Why do we accessorize our babies?

Sunday at church one of our friends looked at Judah's shoes (the first time in 6 months that he has worn any) and asked me if he was running a race today. After we all laughed one of the guys commented on how babies didn't need shoes and such. Give 'em a diaper and a onsie and call it a day.

Saturday night we had finally had an outside temp that was below scorching. I pulled out an adorable outfit that Patrick had bought for Judah but it just didn't look "finished". I whipped out a cute pair of shoes and just like magic it became the perfect look. So he wore the shoes again for church on Sunday. Magic I tell you!


I love to see babies in hats. It's a little funny and a lot of cute. When I picked Judah up from my Mom one afternoon he was wearing one of my favorites. A minute alone with Piper and the cute little hat turned hip-hop for a fresh new style. His bib even hints to a hip-hop name...Lil Peanut.

So you can see it isn't just Mom and Dad who give babies articles of clothing they could care less about. Grandparents, big sisters and big brothers get in on it too because it's so much fun. And so darn cute!!
