Inventory
Last week I decided to sort through our stash of baby clothes (and start washing everything, now that Sunlight makes detergent for sensitive skin which is compatible with HE washers). Our friends Jo and Timothy have lent us an astonishing volume of baby clothes, and I'd lost track all around of how much 'stuff' we have and what we still need to get.
I meant to get a photo that compared the pile of clothes that we own, and what we've borrowed. It was quite astonishing. Alas, preggie brain hit, and once again I forgot that I had a camera within arm's reach.
Nevertheless, since baby clothes are so darn cute, here's the inventory of things we've either bought or received as gifts:
The very first baby clothes I bought for Bärchen, a set imported from France, bought at a shop in Old Montréal, and later found at a boutique in Richmond.... agh! Cats and fish, what's not to love?
The only other items of clothing I've bought. Four diaper shirts (different sizes), and one footless sleeper:
Courtesy of Nanny:
The white knit set (sweater, bonnet, and booties) is a gift from my grandmother; the yellow sweater was knitted by a friend of my aunt; the multi-coloured hat is a Peruvian souvenir from Jacquie; the super-soft blanket is another gift from Nanny:
Booties! The grizzly bear booties are from Nanny, the other two pairs (squirrels and teddy bears) we bought when we picked up the stroller and crib mattress:
(Yes, this weekend we're going shopping.)

A-ha!! I know exactly where Jacquie got that hat!!!
You call them diaper shirts? We call them "onesies." If only my brother-in-law had known about the diaper shirt . . . after his daughter was born, he pleaded with me, "isn't there another name for these things, so I don't have to constantly be referring to 'onesies'?"
Now I know - I'll have to clue him in before his next baby comes along in March!
Jacquie said you told her about that store!
As for diaper shirts v. onesies: my understanding (quite possibly very, very incorrect!) is that onesies pull on over the head (like a t-shirt) and diaper shirts have the snaps down the torso and do up more like a shirt.
Wow! I had never thought about the distinction! The diaper shirts are, I believe, more useful in the early days than the over-the-head ones, because you can sort of roll baby into them, instead of trying to wiggle them over the head!
OH, and as for the hat - let's just say that baerchen and Alec will be matching buddies around UBC come January!
