This is the baby's Longshoreman Outfit. I'm including it here because it is one of the rare times where you will see her in anything other than pajamas.

Frankly, I find that baby clothes are a pain in the ass. Sure, babies look cute in their jeans and their little button up shirts, but let's face it: With button-up shirts, there are buttons. Which means you have to button the buttons. Have you ever tried buttoning jeans onto a Crisco-coated otter?

And seriously, what self-respecting baby wouldn't prefer their comfy zip-up fleecy jammies to that scratchy-ass denim, anyway? Everyone knows it's all about THEIR comfort. Who cares if mommy looks like a lazy, neglectful candidate for CPS - just as long as I'm in my velvety pajamas!

Anyway, I found an excellent compromise at the Gymboree sale yesterday, certain to make New Jersey mobsters green with envy: The velour track suit.

Looks like clothes. Feels like jammies. Now all I need are some nice gold chains...
