Something Old, Something New

Last night I was going through Jacob's bins of clothes to see if he had any bigger summer clothes. I found these.



These are vintage pants. They were worn by Alan or his brother, Randall, or both.
If you look closely at this picture, you can just barely see Jacob's tooth popping through on the bottom.

Here's a pic of him last night in the shorts. He wasn't wearing a shirt so I think he looks like a little white trash, Huck Finn baby. We should have unlatched one of the straps to complete the look.



So, that was something old. On to something new. I just bought Quick Zip sheets and am absolutely loving these things!! Why, oh why did I not buy them sooner? I loathed putting sheets on the crib mattress. It is such a tight fit and after ripping 2 and being down to just one sheet, I decided to give in and buy these even though they are a bit pricey. Worth every penny! And these things will be a dream with a baby! When they spit up in the night you just zip off the top and zip on another. What could be better?!?

I bought the complete set in ecru which includes the base and one top sheet that zips on. You put the base up and over the mattress from the bottom, but it isn't all tight like a regular fitted sheet. Since the entire mattress is enclosed it doesn't need to be. Then you zip on the top sheet. I also bought 2 extra top sheets, one in blue gingham and one in green gingham. They look super cute in Jacob's farm nursery. :)

This is what they look like for all you visual people.



I bought mine from BabyCenter.com in case any of you mommies are interested in checking them out. I HIGHLY recommend them!
