In Style

Well, hello there.  Thomas is sacked out after a long weekend of birthday parties, both for himself, and his friend, so I thought I'd take this time to update the blog for you.

 I'm 9 weeks old now, and just delightful.  I slept for 6 hours straight the other night, so mommy's feeling refreshed again.  I'm weighing in at about 12 pounds, which incidentally is less than Thomas weighed at this age.  Just as a point of reference, Thomas was 11 lbs. 3 ounces at 5 weeks.  I was 11 lbs. 9 ounces at 8 weeks, so you do the math.  
  Anyway, hitting the 12 pound mark affords me some advantages, and that is that I can finally fit into 3 month clothes, which, let's be honest, is really when they start getting cute.  Speaking of cute outfits, let's discuss this little number I have on, shall we.

This footie pajama is from Gap's fall collection.  It was given to me by my Aunt Catherine for Christmas.  It's cute, not just because I'm wearing it, but because of it's many details.  Let's start with the obvious, and talk about the color.  As you can see, this outfit has a nice neutral brown as it's main color.  But it's not a harsh brown, it's sort of muted, which goes nicely with my complexion.  The brown is of course accented with some delightful pink ballerinas, which are my thing.  I'm all about the ballerinas.  But this outfit is precious beyond the color and ballerinas.  You might have noticed the ruching allong the snaps down the middle.  Ruching is a technique used in the fashion world to add a little detail to an outfit, and I think it does a nice job here, don't you?  It's very popular these days, and I think it gives a nice visual affect here, without highlighting my rolls.  NOT that I have rolls, just you know, if I did, the ruching would not draw attention to them.

Anyway, let's talk about the back.



Do you see what the designer did here?  In keeping with the balerina theme, it's like a tutu, except it's not.  It's only on the back, so it's just a little ruffle accent.  Clever, right?  Cute and fancy like a tutu, but not cumbersome.  Plus, it makes my butt look totally adorable.

So, this is fun. Don't you feel like you know so much more about me, and fashion now that I've explained all this to you? Get ready for a lot more of this because since discovering that I was a girl in July, mommy has received approximately one package each week from some retailer with clothing for me. I have a closet full of clothes that I haven't even worn yet, so I'll be showcasing them all here, just for you. Thomas should be really pleased with that too.  I mean it, he'll be pleased.  He adores me .

 It was really cold that day, and I honestly think mommy dressed me in that just for a laugh.  It sort of looks like Thomas was laughing at me too, but the jokes on them, because I still look adorable.

Anyway, Thomas and I will be doing some more blog posts soon, so keep checking back!

Kisses,
Sofia
