The cold brings with it all sorts of trouble. You can't just put baby in a body suit because then she'll be too warm once you enter the store - and have you ever tried getting her out of snowpants in a shopping cart? Or the age-old dillema of going potty. By the time you get the bottoms off to change her diaper she's too hot up top, too cold down below, and has a jumpsuit the size of a pillow holding her back up in the kind of yoga pose you wouldn't dare try at home.
And then there's that October weather that turns from freezing in the morning to hot as heck in the afternoon. This is the weather I'm focusing on today. You bundle up baby and by the time 1pm rolls around you're both sweating and you've got to decide who gets to lose the long sleeves first while the other cries. Some pals at my playgroup (and I mean MY playgroup, babies get to entertain themselves) donned some pretty fab items last month that I finally got around to purchasing this week: Leg warmers for baby. We're talking Flash Dance leg warmers like the kind we rocked in middle school.

These things are great! They are one size newborn to toddler and that means baby's entire leg is covered all the way to her onesie. And they're not just for girls, I've seen some rad stripes and sports themed themed leg warmers for wee guys too. And the best part? You don't have to strip them off for a diaper change. That's right, baby's legs stay toasty.
I highly recommend "My Little Legs." They come in a variety of colors or you can get a 4-pack for $20 on amazon. They are thick, durable, warm, and wash well. Tova is currently donning animal prints. These leg warmers can also be used on baby's arms if she's wearing a short sleeve and needs a warm-up.
Instant Halloween Costume - Awesome!
