Tuesday Bests: Infant Pajamas

Hanna Andersson "Night Night Baby Sleepers in Organic Cotton"

 

These are the Goldilocks of pajamas for infants:  the cotton is not too thick and not too thin, the sleeves and pants are not too long and not too short, and the cuffs are not too tight and not too loose.  Everything about these pajamas is just right!  Design is in the details, and the contrast stitching, zipper, and cuffs make the outfit.

I can't get enough of my boy in stripes, so the many striped options make these all the better.  Rocco wears these pajamas every night, and the few we have are holding up extremely well to the many washings and wearings.  Happy pajama-ing!

Rocco's Nursery

After a long hiatus due to the last months of pregnancy and the first months of new motherhood, I am back in action (at least I will be, slowly but surely)!

What better way to make my blogging re-entry than to show pictures of Rocco's nursery!

Closer view of beautifully crafted crib made by my dad, "Grandpa" -- Three Sprouts bins act as storage for stuffed animals and toys underneath the crib:

Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket marionettes on Grandpa-made mobile hanger:



















Vintage clown marionettes from my childhood collection hanging from a Grandpa-made black mobile. Yes, I realize clowns are scary to some, but hopefully Rocco will grow up unafraid because of these mobiles:
