Girlie Stuff! Shopping! Glitter!

Am I the only mom who fashions each day's outfit for my daughter around a headband? or shoes? or tights? I truly do. These are some of the reasons I wanted (prayed for, willed, begged, and pleaded for) a girl - it is SO much fun to me. Anything that has a tutu or glitter or hearts or an accessory is something I love. Michele (the twin) is the complete opposite. My poor little niece Allie only dresses like a girl when Jay dresses her - then he pulls out all the stops! But Michele grabs the closest outfit and that's what she gets - none of the 75 headbands or 14 pair of shoes on her dresser. Just the outfit. Granted, she has three additional children to dress but they are all boys and so they should be the ones who are just dressed in anything!

I love it. I have already had two photo shoots done with Juliette and she's only 8 months old. I am already setting up a girlie cake smashing photo shoot for her first birthday! I am seriously considering just dipping her in glue and then dragging her through glitter for that occasion. (Disclaimer: please do not leave a comment telling me this is not "safe." I know that. But still.) 

But the shoes and hats and mini sunglasses and leotards and fancy-pants and butt covers - there's just TOO much cuteness! I have been very good about controlling my online shopping because there are entire websites, geared towards suckers like me, selling baby outfits for $100 that will literally be worn ONE time (and likely for only a couple of hours, if that).  But how do you resist teeny-tiny cowgirl boots? How? I can't do it. I know they will fall off of her. I know she will hate them. I know they will only "fit" for about one month. But that one Wednesday, when I decide she's going to be a cowgirl, it will make my day to reach over and grab those teeny-tiny $65 boots.

I tried her Halloween costume on yesterday (one I purchased on clearance while I was still pregnant just in case it was a girl - I knew it was a girl). She does make the cutest little ladybug. But then I sent a picture to almost everyone I know and so then I had to go out and get a new costume. She cannot be a ladybug twice! I know. It's a problem.

My Good Luck Ladybug - could you eat her up?!

If any other moms have girlie Must-Do's, please please I beg of you, share them with me in the comments!

Love,
Momeo and Juliette
