Bye-Bye Baby Clothes

So yesterday, I decided I was tired of looking at the overflowing pile of baby stuff that we didn't use or didn't fit anymore and braved the baby clothes. I filled up 2 decent sized boxes with baby girl stuff NB to 6 months to get rid of and I probably could have done more. I had to save a few things for the possibility that I have another girl one of these days though! So here was my criteria, it had to be multi-season, or pajamas, or so cute I couldn't bear to give it away. :) There were some exceptions, I got rid of a few sleepers that were annoying to deal with. Snaps in the back, who does that? And a few sleeveless things I kept because they were just too sweet. Mostly it ended up being alot of onesies and little pants. That's what Katie has been in day in and day out for these first 6 months. All in all, I probably kept too much. Katie definitely had way too many clothes, and I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing about the next one, even if we don't buy her anything else (like that is possible!). Now, if she's born this time of year, it'll be like starting from square one. Well, okay, she'll have pajamas and white onesies and that's about it. Same goes for if we have a boy. He won't even hardly have pajamas, since just about everything Katie has is very girly. It felt good to organize that and now I'm ready to tackle some more stuff in her room. Time to store the bouncy seat, the swing, the boppy and all that other stuff. Katie needs her room back!

I did the same thing this weekend! Filled up two large rubbermaid bins full to the brim of stuff and I really think I could do away with more because I think some of the pants I kept are too short now.

It made me really sad to pack away all of those little clothes that Hazel, and then Evie wore. We're going to have a garage sale this spring to sell it all.

:( (I did keep one little dress of Hazel's because I just couldn't bear to part with it. It was the first piece of clothing we bought for her the day we found out she was a girl.)

I know, I kept this tiny little yellow romper. It is so soft and sweet and I finally bought it and I think I put Katie in it about 3 times. It was probably the most worn outfit out of all of her newborn clothes! :)
