They grow up so fast!

I heard this ALL the time from moms before Fin was born. "Cherish every moment with them because they grow up so fast!" I used to think, yeah yeah, you probably just weren't LOOKING! Well that was until Fin came along and we'd wake up in the morning and our first reaction was, "WHOA! He grew over night!!" The other night he was laying across my chest nursing and I did a double-take and thought, "who is this huge kid on my chest and what did you do with my Fin??!!"

With so many clothes in his closet, I really need to make an effort to take pictures of him actually wearing them before he grows out of them. Some clothes he's only worn once, others not at all! When we're at home and when he's wearing more than just his diaper, I tend to put him in outfits that are shall we say, not ones I would've chosen myself {CORRECTION: I've bought some fugly stuff too!} since he spits up so much and we have to change him 10 times a day. But this morning I had a light bulb moment: If I keep "saving" the cutest outfits for when we go out only, he'll grow out of them!! I know you probably just said, "DUH!!" Forgive me, I'm sleep-deprived!

So I'm going to (try my best to!) feature Fin in a favourite outfit each friday (say THAT fast 5 times!) -- Fashion Friday!

This one we bought while Fin was still in my belly and we didn't know if he was going to be a boy or a girl. The best part is the little monkey that's attached by a string to the pants. I've shoved him in the pocket here.

Auntie Di got Fin this organic cotton onesie that I love! I may be making statements on his behalf but I'm pretty sure he agrees that global warming sucks! The awesome Baby Legs are from my good friend Katie.

Oh my god--it's SO cliche, but it's TRUE! They ABSOLUTELY DO grow too fast! And it's not going to slow down one bit, so good you relaized this early on. lol! Noah Finn is 6 mos. and every morning we STILL think the same thing! I love your fashion Friday idea and look forward to next week! Happy 4th! xoxo
