It's Sunday morning, and I am home from church with Kate, who is sick with a cold. I was up and down all night because Kate didn't sleep very well at all, so this morning, Dan very kindly got up with her and took care of feeding her breakfast and getting her dressed so that I could get a little more sleep. At first, Dan thought Kate was well enough to go to church, and accordingly, he had dressed her in the little outfit I had picked out for her, a green onesie under a denim jumper. But as the morning progressed, he decided she really wasn't feeling well, so he took the dress off of her, put her down for her nap and then left for church. When I got her up from her nap, I got my first look at Dan's baby-dressing work from the morning. I would give him an A for effort, but I might have to deduct some points for the fact that the onesie is on backwards. Maybe he didn't see the tags sticking out.
I am actually a little bit sad that Kate didn't go to church like this, because I would have liked to know how long it took for one of the other moms to notice the mistake. Notice how I say "one of the moms" instead of "one of the dads." I probably could have just posted this picture, and asked people to tell me what was wrong with it in the comments section. I imagine the women would have immediately noticed the backwards shirt. And the men would be like "Well, there's no football team logo on that shirt, but otherwise, I think she looks ready for church."

I'd be the exception that proved your rule, Haley, but only because I've had a lot of onesie practice lately.

Grant did the exact same thing with an outfit for Kendall months ago, when we were still in Ohio. At first, I didn't notice, I just thought it looked weird. Then, I turned her around and saw the cute little detail that was supposed to be on the front, and I just cracked up.

Maybe Dan and Kate are just the trend-setters in the family. Forget traditional "forwards"-wear. "Tag in front" is where it's at!

Well, as you know, Cody, the smack talk just comes naturally to me. But I'm sure missing church didn't help. :)

I showed the picture to my Mom who happened to be over visiting Philip and asked her "what's wrong with this picture?" She got it on the second guess (first one was new haircut). She thought the tag was a band-aid at first. ha! I haven't had a chance to poll any Dads yet.
Congrats to Kate on 1 year! The cupcake video is great! I've put in a request to Dan for the Kate's "exercise routine" clip, but he said she notices the camera too quickly and stops. Keep trying! It's hilarious in words, moreso in live action I'm sure.

(Haley, this has nothing to do with this post.)
I miss Kate! Now that I've actually met her I feel like I'm missing out on all the amazing little things she's doing. She's a beautiful and wonderful baby. Give her an extra kiss today and tell her that her Auntie Becca loves her.

Aww, Becca. I wish the world were smaller and we could come and hang out with you and Liv every day. It really is sad to miss big chunks of time with a little one, because they change so quickly. But at least we have blogs! I will give Kate that kiss.

Jon was looking over my shoulder at the picture and said, "What's wrong with it?" (I of course noticed immediately). When I pointed out the tags he said, "Oh, I didn't notice." I can't tell you how many times he's put stuff on backwards on Jonah.
