Baby Clothing Or Baby Costumes?

My daughter just had a baby girl. I almost said “a new baby girl”, but the new part should be assumed. She doesn’t live near us and we will probably over compensate our lack of time spent with her by showering her with gifts. That is what grandparents do.

Naturally, the first things you buy a baby are clothes. Well actually you buy them for the parents because the baby could not care less. All babies care about is nourishment and a clean diaper. We had not shopped for baby clothes in twenty five years, and you can imagine the surprises we were in for.

Baby clothing bargains are easy to find if you don’t mind shopping the pre owned stores, flea markets, or yard sales. But we will leave the bargain shopping to the parents who really need it. Our granddaughter is going to have the best with no expenses spared. At least our first grandchild will. That might change when more grandchildren come along.

We decided that it would be easier for us to do some shopping online as the snow is on the ground and we don’t feel like getting out right now. This was quite an interesting endeavor.

We found Native American baby clothing, military baby clothing, Chic baby clothing, Icky baby clothing, and Adult baby clothing. The adult baby clothing is an entire subject for another day. There is Baby Einstein Clothing, Baby Clothing Organic, Smocked Baby Clothing, and Colonial Baby Clothing. Monogrammed baby clothing is a wonderful idea, as is organic baby clothing.

There is a lot of unique baby clothing available and we had a great time searching the web. We felt like we were shopping for costumes at times instead of clothing. So after all of that, I think it’s time to put our overcoats on and head for the mall. I am one who has to touch and feel the actual product that I am purchasing, especially little girly clothes. I know my husband will try to find something with the Chicago Bears logo on it. That is just the way he is. Being a grandparent is going to be so much fun. I can’t wait until we get to go toy shopping.
