Fashionista

With a mom so obsessed with fashion throughout pregnany, it's no wonder that little Ella is quite the fashion-conscious baby.

In this little blue number, Ella pays homage to her prenatal nickname (it says 1...2...3 Scooters!).
Of course, getting into this outfit was a bit of a challenge. Daddy tried to dress her himself. From the other room I heard a wicked scream and thought "oh, that must not have gone well, I'll go help in a minute." Then 30 seconds later, Seth appears in the bedroom with a screaming baby in his arms. The problem? Where her head should be, there is a blue swath of fabric. Apparently he tried to do head and arms at once and when she got her hand inside the onesie she grabbed on and wouldn't let go. He's such an amazing dad and so good at quieting her when she's upset, it's good for my mommy self-esteem to know there are some things I can do better!

Most of the time, though, Ella sports just an enormous cloth diaper and a blanket. So this season it's all about the accessories.

The socks:
The bunny slippers:


And of course, the sun hat!
Don't worry, her nudity does not mean she's clothes-deprived. Generous family and friends have provided more clothes than a hot little baby can model! As soon as it gets cooler out, we'll have to do several outfit changes a day to show off all her gorgeous duds. And maybe by then mommy will be wearing clothes more often herself so that some of the pictures of mommy and Ella will be decent for posting on the internet!
