Clothes, clothes, and more clothes!
My mom came out to visit for a couple days, and she brought me three huge boxes of clothes for Isabella. They were given to her by her friend who has a daughter with twin girls. I'm not quite sure why she wanted me to have them as this lady has 8 children and 30 some grandchildren - I would think there would be some other little girls in there somewhere. Anyway, I am so grateful - these clothes are awesome, most are like brand new and SO cute! There are clothes from her size now, 6 months, all the way up to 3T, even three nice coats and a snow suit! Yay!! Getting bigger clothes for her is always so bittersweet for me, I love putting her in new outfits, but it's so sad to put the clothes away that are too small. (I admit, I've put her in pants that are too short and passed them off as capris) :-) She's growing too fast, I want her to stay my little baby. I sometimes get out her preemie clothes and I can't even believe they used to be too big for her - I swear they wouldn't even fit most dolls! Anyway - I suppose I better end this before I start getting all emotional.

Hand-me-downs are fabulous! I hope we'll still have clothes that are in good shape to hand down to someone else some day when our kids are grown. My problem with getting clothes too big now is forgetting where I put them!
We have all of Ava's clothes up to 24 months, and she still give me clothes that she outgrows. I know what you mean about putting clothes away. I was SO sad when she outgrew 0-3 months and I had to pack them all away, even though she only wore some of them once or twice. Now she's in 3-6 months and I'll be sad when she outgrows them too! I really hope I have at least one more girl to get some more use out of these clothes. (I'd like to have several more girls!)
i echo beth. our girls are close in age and we usually go through the clothes changes about the same time. it is bittersweet. Maggie wears 9 month stuff now and whenever I look at newborn stuff in stores I'm amazed she was ever that small.
