Wild One

WhatIWore: As I mentioned yesterday, we’re doing our annual family trip to the woods soon and in preparation I picked up a few new things for Felix from Old Navy (today’s post sponsor!) He’s pretty well set with long pants and boots for the season (his cargo pants were a birthday gift from Nana and we got the boots about a month ago (which he also wore here), but he needed a few warmer pieces to round things out. When I saw this buffalo plaid vest, I loved it, but my practical momsense had me wondering - would he actually wear it? Without a fight? 

So I asked him! Do you like this vest? Would you wear this sweater? To my surprise, he gave me a very clear ‘yes’ at the store and getting him dressed in these pieces went equally as smooth! 

We also got a few long sleeved tees with a woodland theme (this raccoon one and this wild one) along with a licensed IU tee because we have homecoming this weekend. (Felix is newly obsessed with spotting the IU logo and yelling IU! IU! at the top of his lungs. Adorable.) I picked up a knit hat too, but he was all ‘no no no’ when I tried getting it on this morning. Maybe when it’s chilly enough, he’ll give in! 

I should also fess up that had some ulterior motives with these photos…. along the lines of our family Christmas card! Adam is such a talented photographer, which means he’s usually not in the photos, but Felix makes for a handsome little family ambassador, right? These pictures capture his spunky and mischievous personality so well. Plus with less than three months before baby girl arrives, I’m taking care of anything I can, while I can. Also, never got around to Holiday cards last year, so I feel like I’m ahead of the game now. And yes… he’s clutching onto a box of Tic Tacs for dear life. A handy example of my parenting “whatever it takes” philosophy.
