I always have. Like wanna eat 'em up love. Baby feet, toddler feet I LOVE. When they become big kid feet and above, I don't. do. feet. ewwww.
Even when I was pregnant with Lily, her feet were prominent. I mean the girl has some big feet.
26 weeks, 6 days
I actually exclaimed at that ultrasound to George, "Oh my God she has YOUR feet!"
She wears size 4.5 (if I can find them) or 5 shoes. Half sizes are hard to find in baby shoes. Which is DUMB. Size 4 is too small and 5 is too big. And my girl has big feet. When Andrew's dad was here a few weeks ago, she was chattering at him and he (who never notices anything & isn't all about babies) said, "She has some BIG feet." Yep.
I guess because I love baby feet so much and I think they're just an accessory before babies can walk, I don't do shoes much. Pretty much now, Lily wears shoes only when we're out and that's basically because it's gotten cold.
Don't get me wrong, I think baby shoes are adorable. I'm just too cheap frugal to spend $$ on shoes for a baby whose feet will grow out of them before she really gets to wear them. On the other hand, I did buy 4 pairs of shoes for her for $14.98 total when I had a really great sale/coupon combo at Payless. And I've picked up a couple of pairs of sandals for next year that were wayyyy too good a deal to pass up. Like $1.99 for an adorable pair of purple flower Carter's sandals. Can't go wrong with 2 bucks!
My girl doesn't care whether she has shoes on, shoes off, socks on or off, one sock on and one off, bare feet. Whatever. She doesn't care.
I feel pretty much the same. Other than I don't do one off, one on. Or wet. NEVER wet socks.
After Lily was born, I literally would just squeeze and kiss her sweet little baby pigs ALL. THE. TIME. I still do. It's one of my favorite baby things.
We play "This Little Piggy" about 83720457294 times a day. She always laughs and I always get to kiss on those piggies.
Earlier this week, she was standing watching Yo Gabba Gabba (so she could dance, of course) and I caught sight of her little piggies sticking out of her pants. :) I LOVELOVELOVE them.
Aren't they just adorable????
until they become big kid feet. ha
I love baby piggies too! This post is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's worse than the lack of 1/2 sizes is that Crocs does "double-sizing" e.g a combined 5/6. Sigh. We just recently had the boys start wearing shoes regularly, both for the colder temperatures and because they were slipping and falling all the time in their bare feet.
ReplyDeleteI love baby piggies too and they way little baby heads smell.
ReplyDeleteThose piggies need some TLC with a little color!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of baby piggies! I'm so sad that Lily's are mostly covered up now that it's cooler out!
