.

TONS of hand-me-downs!

Teddy's friend Reuben is 10 months older than him.  Last night we got bins of Reuben's clothes for Teddy to use.  It was like an early Christmas for me!  Today Teddy is wearing a Carter's firetruck outfit.  It was nice for his doctor's appointment this morning because I could but the shirt on before vaccinations and it was easy to slip the pants on right after.  (Tillie wearing dresses and BabyLegs was even easier.)

Christmas Tree and Snow

There was traces of snow left on the ground this morning.  We're also getting our Christmas tree tonight so I thought it was a good day for Teddy to wear his reindeer tee.  It's Jumping Beans brand, and is size 3m.  I'd say it runs a little big.  He's wearing it with his Gymboree Little Copter cords -- they go with so much!  He wears them all the time.  They're lined, so I love that they're nice and comfy for him.

My Little Acorn

Teddy is wearing one Tillie's hand-me-down outfits today.  It's from Janie and Jack's A Little Acorn line.  Could there be a line more perfect for my family?  We actually own most of it - kimono outfit, sweater pants, cardigan, one-piece romper, socks, hat, and gown.

Thanksgiving Outfit

Our family ended up all wearing brown, camel and red on Thanksgiving.  It was kind of on accident, but it was kind of awesome.  Teddy is wearing Gap cords, a Gap Portobello bodysuit, a Gymboree Baby Lizard button-up and Gap Greenwich socks.  Hooray for brand/line mixing!

Falling For You

I bought Teddy this Gap outfit at a garage sale thinking the 0-3m would be perfect for this fall.  It's still a little big, but finally looks okay on him(especially in this picture.  I promise it's actually a little big).  Teddy's growing a lot faster than Tillie did, at least he looks healthier, but newborn clothes(non-one-piece) still fit him best at 7 weeks.  I'm baffled by people who say you don't need newborn clothes at all because they get worn for a few days before they're outgrown.  I'm eager to find out what he weighs at his doctor's appointment on the 5th.

Luckily, I only paid 75¢ for it.  I'd feel weird putting this on him after Thanksgiving.  Yes, I know I have weird clothing rules.

Nuts About Mommy

I bought this Carter's outfit on clearance at Macy's when I was pregnant with Tillie.  It's perfect for this fall boy baby!

Third Outfit of the Day

This boy spits up.  Tillie never did.  I'm starting to see why moms say their kid goes through so many outfits in a day.

The Gap Brick Lane bodysuit is from my friend, Robin.  My mom says Tillie picked out the Genuine Kids overalls at Target when she stayed with them when Teddy was born.  They're still a little big.

Bear

Teddy's wearing his Gap Sun Valley bodysuit today with Circo jeans.  The Circo jeans are the "dorky" style with a wide knit waistband.  But hey!  They were 50¢ at a garage sale.  With this double layer bodysuit it covers the waistband nicely.  I love these kinds of bodysuits.

Monkey

Today Teddy and I went to a craft fair.  Word on the street was that no strollers were allowed.  Word was wrong... However, since i knew I would be wearing Teddy in the BabyBjorn I didn't want him to be wearing socks that could get lost.  I bought this Carter's outfit at a consignment sale. Today I layered a long sleeved bodysuit under it for warmth.

Stripes and Cords

Today Teddy is wearing a Gap Portobello striped bodysuit that was a gift from my college roommate, Robin.  The Gap cords I bought at a garage sale for a dollar.  They're still a little big(0-3m).

This picture was awkwardly cropped from a picture of Tillie and Teddy together.  He's kind of, almost smiling.

Trees

When I saw this bodysuit at Old Navy I knew I had to get it.  Luckily I found it for $2 on clearance.  He's wearing it with Old Navy jersey lined denim.  Both items are size 0-3.  We put socks on before we left the house.

Baby Blue

Well, it's official.  Both of my kids look good in baby blue.  Teddy is wearing a Gymboree Brand New Baby crocodile tee and pants today.  The tee is short-sleeved so I added his hoodie from another Brand New Baby line.  (The newborn layette at Gymboree is always called Brand New Baby.)  The socks are from Gap and actually stay on now that his feet are a little bigger.

Overalls

I love overalls on little kids.  While sorting through buckets I found that Teddy has at least 2 pairs in each size up to 12m.  I pick them up when I find them cheap at garage sales and forget about them.  You really can't have too many overalls, so it's not a problem for me!  I got these Gap ones for $1 or so.  They're lined which makes them great for a newborn.  They're also from 2001 so they've been washed a lot which makes them even softer.  He's wearing them with a Carter's bodysuit.  (The green happens to be a perfect match for Tillie's Mini-Boden dress, which she is wearing today.)

Happy Halloween!

Teddy is wearing an Old Navy "Cowardly Lion" costume I bought last year for $1.

Layered Plaid

I found this Gymboree Baby Lizard plaid button down for $3 last week.  I thought with a Carter's bodysuit it would be great for church this fall.  I also found the Gymboree Tiny Copter cargo cords for $3.  They actually don't match at all, but somehow the green looks good with the brown/red/blue plaid.

He kind of looked like a little lumberjack, especially when I put his hat on.

Bunny(Puppy?) Ears

I asked my mom if this Gymboree Brand New Baby hoodie was too girly and she said no.  When I showed it to Tillie this morning she gave me the side eye and said no.  Apparently big sis is already looking out for her little brother and trying to keep him cool.

I don't care, I think it's freakin' adorable!  He's wearing it with his Gap Water Garden bodysuit and Gap Greenwich sweater pants.  I like that I was able to get a few more wears out of the short sleeved bodysuit by layering over it.  It's my favorite clothing item we have in newborn size and I was sad he wouldn't get to wear it anymore.  You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a newborn sized jacket or cardigan.  I really wanted a cream cardigan, but they don't exist for newborn boys apparently.

Owl Always Love Mommy

My cousin Cara gave Teddy an owl bodysuit from this Crazy 8 line.  I thought it was so cute I went to see what other items the had in-store since it won't fit him for a while.

Teddy's first pair of jeans.  Cute little man!  He looks older already.

Puppies

I got this Carter's one-piece for 50¢ at a garge sale.  It's 0-3months, but it seems to run a little smaller than other 0-3m outfits.

My Little Pumpkin

Today Teddy is wearing a Carter's pumpkin romper.  I figured he better wear it today so he can wear it more than once before Halloween.  It's too bad it's not newborn size, it would fit better.  Story of his life, so far.

Collars for Church

Tillie has always worn woven(or sweater) dresses for church.  For Teddy, he'll mostly likely always have a collar(or a sweater).

This First Impressions collared one-piece is still too big, but with the sleeves and legs rolled it's not too bad.  It's the only collared item he owns in a size that might possible fit him, plus it kind of matched Tillie's outfit today.  It has a screen print of a silver robot on it.

Cozy Bear

I bought this Gap Sun Valley bodysuit when I was pregnant, just in case I had a boy.  (I did do this with girl things too, just not as much because I might have quite a collection of girl clothes already.)  It was super-cheap and I love the layered bodysuit look.  It's 0-3 months, so it should fit him for a while.  It's too big now, but not too big that he can't wear it.  The Gap Greenwich sweater pants are newborn, so they fit him great.  But, with the different sizes he kind of looks like he's wearing a tunic with leggings.  Eh, he's a baby.  I promise I won't make him wear this kind of look when he's older!  At least he was warm tonight.

Oh, and his socks from The Children's Place look kind of dorky too.  Sorry, Teddy.

Acorn

I bought this Carter's outfit at a consignment sale when I was pregnant.  It says "I'm nuts about Grandpa" and has an acorn on it.  What's not to love?

Oh, how about the fact that when I went to put it on him I notice that the pants are size 3m, while the bodysuit is newborn.  So, the pants are huge.  I put them on him anyway.  We're kind of lacking in newborn pants, but I'm banking on him growing faster than Tillie so I don't want to buy any.

I got the hat at a garage sale.  It's too small for him already.  I guess Tillie will get it for her Bitty Baby!

Cozy Fleece

Have you gotten sick of seeing Teddy in outfits that are too big for him?  Here's another!  This is a 0-3 outfit from Carter's.  It nice and cozy, but after I put the vest on him I realized it might be a suffocation hazard while he's in his car seat, so he didn't wear that part when we went out today.  Hopefully it fits better in another month or so and he can actually wear it!  I love the blue/green color combo on this outfit.  His socks are from the Gymboree Brand New Baby 5-pack I have, but a new color he hasn't worn before!

Lion

Here's another too big 0-3 month outfit on Teddy.  It's from Gymboree's Brand New Baby line.  I have some Carter's newborn clothes, but they're pretty much just as big as these outfits I've been putting on him lately.  Today is is 7lbs 13oz, so at least he's gaining weight faster than Tillie did!

Still Too Big

Most of Teddy's clothes are still too big for him.  It just hangs at his neck.  Little guy needs to grow because I kind of really hate too big clothes on kids.  This is a 0-3 Gap Greenwich one-piece.  Tillie picked it out, probably because it has animals on it.  The socks are Gymboree Brand New Baby and the hat with a wood button was a gift from a friend.

Baseball

It's totally the wrong colors, but here's hoping the Tigers come around and win this series.  I bought this Carter's outfit for $1 at Sears when I was pregnant with Tillie.  I didn't return it because, hello, a dollar!  It's newborn size but still has a lot of room for this little guy to grow.  The socks are from Gymboree's Brand New Baby line.  Tillie thinks it's so funny they're socks AND shoes.

Mushroom

When I was pregnant with Tillie I found these Gymboree Autumn Forest pants for super-cheap when I was in Chicago.  They didn't have a matching shirt, but I couldn't resist something so cute and tiny.  I appliqued a Gerber onesie with a little mushroom to match them.  This was the second applique that I did and I'm never making one on such a small shirt again!  It was pretty hard to fit the sewing machine.

It may as well be a requirement

Little brothers have to have at least one "little brother" shirt.  Carter's always has them in stock for a great price.

Stripes

I bought this Gap bodysuit super-cheap when I was pregnant, just in case I had a boy.  I think it's from the Water Garden line.  (Let me know if you know for sure!)  Normally I'm not really a bodysuit without pants kind of girl, but he doesn't have any pants that match this that fit him.  And, it's suppose to be 80* today.  His legs will mostly be covered by a blanket all day anyway.

Little Frog

Newborns like to keep their legs all folded up resembling frogs.  That made this Gymboree Playtime Frog romper pretty fitting.  It's preemie size and I bought it for around 50¢ at a garage sale this summer.  Oddly, I have no newborn short sleeved bodysuits so he's wearing a Carter's kimono top underneath.  When Tillie saw him this morning she said, "Ah, Teddy!  He cute!"

He was 7lbs 6oz and 20" long when he was born, so newborn clothes should fit him no problem.  They're ridiculously huge on him though.  I tried a Carter's preemie outfit on him yesterday and it would have been great width-wise, but was way too short.  I have to give a shout out to the Zutano Itzy Bitzy outfit he was wearing yesterday.  The fit was wonderful.  I highly recommend them in the newborn size if you have babies that are around 7lbs. Although, I might stay away from the one-piece outfits if your babies are tall.  I think Teddy would be too tall for a footed newborn one-piece from them.  Also, Amazon typically has good prices on that brand.

Teddy's First Outfit

As Teddy's "coming home from the hospital outfit" we have a cute kimono bodysuit and cocoa hat and pants from Zutano's Forest Fun line.   The cream newborn socks are from The Children's Place.
