Julie, I'm sure she will go through stages of liking certain clothes and then not liking them. Elizabeth would decide she liked to wear only dresses and then later decide she only wanted pants.

It depends on the child, definitely. My 5-year old niece is the girliest of all the girly girls. She would want the pinkest, frilliest, most decorated dress she could find, and she would twirl and spin and break into song while wearing it!

I love the little shoes! For church, the second dress. For the easter egg hunt, the first.

Thanks again all!! There is only a small amount of time left with her in month size clothes, so I will take advantage of it as long as I can. (Which is not too much longer!!!) I missed her tiny baby cutesy stage for clothing (it is amazing how some of the cutest clothes are only in 0/3, 3/6 and 6/9 months) so I will enjoy the cutesy months size clothes while I can. The cool thing is that girl clothes are fun even as the sizes get bigger (unlike most boys clothes).

...and don't worry if she doesn't sit with her legs all lady-like. That's just too much for a little one to do!

Julieboo, I think you said in the other thread that you were going to check ebay? I saw a lot of very cute stuff over there. I searched on easter dress size 24 months.

Julie, it's true that the cutest clothes for girls are in the smaller sizes but really they're just wasted. The baby doesn't care what she's wearing, she spits up on everything, and worst of all, especially when they are really small, everythings covered up by blankets anyways! More fun to dress them when they're a little older, especially old enough like Abby to really enjoy it. Dakota's going through a sloppy phase now. Maybe not so much sloppy as sportsy. To be fair, she never was much on girly girl clothes though would wear dresses and get dressed up if that's what I put on her. These days she likes bigger tshirts and sweatshirts and the baggy exercise/sporty pants and sneakers. We had a major fight last week cuz she didn't want to comb the tangles out of her hair and when I put my foot down and insisted, she argued and whined the whole time I was combing it because if she didn't care what her hair looked like why should I? Totally cracks me up. She's all into softball right now and their team colors are black/red/navy blue. They were one red sock, one blue sock cuz (their coach said) they are girls and stylish. And Kota's standing there telling me, hair messed up and ball cap on, baggy pants, and one of Darren's tshirts telling me I have to go buy her red and blue ribbons and barrets to go with her uniform, lol. Seriously, the only thing my little girl is missing is the smudge of dirt across her cheek.

I didn't read all of the msgs after mine (actually had work to do) but in my family Easter was a time to dress up and go to church. And you dressed accordingly and that's what I'd do if I had a daughter. Then again I'd dress a daughter up on gp lol. With appropriate shoes. I also loved my black mj's when I was a kid with matching purse when I was older lol.

LOL but, i am with Mocha, Easter Sunday and church call for pretty dresses. heck, i still buy my Easter outfit for church! LOL i think the other outfit is adorable too, just not 'churchy'.

Makes me miss little girls too! I can't wait for grandbabies. Well, I can wait and it better be in a few years, but I'm going to love it.

I'm afraid I can't offer an objective opinion. This is how my mother used to dress me, her only daughter.
Do I look happy?

Hey Prisoner, I'd have that same look on my face if my mother had me pose in front of a giant cheese grater! omg, your purse reminded me...we each had a little purse with an elastic closure. We had a tissue and a quarter for the collection basket at church. I remember pretending that I couldn't find my quarter because my purse was so "full."

Prisoner, I think you look adorable. You have to remember you come from a major geek family. That is the very best they could do as far as fashion. In fact, that is high geek fashion of that era.
(errrr ... when I post the bunny icon, it means I am being friendly even if your shoes end up slightly damp)

It's the hat that makes the outfit. Notice the rakish angle at which I wore it. Clearly I was ahead of my time for America's Next Pint-Sized Knock-Kneed Chubby Cheeked Top Model. Seriously, though, I like the last one you posted, but I think the frilly pink one with the eyelet underskirt you posted earlier is the most Easter-like and goes best with the bunny shoes. And clearly I'm an expert on toddler formal wear.
