Here is what I ordered for Harper (and one gray dress for myself that I saw in-store recently and thought was cute):

I've been trying to buy more "outfits" for Harper lately instead of just buying random things I like all over the place. I try to be more thoughtful now and make sure I know what I can pair the item with if I'm buying it. Honestly, it may seem silly, but babies have to wear clothes, so why not have fun with it? She's only this little once and one day she will want to pick out her own clothes so I might as well enjoy it while I can.
Everyone kept telling me to buy ALL OF THE ONESIES when I was pregnant because that's "all she would wear"---and for the first couple of months that was true--- but I like dressing her in dresses with leggings and little jeans and cords with cute tops now that she's a little older. So I have an overwhelming amount of onesies but didn't have much to pair them with. So I've been purchasing more tops, sweaters, leggings and pants to mix and match with everything since I was kind of low on things she could wear with the onesies. I also had practically zero colder-weather clothing. I even had to go out and buy tons of socks when she started daycare because I realized I didn't have that many and she needs to wear them daily.
So if you're pregnant and thinking about buying things--buy onesies, but don't go too crazy. Build your collection a little more slowly and assess your needs as you go. You may find, like I did, that you have too many onesies and not enough of the other stuff.
Anyway, that was kind of a tangent, sorry. I figured it may be helpful for some. In any case, the clothes I didn't get to use will find a good home. I'm going to donate the newborn onesies that Harper never fit into as well as some of the stuff she never got to wear before growing out of it to a women's shelter or another organization who could use those kinds of items. Might as well make the best of it.
Here are a few other items we've purchased recently (sorry if you've seen some of these on Instagram already---I get a lot of requests to share my purchases and I love seeing what others buy too!)
Dot sweater leggings | Furry vest outfit | Indestructible book | Mamas + Papas Doll | Baby shoes- Target | Baby bow leggings
We started our Saturday morning with lots of cuddles (more like Harper cuddling her bunny and elephant):
Then I took Harper for a walk while I sipped my morning latte:
Then we got Harper dressed and went to look at high chairs. I've done a lot of research/reading reviews online and so far we are between the oxo sprout, the boon flair and the mamas + papas pixi. Let me know if you have any feedback. I think the boon may be the best fit for us since it can go higher and lower whereas the other two are fixed in their heights. We'd like something we can use at the kitchen island as well as at a normal height table.
It was the most beautiful day outside today and we enjoyed strolling along with Harper as we checked out some of the high chairs in person and tested them out (I think a high chair is one baby item that is tougher to order online).
When we got home, Harper really got intimate with her Indestructibles book. They aren't kidding when they say babies can pull, and drool all over these and they remain a-OK. She was on her mat but she loved the way the book would slide on the hardwood so I let her go at it.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
