One of the best parts of being a parent to be is shopping for all of the baby clothing. It's even more fun when you know the sex of the baby, so you aren't limited to neutral colors like green. Baby furniture is also fun to buy, but since it's so expensive you can run out of money before you're done shopping for what you need. I've seen cribs that cost thousands of dollars, changing tables for about as much and don't even get me started on the nursing chairs! Still, there's something about the miniature versions of all of the things that we use every day that kind of warms my heart.
Take, for example, the little baby tee shirts that they sell at those baby clothing stores. Nowadays you can get them to say just about anything. There are websites that will sell you political baby tee shirts that say "if I were old enough, I'd vote for John McCain in 2008" or have other cute things on them. If you prefer your baby to look like a miniature version of yourself, they have full suits for little boys and gowns for the baby girls. If you like Tommy Hilfiger, your baby can wear it all of the time. Ditto for Ralph Lauren and most other brands.
The cool thing about baby clothing is how detailed it can get. From tiny tennis shoes to denim pants and jackets, they really are little versions of big people clothes. Everyone loves buying kids miniature outfits that they would wear themselves, and there's something about seeing a little kid in grown up clothes that makes one's heart smile. The only drawback is that it can really add up and a shopping spree for Junior can cost just as much as a shopping spree for mommy.
