You'd Think We Would've Learned...

During our shopping trip today, we also bought some clothes for Dorothy, who is starting to out-grow her 3-6 months clothes. Of course, we didn't actually look to see how much 6-9 months clothes we already had -- we didn't remember having much. We were wrong.

In addition to items from her baby showers (Chicago, and Elizabeth's work), we forgot that my parents and aunt had gone on a shopping spree back in June, plus we'd picked up one or two 6-9 months items on our last clothes shopping trip.

Here's Dorothy in front of all of her 6-9 months clothes, right before they all get washed for the first time:

Yes, that pile is taller than she is, and 2-3 times as wide.

We appreciate all the gifts of clothes we've received from so many people. But if anyone is thinking of buying Dorothy more clothes any time soon, please don't get anything smaller than 12 months - she won't need it!

And you would think we would have learned our lesson, after going through essentially the same experience when it was time for her to switch to 3-6 months clothes. Alas, you would be wrong. Can we still blame lapses like this on new parent brain?

You can blame them on anything you wish...we blame ours on "old age" and, as far as I can tell, we not THAT old!

Sleep deprived is another good one at your stage of the game. Of course, obsessive/compulsive comes to mind also.
