I am totally with you! I actually started having anxiety the minute I found out I was having a girl. I can’t even fix my own hair, how am I supposed to fix my little girl’s hair??? I am happy to report that while she dresses pretty casual most of the time, I do enjoy dressing her up sometimes. I guess that part just came out of my naturally even though I didn’t think it would be there :)

P.S. He is sooooo cute!!

there aren’t any cute boy clothes unless you can spend a ton of money, so my favorite outfit for my baby is a solid onesie and babylegs leggings in the blue and green stripes. and i like how his hair is free and crazy looking. also, when we are home i like him in just a diaper, cause i feel like al little boy should always be just naked. haha.

I think there is NOTHING cuter than a baby in a cloth diaper. That is it. But with girl number 2 on the way let me tell you…..the clothes can be overwhelmming!

Well, for starters, boys get the short end of the stick when it comes to fashion. It is SO hard to find “NICE” outfits ( ie: church worthy) without spending an arm and a leg. That being said….
Onesies ROCK!! That is pretty much what Man Cub wore his first summer. He had this inane sense of timing. The minute I got him dressed up for church/pictures/ u-name it, he would ERUPT! Onsies are a heck of alot simpler to change, wash and pack. Babies are naturally cute. Who needs a flashy outfit?

I have a boy and I have a girl.
The boy was the first and easy for me. Onesies, shorts and a cute shirt, and just whatever. My daughter wore lots of his hand me downs as well as the ubiquitous sweel little dresses with matching panties. She didn’t have hair until she was four. She wouldn’t wear a head band or a hat and since she looked just like her brother at that age, I made sure to write on pics the year/the child so we wouldn’t be terribly confused.
But it is okay that I am fashion inept because she is fashion “ept.” As soon as she could, she told me no and she picked out what she wanted. If we both had opinions, it would be bad. We were shopping for clothes once when she was about four. There was an outfit I adored. I asked her, “If I buy this, will you wear it.” She said a sweet but firm “No.” The saleslady was most aghast (see your previous post about unwanted baby advice) that I wouldn’t buy it and make her wear it. What is the point of that. She is 12 now and still has definite ideas. But she “lets” me pick out what she wears for big family events, her older brother’s high school graduation, Thanksgiving, family pics; and you know what, I am okay with that. She also is not into the hoochie mama clothes, the tight, more revealing shorts/shirts/pants, so I feel no need to step in and advise. For us, it works. YMMV

I have my 2 girls and I can say with certainty that they are always, and always will be, much better dressed than me! I put much more effort into their clothes than I do mine… I LOVE all of the coordinating and cutesie-ness! It’s getting to be a challenge now that my independent 4-year-old wants to pick out her own clothes and we can have knock-down-drag-out fights about shoes that match or not. I can’t stand letting her go in public wearing some of the things she picks out. Although with the baby, I do LOVE warm weather when I can just have her in a onesie… just for the EASE of diaper changes!!! No pants to wrangle with, or sleepers to shove her legs (which still seem to prefer to scrunch up like in the womb) into… Oh, and the hair!!! I don’t know what I will do when the little one gets older and I will have TWO little heads of hair to style!!! Hubby better learn to ponytail and braid, stat! :-)
Oh, and as a side note… I can’t believe how BIG Evan looks!!!

I have the best of both worlds, my daughter us 4 and has always been a girly girl probably because she was the first and got every cute baby outfit from everyone. She now picks her clothes out for preschool with matching accessories and dont don’t forget about the shoes LOL my boy in the other he’s all boy and can be rough so I keep his clothing simple. I’ve come to realize boys are a whole different species than girls LOL

He has a very gentle, wise look about him. Your son is beautiful (yes, beautiful.. I’m not into gender-specificity…)

I strongly believe kids should dress like kids. My 3 year old girl wears whatever she wants (which often doesn’t match) and usually includes knit pants and a random t-shirt from the second hand shop. Everything I buy for her is washable. There is no sense in dressing little girls up like china dolls. This Easter I watched, with great amusement, as my sister-in-law tried to keep a frilly, non-cotton, overdone, fancy toddler Easter dress clean while her 2 year old ate chocolate cake in it. Why?!
