With the weather getting colder, I started checking out how to make Baby Legs. I met with success, maybe I'll post a picture later, right now the star of this show is taking a nap. In my internet searching I came across this sweater dress at Make It and Love It, which is basically the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I loved the tights! And had to have some, so I made a trip to Old Navy, and got the 0-6 month size. I want to know why they think that size makes sense. A newborn and a 6 month old are nothing the same. This is how they fit Allie. She's basically a newborn size. 
Of course that wouldn't do. I had a brainwave--why can't I make my own "tights"? I made these babies out of women's knee sock. I can't get enough of them!! I'm the only one around here that appreciates them, though. The boys in this house think they're rather tacky. What do they know?

They were so easy to make. If anyone is interested, I'll post a little tutorial, just leave a comment.
She's worn them every day since I made them.
After a really obnoxious trip to the thrift store, which I won't get into, I found a couple of sweaters. This is my first one. I haven't made the second, but it's going to have long sleeves like the one my sister made, also inspired by Make it and Love it. Having a girl is SO MUCH FUN
I made it a little too long. But it should fit her for a long time, I suppose. Also, It's really hard to take a picture like this by yourself. 
Enough pictures, mom! I want a nap!!

Holy moly--seriously the cutest tights ever!!! I should have had more fun when I had girls...where were blogs back then? The sweater dress is very cute, too. I can't wait to finally meet little Allie!
