Fancy Easter clothes

I wanted to get Biscuit a nice outfit for Easter. We were planning to go to Easter sunrise services at Mama's church. But I couldn't believe how expensive fancy baby clothes were. There were seersucker suits for $25. There were embroidered overalls for $22.50. I just couldn't see paying that for an outfit he'd only wear once or twice.

So I got really excited when I went into Old Navy and the guy at the front of the store said that for one-day only, each item in the infants section was $5.

We got Biscuit a pair of grown-up-looking khaki pants, complete with little slit pockets on the back. We also got him a blue and white striped oxford shirt with yellow stripes on the placket and a navy sweater vest with yellow and white stripes around the neck.

We have to wash all of Biscuit's clothes before he wears them, and because his shirt and pants were 100% cotton, I had to iron those little tiny duds. I made a good attempt at it, but honest to goodness, my iron was bigger than the pants and shirt!

When we got to Mama's house (in S.C.), she pulled out her starch can and finally got all the wrinkles out. The whole ensemble was so cute. Biscuit even had a hand-me-down pair of navy slip-on shoes, so he was ready to go.

We got up early Easter morning and, of course, it wasn't early enough. So as we were rushing around, we didn't have time to take pictures of him. I told Jeff not to worry, we could take some when we got back home.

I was in such a rush, I forgot to pack bottles and formula in the diaper bag. So we stayed for the sunrise service and breakfast and then headed back to Mama's house. Since we knew Mama and Daddy wouldn't be home from church for a while, we decided to take a nap.

I just put Biscuit down in his fancy clothes so I wouldn't have to re-dress him for pictures later. He woke up hungry, so Jeff started giving him a bottle. ... And then it happened.

Jeff heard the grunting noises and then he heard the other noises. Biscuit's diaper had exploded and there was poo EVERYWHERE ... all over his new pants, shirt and sweater vest ... all over Jeff's shirt ... all over the pillowcase on the bed (we're still not sure how that happened).

So I can tell you that he was looking sharp on Easter morning, but I don't have any proof of it. We're planning to dress him up again so we can take some pictures. I'll be sure to post a couple here.
