Knock My Socks Off

As you are well aware by now, I am a WEE bit obsessed with outfitting my little baby girl in too cute clothing. I can walk out the door looking like a tired mess (and usually do, by the way), but as long as Alexandra has a cute outfit on for pre-school with matching bib, I am content. Please do not interpret this to mean I stick Alexandra in crinoline-puffed dresses with gigantic bows on her head (lest anyone think she is a little boy, instead). Most days, Alexandra is in a onesie, albeit a cute onesie - any new Mom will tell you that it is not worth struggling to get anything fancier than a onesie over a baby's little tender head!

With that being said, Alexandra outgrew a lot of teeny, tiny newborn socks that were gifted to us prior to her birth, as I really didn't see a need to stick socks on my daughter during the middle of July. However, now that it has cooled off a little bit (at least in the mornings, the afternoons are still humid as hell), I noticed that A's little feet tend to get cool. Add to that the fact that her daycare "teacher" made several indirect hints that Alexandra's feet seem to be cool during the day, I knew I needed to break out THE socks.

We received two different sets of Trumpette socks at baby showers and I have to say they are just about the cutest baby accessories I have ever seen. Really, these set the cuteness factor at a whole new level. From a practical standpoint, they are made a little bit bigger than most baby socks and can be worn (according to the box) up to 12 months of age. Plus - and this is the big selling point - they actually stay on her feet despite all of the kicking she loves to do!

We already have the bright Mary Jane socks and the Pixie socks (in the first two pictures below), but one day I'd love to add to her collection the ballerina socks and, in honor of her Daddy's favorite hobby, the golf socks. Check these out and tell me they are not eat-you-with-a-spoon adorable???
