Outerwear Debacle

So far getting Brody in the right sizes for the right season has worked out perfectly. Since we had such a warm fall, he got to wear his summer clothes up until they didn't fit and then it was cold and time to wear warm clothes. It has been perfect! Well, perfect until now...

It has been snowing and thus time to buy a warm coat for Brody. Some things have been super fun so far, like hats! I love hats and I love buying them for Brody. He even likes wearing them so far. This was a really cute one I found and had to have, of course making me want to buy a cute brown coat to go with... NO LUCK! I found this really cute bunting, but as you can see, it's not going to last long. The 3-6 month is perfect, for now. It probably won't last until Christmas. So, I will probably have to get him the 6-12 month as well. By the way, whoever invent the size 6-12 month did not have kids! Brody will probably double in size from 6 to 12 months.
This is a coat that I finally found and thought would work (plus it has the brown to match the cute hat), but as you can see, it probably won't fit for quite sometime.
This is just plain cute.

And this is the 6-12 month coat that I ordered online. He probably would not fit in this until next year. By the way, this is the smallest that they make this coat.

I understand there is no way to put a baby in a coat into his car seat and we could just use blanket then, but what do I do in the mountains when he is not in a car seat? Especially when my husband insists on taking him snowmobiling... what do I do then?

Trick or Treat!

Halloween was extra fun for us this year because we had Brody around!

We got to dress him up and take him to the ward trunk or treat and then to my parent's neighborhood for the party and trick or treating!

He is becoming a thumb sucker! AHHH! I hope this doesn't lead to braces and kids picking on him when he is still doing it in the third grade. For now, I will take whatever soothes him (especially when he has had a stupid ear infection)!

Have you ever seen such a cute lion in your life! He was adorable!

Ward trunk or treat!

He was exhausted from looking so cute... he was also probably hot from the 75 degree weather!

On Sunday we went to my mom and dad's house for more festivities and to celebrate Amy's birthday. All of the kids were adorable. Brody was not so happy and did not feel very good, but he was good enough to put on his costume and trick or treat for a bit... and by trick or treat I mean carry him down and the street and not actually go to any doors.

Here are the twins with Brody.

And this is how the night pretty much looked! Hopefully next year, he will be happier and healthier!
