Perhaps it's bad form for me to refer to my baby and handbags in the same breath, not to mention with the irreverent phrase "fun with the fruits of my labor."  But then again, I'm an irreverent sort, so I might as well begin the way I mean to go on.

Life with a newborn means limited time for sleep, sanity, and personal hygiene.  So outfit shots are out of the question, at least in the traditional sense.  But when we take Charlotte to the doctor, or my parents visit, I seize the opportunity to shed my PJs and dress like a person.  And the same goes for Charlotte.  (Although her PJs are awfully cute with their flamingo, koala, and bumblebee feet.)  I even adorn her precious noggin with headbands.  Not that she tolerates them for long.  Just see Exhibit B, a.k.a, baby makes three, in which Char Bar is brazenly bareheaded.

So for now my fit pics include my mini me.  Which is, ahem, very fitting.  Because when I said I was losing my sanity, I was joking.  Since Charlotte came on the scene, I've never felt saner.

I did mean the part about hygiene, though.

Fingers crossed I floss for the Fourth of July.

Your photos with Charlotte are precious and thanks for sharing ,after all we have been with you from the start!! I love the Minnie jack in the box... I haven't seen a jack in the box in a LONG time. I used to love making them pop up myself ! You all put together and your outfits are cheerful and stunning!

I adore these outfit photos with your new addition to the family!! 💙 Still looking as stylish as always (and so is Charlotte!); the fruit theme is super cute and goes with the summertime vibes. The photo of the three of you is so sweet - Charlotte is so adorably tiny! 🍋🍉🍒
