Zulily FAIL

I have a love/hate relationship with the online retailer Zulily.  It's fun to shop on their app, you feel like you're getting a good deal (even if it's last season and NOT a deal!) and they often have unique kids clothes that aren't "my mommy rocks" or a surfing bear onesie (Carter's, I'm looking at you!). 

But I've been burned by Zulily and here are two examples.  

This is me.  In a Bob Marley t-shirt I ordered for Grant.  I vaguely remember infant sizes being sold out, so this smart Mom planned ahead and sized up!   Maybe he'll fit in it in ten+ years.

 

Then there's this adorable 3T Texas Rangers jersey we ordered months ago.  

Cute, right?  Nice quality.  Every kid needs a baseball jersey!  I'm sure it wasn't that cheap.  If you follow Texas Rangers baseball, you already know where I'm going with this.

 

Wah, wah.  Josh Hamilton.  Left the Rangers when Grant was 11 months old!  

I know I have more Zulily (and other online shopping) fails, but can't think of them tonight.  

Any funny online shopping stories to share?  

Duck face

First duck face, next thing you know he's going to take selfies!  

Oh wait...

This picture cracks me up.  It's a couple months old, but he did take it himself.

You turn your back for one minute

And he's out the doggie door, pounding on the window!

He knows nose!

I've been worried that Grant doesn't know any body parts, so just this weekend when I quizzed him, I found out he knew belly.  Chris said he knew nose, but I didn't think so.  I also was worried about repeating "nose" over and over again, thinking he might think we were telling him "no!"  (I know, silly thing to worry about.)

But of course, my smart kid DID know nose!  Proved this Mama wrong.  I wonder what else he knows but we're just not asking him!  I promise not to post every little video I make... but he just seemed to have a big development week.  Dancing, belly and now nose!  They really are little sponges.

Shark week

Who am I kidding.  We don't have cable so I just heard it was shark week.  But, I never pass up an opportunity for a themed dress up!  

Where's your belly?

April 2012 & April 2013

Remember this picture? I took it on my last day of maternity leave. G was 3 months old. So small snuggled in my neck.

Tonight Chris took Grant and the dogs on a walk while I cooked dinner and Grant passed cold out. This never happens! (He was in the Ergo on Chris' back.) When they got home and I saw he was asleep, I scooped him up so fast so I could snuggle my sleeping boy. G monkey was worn out from daycare and playing at the park with friends. He didn't want to wake up! He finally did and ate dinner, took a quick bath and we were able to get him into bed for the night pretty close to schedule.

I had to replicate our previous picture (selfie!)
