Grandma Poole on baby shoes

Other than "babies should always wear white because they are angels," there isn't a ton of baby advice that I remember from my Grandma.  That's really due to the fact that I didn't have babies when my grandma was alive, so I never thought to ask her.

But there are a few more things that I do remember...

1. Always put an undershirt on a baby - their backs should never show!  I am generally pretty good about this; unless it's crazy hot outside and that extra layer will only make Lainey more uncomfortable or if it's a piece of clothing that we simply can't wear an undershirt with - like a sundress or romper.

2. Never skimp on a child's shoes.  This is something my mother still preaches today, and so, I never skimp on Lainey's shoes. (Queue the great debate on walking in shoes vs. walking barefoot)

Lainey does her fair share of walking both barefoot and in shoes.  But I just can't bring myself to let her go out without shoes on; maybe it's vanity...ok, I am sure it's vanity... but some times you just look jicky without your shoes on! In the summer time, sure - go barefoot! No body likes hot, stuffy feet.  However the cooler it gets outside, the jickier I think Lainey would look without shoes on.  Call me crazy, but that's how I roll.

So, I figured we would spend a little time looking at some kicks for kiddo!  Even if you aren't starting school in the last week or so, you still need shoes, right?

I have purchased my fair share of shoes for Lainey - from sandals to boots, we've got them all in our closet!

But let's be real... my little one has an opinion on what she wears, so why would I ever think she wouldn't have an opinion about shoes?! (Lord, help me!!) 

Here's what we have in our closet for the fall...
