Saving coming home outfits/sentimental outfits

tri-reader

I'm going through our baby clothes to prepare for #3 and sadly last baby.  What did you do to save your child's coming home outfit or any other sentimental outfit?  And on a side note, this is so sad to do.  Saying goodbye to such cute clothes and baby stage.

I've got a bag of special stuff and a bag of cool t-shirt he loved. The shirts will be turned into a quilt one day.

my mom bought me a chest, looks like a treasure chest. sounds cheesy, but she suggested I put the little keepsake stuff. I like to throw things out, so i rarely save anything. but the chest is perfect for the little things i wanted to keep, like the hat both boys wore in the hospital my mom knitted, their medical bands from birth etc. 

i have been thinking about you guys a lot and hoping everything is going smoothly with your remodel and ethans recovery!

Actually, I've been taking photos of my favorite outfits. For now, I'm keeping everything, but before I pack away my favs in the garage, I take photos of them and plan to have pages in her baby book with photos of my fav things (her first dress, my fav 0-3 month PJs, first jacket that she wore all winter, etc) and photos of her in the outfits if I have any.

It also helps me practice my photography skills.

Me too! Let me know if you need anything! I am only 20 minutes away! I am not much of a saver either but my mom saved a lot of my baby clothes and I have loved dressing the girls in "vintage" things! So I will save all of that and other special things like hospital garb and fancy dresses. Anything stained or just regular old play clothes I am donating or putting in the rag bag. PS: I am sad Olive is my last baby too. I know it is the best choice for our family but it is hard to admit that time in my life is done. It really helps when I pass things along to other new moms who I know appreciate it (like her bassinet, newborn clothes, etc.)

I've got them in plastic tubs. I'd love to get a chest when we get a bigger place to store favorite outfits, blankets, toys etc.

I'm saving all the special outfits/blankets/etc. and I'll have them made into a quilt.  I don't know how to quilt so I'm going to nervously send them to someone and hope for the best!

Well, DH's mom just brought me DH's coming home gown that his aunt made him. I think she had it hanging up in a spare bedroom closet, along with all the little dresses his aunt made DH's sisters.

DS coming home outfit is hanging in his closet.  My other favorites are in a special box in the garage.  But updating the box is totally on my to do list for the summer.
