Just wondering what new clothes everyone is getting for their munchkins as spring gets near. Show pictures if you've got 'em!

I've been very busy shopping for Emily!

First, there was this dress. I took Emily over to JCP for her 8-month portraits. She was wearing her adorable little Valentine's Day dress... and just as we were walking back to get started, she spit up ALL over the dress! So I had to pack her back up and take her upstairs to the children's department and buy her something new to wear. I thought this little Carter's dress was so cute, and it was in the mid-60's here that day so I figured she could look springy to match the weather! And it ended up working out great because to go with the dress, the photographer used this adorable garden background, complete with Astroturf for Emily to sit on and a little white picket fence behind her. Anyway, here she is in the outfit!

Then back out shopping yesterday! Everything is from The Children's Place except the last dress. I love this whole little outfit (the blues match IRL!) :

(the skirt has shorts underneath, it's so cute!)

And this swim coverup - I also got the matching swimsuit which for some reason is not on the website!

And this sweet little Carter's dress. I thought she could wear it for Easter. I would love to put her in one of those super-girly Easter dresses with the tulle skirts, but let's face it - she's crawling, so how well would that work?

Jill, I love that last suit - Caroline LIVED in that type of stuff the summer before she was walking! We also have the same navy skort/shorts, except in a considerably larger size. :supergrin:

We have this skirt http://www.childrensplace.com/www/b/TCP/images/styles/117954_m.jpg
with both pink and blue shirts to coordinate (from TCP)

http://www.childrensplace.com/www/b/TCP/images/styles/123266_m.jpg On clearance at the TCP outlet!

From Old Navy, but the one we got has pink flowers instead of checkers

This has been some of my less-organized shopping lately, oddly enough. I ended up with TONS of shirts and tops for her, and maybe 2 pair of shorts. :wtf:

I got this & a bunch of other Carter's rompers, but I can't find any pictures....

Oh, fun! Cute clothes, everyone! I'm not sure I can find pictures of everything online, but I'll try.
We got this shirt:

And a skirt to match that isn't on the website.

And a light blue terry jogging outfit, with matching onesie and mix-and-match shirt and overalls. And a blue umbrella bathing suit, with matching sunglasses, all from Gymboree. We also got a few more wintery items, since it doesn't get that hot here. We got some jeans with embroidered hearts, and a red, white and pink heart sweater, and a pink and white heart sweater. And matching socks and hair accessories for all of the outfits. Oh! And this is Katie's Easter dress, I think. Either that, or it's just a church dress. I haven't decided for sure if it's too crazy for Easter. :lol: It's from Hanna Andersson. It's this one, but in the pink, not the aqua.

I think MIL has a few other things for Katie, but she likes to keep them at her house, so I don't know what they are!

There are several dresses in the Spring 2004 Baby Lulu line that I'm in love with, but we probably won't be getting them, and I can't steal the pictures from the website to show you all, anyway. :lol:

I love all the outfits they are adorable :) I love the little carter's dresses. I bought Emma a Carters set for Summer but I can't find it online.

I went to gyboree last weekend to use my gymbucks. This is what I got her for Spring/summer.

I TOTALLY agree...:sad:

I was going to say the same thing as Nocona. All Liam has are shorts and striped shirts and maybe a hawaiian shirt or cartoon character shirt.

Umm a friend of the family gave me all her gymbucks...her last grandson just outgrew the biggest size they make, so she is done with gymboree...would you believe it was enough to get 50% off about $800 worth of clothes...and that my mom was willing to pay $200 of it... We had to do it on like 7 trips though, but Janelle is set for Spring! So basically every dress and pair of overalls gymboree has right now in the 12-18month size Janelle has. She can't wear pants or shorts of any sort...25th percentile for height and -15th for weight makes for a very skinny girl so pants just fall off.

Ohh, I bought Caid a few one piece romper type things from gymboree as well...but that's all I could find that I liked (I'm staying away from pants till I know if he can wear them)...boy clothes are so not fun!

I've been on a binge lately for Teagan. I bought a bunch of stuff from Lette, that was all either NWT or in excellent shape, and it just continued from there! Now if the weather would just improve so she could wear some of it! :rolleyes:

Rory, well, she still doesn't have much! Guess she's next! :lol:

I saw these a few weeks ago at Old Navy, and got them today...

Simple, but still girly! :lol:

I got her a couple of other things, but can't find them on the site!

jen - that green flowered outfit is really adorable!

boy stuff sucks :complain: especially as they get older.

Jen, I was admiring both the hannah Anderson outfits you bought in the catalogue that I just recieved. I been debating whether to get them thanks to the exchange rate and duties. I will think about it a bit. :biggrin:

I'm going crazy with clothes for Maya. Just as I predicted, having a little girl is going to put me in the poorhouse. :blush: I've been shopping sales and things, though, so I can justify it. My only problem is guessing at sizes. She's five months old and can still fit into some 0-3, and a lot of the 3-6 clothes are too big on her. Thankfully it stays warm here well into October, so she'll be able to wear them for a while and grow into them.

Oh man...look at all the cute girl stuff!!!!!! I bought Norah a few of those Carters rompers when they were on sale at Kohls, but other than that, I think I got her a sundress from Old Navy. I need to go shopping, but I am not sure if she needs more 3-6, or 6-9. Anyway, its still cool here, so i can wait & catch some of the sales!
Here is the sundress I got her:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/Splash72n.jpgI LOVE those two! I've never bought anything from Hanna before, but seeing all of this cute stuff, wow...I'm impressed! The exchange will kill me though! :blue: I love the green Gymbo one too, I love that flower print!

I'm going crazy with clothes for Maya. Just as I predicted, having a little girl is going to put me in the poorhouse. :blush: :lol: Try having TWO to shop for! :eek: :lol:

I really like it (I'm totally into patchwork rigth now!)

I love this thread! :aok:
