What Lucy Needs: Spring/Summer 2014

A couple of people have asked what Lucy needs, so I thought I'd let everyone know. We've got plenty of 3-6 month clothes, which she doesn't seem like she'll outgrow for a few weeks unless she has a crazy growth spurt. I have some 6-9 month clothes, but there are a few things I think we'll need/want:

• 1-2 dresses - short sleeve, probably
• white cardigan
• 2-3 rompers (short sleeve one piece with either shorts or pants)
• a package of plain white short sleeve onesies
• denim overalls
• toddler size hooded towels
• plain white sandals (perhaps with covered toes) - size 3
• white dress shoes - probably size 3
• dress socks

Rompers that look like dresses are great because they can do double duty. Next 

We have almost nothing 9-12 months or bigger, so when in doubt, get the larger size so she won't go naked in August. If it's hot enough, she may want to go naked in August.

As far as gear or toys, I try to keep Lucy's Amazon list updated. I think we've got most of what we need. We will want a little umbrella stroller for travel. She has quite a few toys. Right now she mostly plays with a rattle, a car, some linked rings, one or two toys that play music, a couple of balls, and maybe one of her many stuffed animals. When she gets closer to crawling, more active toys will be good. She hasn't been a big fan of books yet, except to eat them, but we think she'll grow into them. I really want her to have a book of nursery rhymes. I'll try to keep the Amazon list updated with books we don't have by authors we like.
