Ok, first is an unsolicited product placement.  The photo on the left shows our counter after we’ve sterilized all the bottles we typically go through in a 24 hour period.  Then my sister got us this unit from Skip Hop that organizes the chaos. 

Having done the parenting thing for a few months, here are some of my observations:

1. Why, oh why do diaper shirts and sleepers have 3 dozen snaps?  Snaps down the front; snaps down one leg; snaps down both legs; extra snaps for the backdoor vent; etc.  What’s wrong with zippers or Velcro?! 
2. Whacked out sizing.  We just uploaded some pics of e in a snowsuit for a 6-9 month old.  It’s so big, I swear E has a chance of fitting in it.  In general, it seems some manufacturers are way off in their sizing.  e is almost 3 months old, and fits in a 6 mos diaper shirt… so it makes you think your baby suffers from Gigantism.  As an aside, I think this trend is reversed in womens wear… 🙂
3. Pockets- why do baby clothes have pockets?  I guess it’s the same as asking why do they make clothes for dogs?
4. Tight diaper shirts… ok, there are these diapers shirts we used when she was a newborn.  When put on, they are very fitted, but getting it on over her head and her arms through the sleeves is like a contortionist’s act. 

In the end, I really like the ‘Maggie Simpson’- a bag with a hole for the head and arms.  Simple, easy to put on, and very roomy!  Now if they only made them in adult sizes…
