Dear Diary,

During my pregnancy, my daughter-to-be’s closet overflowed with everything from clothing and shoes to bibs and bows. While in my nesting period, I ironed all of her coordinating outfits–including onesies. Then, I gave birth. I realized that babies rarely wear shoes. It’s constricting and uncomfortable. And typically, they get kicked off! So, she was barefoot in the house a lot! Then, I bought booties.

Right now, they run between $21-24 and are currently on sale. And if you live in Pittsburgh like me, or another cold weather location, your little ones feet can stay warm as the temperatures drastically drop. Today, temps barely reached 35 degrees.

And the clothing lasts! Caitlynn has several Zutano outfits. After numerous wears, the clothing stayed in tack. The colors remained bright and the seams stayed in place. That’s important for crawling, running, jumping and dancing children. Some styles even include a gripper bottom for those new walkers!
