    @FTM53 That's true. And my friend's 2 year old got a new hat out of the mess :)
    I'm so terrible at monthly pictures anymore and DH is too cheap for professional pictures so I figure it's the least I can do to try and be "that mom" that has her kid in festive wear for each holiday season. I'm just a day behind on this one!

    I just sorted and organized all of M's last week. I'm hanging on to everything though, we haven't said if there will be another yet.  I also got really sad! @DachshundMomma

    Hoping to have a few more, so I'll hold on to most of his clothes, but I get sad every time I pack up a size that he's outgrown. I need to start packing up his 6mo clothes and I'm putting it off...

    We've been in the 90's for the past 2 weeks so I guess at least now if it's warm it's in March. I love doing her monthly pictures. It's like a huge goal for me to get through another month. 

    I've been holding on to some of her stuff. But many items were passed along to me through friends from their kids or their friends kids. So i plan on passing along the clothes as well.

    I kept quite a bit. The majority of what I got rid of were items I wasn't overly fond of or that were super boy. I'd like to have another but it won't be anytime soon. We move every 3 to 4 years so sadly I have to keep things at a minimum.

    I have held onto everything, all of those newborn/3 months clothes are so just tiny and adorable and we plan to have a few more in the future. As for 6 months I will try to be better, because its just so much.

    I don't know if anyone has this problem, but I squeeze C into her 6 months, when she really should be starting to wear 9 months, it just hurts my heart to put another size away :(

    What's everyone's game plan on pacifiers and when you're taking them away? Or am I nut for already thinking about it? I think we'll be taking it away around 1. But not sure if it'll be gradual or just cold turkey.

    The only things that I've been able to give away (my friend has a Sept 2016 girl) are things she never got to wear.  We will probably have another in the future so I'm hoping to be able to re-use them...and if not (or regardless really..) I hope to take squares from the super cute ones and make a quilt out of them. 

    She has been in 12 months for a while and most of them fit her...some of her pants she may need to go up to 18 months very soon (I get less attached to pants)...but I think she may be ready for 18 month pajamas :(:(  HOW?!?!  I can barely zip her 12 months over her thunder thighs.  waaaaaa


    As for the pacis....S LOVES her pacis.  I keep 3 or 4 in her crib in case one falls out or gets thrown out at night she will have backups.  When I go in to get her in the morning she has one in her mouth and one in each hand, haha.  I only let her have them when she is legitimately upset or nap/bedtime.  I will not let her walk/crawl around with one.  With that being said...I'll let her use them probably until 2 unless she doesn't have an interest anymore, pedi says something different, etc because her time with it will be monitored and limited.  She would have it in her mouth all day if I let her.

    We lucked out with pacifiers, when she started teething, she decided she was done (which of course was when I bought more for her), although when she naps she likes to hold onto one, but not use it. With parenting its all trial and error, I think you will know when she is ready to give it up. My plan for weening was to only have them in the crib or in the car during long drives.

    I bought E's summer wardrobe on clearance this fall! So many cute things for ridiculously cheap. Old Navy and Carter's are huge favorites here.

    @HoneyBear40 Haha yep. We're on a super tight budget right now but I seem to forget when I see all the baby clothes. So I have to not go near them! Last time I wanted to get a new pair of pants for me I stood in front of them for like half an hour debating...and they were on the clearance rack....at Meijer.... lol

    I know a while ago ladies were asking about other options to prop baby up in the bath. I wasn't ready at that point but I think we are now. Has anyone found anything good? She really seems to like the idea of sitting up vs laying back in the baby bath.

    @tiffrox81 - i was just thinking that the past few nights.  I believe I was the one that brought it up and ended up making the infant seat work...but as of the past few days I think we may be done.  I start her in it to wash her hair but she is all over the place and sliding out...so once we are clean I just take it out and she sits up and plays.  Not sure how effectively I'm going to be able to wash her lady bits when she isn't laying back...I'm sure I'll figure it out...

    I have a similar tub to @holly142 except ours is a whale.  There's also a squeaking feature for the whale spout.  Our lil man loves it!!!!!

    Ok, good to know! I usually sit in our tub with her.....her in her tub, and me right outside it in the regular bath tub. I might give it a whirl removing her tub and just keeping her with me, and less water. If that's too much then I think I'll try that blow up duck. That looks super cool! And very easy to travel with!!

    Anyone have Robeez shoes for their kiddo? M is super duper couch surfing and I wanted to get her a couple pairs of good shoes. The reviews are good, but hows the traction on the bottom? They seem like they would be slippery.

    We have Robeez shoes. They are great for new walkers because they are so flexible! DD1 wore them outside and never slipped. She wasn't on ice or anything. We always took shoes and socks off when she was inside on hardwoods. Are there certain situations that you are worried about LO slipping? Honestly we only did shoes outside or public places, so 85 percent of the time we do no shoes, so I'm not sure I'm really helping answer...

    I was just thinking about on hardwoods, carpet, and whatever the mall floors are made from in addition to being outside. She has a pair of moccasins and they're cute, but very slippery when we're out and about and she wants to finger walk with us.
