A new wardrobe for Bowen, Part 1

At Bowen’s 5-month check-up, we found out that he is the average size of an 11-month-old (!)  No wonder he’s not fitting into his 6-month outfits anymore.

In the months leading up to his birth, I collected a huge wardrobe of clothes for Bowen, ranging from newborn size all the way up to 12-month size.  Needless to say, he outgrew nearly everything in his dresser after his first 3 months.

So the poor little guy has been long overdue for some new clothes (that he doesn’t have squeeze his chubby little body into).

Here’s one of his new outfits:


I’m still busy trying to finish painting in the nursery. I’ve tried to squeeze in a little painting here and there while Michael’s at work or studying, but Bowen usually insists that I hold and play with him instead. I have tried to paint while holding him on my hip, but it just doesn’t work. Oh well. I’m just happy to have a baby who loves to be with me. I’ll take that over painting any ol’ day of the week.
