Un Bebe Classique

To put it frankly, I like a well dressed baby. I also like it when babies look and dress like babies. If there is one thing that bothers me it is a baby dressed like a teenager or adult. Baby clothes are so cute, so why dress them in clothes they will wear for the rest of their life? I love smocking, peter pan collars, light colors (but also purple), and cotton tights.

Give me this:

Isn't this outfit adorable! It was actually mine and has survived these 22 years.

Don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks?!?!

A baby is so cuddly and kissable (especially Elanor!), so why not dress them in clothes to match?

On another note, Elanor and I have been having a grand old time in Oregon. We had Elanor's baby shower today hosted by Caitlin and Mallory (thank you!). It was wonderful to see so many good friends, eat tasty food, open up some really great gifts, and Elanor decided to be well behaved, which was the icing on the cake. All in all, a wonderful afternoon!

At the shower, we played a game to guess who said what quote about childhood. I loved this one and will end with this:

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."

~Albert Einstein
