They grow so fast

I know, it is a cliche.

Whatever.

Cooper has outgrown all but a very select few pieces of newborn size clothing (namely, two pairs of pants are somehow still fitting him). He has also outgrown quite a few of the more conservatively sized 0-3 clothing. Gerber brand, in particular, is TINY and the 0-3 clothing in that brand fit him only during his weight-loss period in the first week. It probably would not have fit him at birth when he was all birth-plumped-up.

Therefore, he wears the larger 0-3 and the smaller 3-6 outfits. In particular, I am enamoured of the most unlikely set of three matching onesies. They were a gift from Matt's cousin. The snaps are placed in a particularly convenient manner, the fabric is softer and feels warmer then average, the pattern is very cute and they fit him a bit generously, which means these onesies will be on him for quite some time and yet still look perfectly nice right now. Oh yeah, and they are organic cotton.

Why, you ask, is this an "unlikely set" of three matching onesies that I like so much?

They are from WalMart.

I have not stepped foot into WalMart in four years. I dislike many, many parts of WalMart's practices and won't even bother ranting about them because it is just unnecessary.

So I am really sad to see that one of their suppliers makes arguably one of the nicest onesies on the market. Perhaps they also sell their product at other retailers? I will hope.
