Holy Baby Cloths!

I wouldn't call my self a very fashionable person. If it wasn't for my wife my daily check list for getting dressed would be:

1) is there more than one hole in my Boxers.
2) do my socks fit
3) Do my shoes feel wet
4) do my pants stink
5) do I stink

well I guess if I am honest this is my daily check list. Thanks to her though my smelly pants look ok on me when I wear them. I say this because last night we decided to go through all our baby cloths that have been given to us. Hang them up and organize them. I figured this wouldn't take long and would be relatively easy. Boy was I wrong. MY son is not even born yet and he has a closet full of cloths. I have exactly 6 t shirts and two Polo's that I swap out all year round for my personal cloths. They are all one size and they all aren't severely stained. Adrian has so many out fits for his first three months of life I don't know if we will actually have to wash them. That may be a little exaggerated but still. They are all so cute and we are very thankful for all the people that donated their sons old cloths to the cause of "not having a naked baby in the Russell house" fund. When the makers of said baby cloths made them why did the sizing system have to be so complicated? I mean why isn't there just New born, 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 and then start toddler sizes. I mean is it really that big of a deal if my kid looks like he is wearing a potato sack for the first half and a leotard for the second half of the article of clothing's life? It would sure make organizing the closet for my OCD wife a little easier. She almost made me a list because I couldn't understand the difference in location in the closet for up to 3 mths, 0-3 mths, and just plain 3 mths. We did finally get it all sorted out and I am list free but just barely. I think the only reason I am list free is that the paper and pen were down stairs and Marilyn was to tired to go back down and get them. After we finished putting the cloths away and got some of the boxes out of the way, we realized that the walls in there are still pretty bare. I guess we need to make another trip to a store with cool baby decor. Just so that when we are spending time in there we have other stuff to look at instead of the baby. Well on second thought maybe we will leave it bare if I am not sleeping I will probably be staring at Adrian any way.
