The coats I will mention in a sec. This is another pic of my mom and Lacey, this time, with a dress she got from my friend Brynn. I'm tellin ya, I can't keep this up. This whole "taking-pictures-of baby-in-every-outfit thing" cannot go on for my second child. I'm always thinking, "Should I photo document how cute she looks in this too? " What if I missed something? I don't have the RAM for this obsession.Speaking of obsessions, I need to get control. Anybody have a problem with shopping for that perfect item, and even exhanging something two or three times until you think you get it right? And then once you settle on something, it still bothers you that maybe you should've gotten the other thing?
No? You haven't felt that way? Then maybe I am OCD. The two items I'm still all torn about are the two coats above. They were the same price, on sale. The leather one I thought was adorable. It has fur on on inside but it's not very thick. I bought the puffy one. I thought it would be thicker and warmer for when I do walks around the neighborhood. BUt it's hard to buckle her in her carseat with it on. If you can say anything that helps me think I made the right decision, please do.
Maybe the baby would drool on the leather one. Maybe I can buy her one like it next year or the year after. Maybe I need to do some stinkin community service so I'm not so darn materialistic.
This hat looks like a beret when it's supposed to look like a cute cap like the one the teacher from the show "Glee" wears. One day I will get the perfect hat.
We went to the Electric Light Parade in Phoenix. It was FRIGID that night. The baby screamed her head off. I forgot one of her shoes and her little socked feet were cold and I had that "Mother GUILT" we all get sometimes.
This was obviously, "Pre-Furry-Brown-Coat". As you can guess, the obsession with the coats came partly as a result of the "guilt" mentioned above.

Go to this parade someday! Freeze but enjoy the large balloons, lit-up high school band uniforms, lit-up cars, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio riding in a fire truck. I seriously feared for his life as we were on 7th street and Indian school.
The End

Jill has that problem! :) Me? I just wish I had the extra money to become obsessed like that :)
Love love LOVE the jackets. Stop stressing - they're perfect and versatile and lovely.
Parade sounds like fun, but chilly! We're all still a bit sick around here so we're avoiding chilly nights.
Love that dress, Brynn has great taste!
Jaclyn, I don't have the extra money. That's the ironic part. There is no reason why I should be shopping but I obsess over neccessities that come up with the baby. It took me about two weeks to be willing to stop looking at used stores, and then another week to be willing to pay more than $12.00. I'm so weird.
Cassie, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog. You crack me up! I like jacket #2 the best. And I am the queen of returns so I don't think you're weird at all. I shop online for hours for things I don't or won't buy. Do I have the time or money for this habit??? NO. But it's fun!
Definitely leather. It's the same price and more fashionable :) I'm a little obsessed with shopping too. So unlike me. Merry Christmas!
First of all by more RAM by the time the 2nd child comes you are way to busy. Plus it is a rule to have more pictures of the 1st child and the last one. It is just a rule that is followed without knowing it.
I too have an obsession. Mine is shoes!! I just love shoes. Then purses then anything with crowns on it. Oh boy and I am OCD too, so we are talking major problems here.
Love the post and the pictures. Thank you for sharing with us. Love you, Bobbi Jo
