Categories: BabyHarry Houdini has nothing on our daughter.
She can wiggle her arms out of anything we put her in. The only consolation I have is that even at the hospital when she was put in her little baby straight-jacket and swaddled by professional swaddlers, she still managed to escape.
And who designs clothes for babies anyway? It takes a good 10 minutes to wrangle all the stuff over her head, get her arms through, round it down to her feet… I’d start crying if someone spent that long jamming me into clothes too. More velcro please…
And while we’re on the subject, baby clothes that say they fit “0-9 mos”? I’m sorry, but if GAP introduced clothing and claimed it fit ages 2-15 they’d be laughed off the market. We spent 10 minutes putting her in a 0-9 mos sleeper this morning and then another 10 minutes trying to find her again… Maybe next fall…
Pat, I love your blog. I agree. American babies are way overdressed, and they try to tell us, but most parents don’t listen like you do.

Pat & Katie,
First of all, congratulations!!
Second of all, VELCRO IS WAY TO NOISY. It’ll wake Molly up when you are trying to change her when she is sleeping . Never thought you’d be dressing/changing her when she is asleep(?), think again.
