Catholic school girl?

I have mostly been dressing Owen in sleepers...partly because they are easy, partly because they are cute, but mostly because they are the only clothes we have for him that fit until he gets a bit bigger. However, he does have a total of 2 fleecy outfits that are not footed sleepers (one he came home from the hospital in, the other he just received from his Auntie Jennie)...the problem is that they are not footed!  Why baby clothes companies would ever make non-footed clothing for kids under the age of, I dunno, 3 months? 6months? is beyond me!  Because tiny little socks just don't stay on tiny little feet, and winter babies need something covering their feet.  So today, I came up with a solution.  From the outside this looks normal:

little white socks to match a little white outfit...

but secretly, they are the baby equivalent of catholic school girl knee socks!  They look ridiculous on their own, but they don't get kicked off within 20 seconds of being dressed!

We also took a little trip down to the Hennepin County Govt Office this morning to get Owen's birth certificate.  Owen was clearly enthralled with the lightning pace of business in the government office...

That being said, he looks like that most anytime he gets into his carseat.  Like last weekend when we went for a beautiful Sunday afternoon walk with Lars, Elissa, and Tor to Lake Calhoun and back.

Wonder twin stroller powers activate!

I can't wait until Owen is a bit bigger so we can actually use the running stroller for its intended purpose!
