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?

  1. You'll want to get one of those full body suits made for infants in cold weather. I had one for my girls that was perfect. It fits right over their clothes and has an attached hood too. Look for "newborn outerwear" at Target.com and you'll see what I mean.

  2. while this won't help for when brody goes snowmobiling, you need to get a bundleme if you don't already have one. they Velcro onto the car seat and that way you don't have to worry about coats or blankets when you're toting them around in the winter. looks like you'll be set with a coat for next winter too!
