Wednesday Abigail and I took a trip to the mall. Jordan and I decided that since she is pulling up, cruising and trying to walk she needed new - good - shoes! I always hate taking her to the mall... whoever came up with the concept of a two story shopping area wasn't thinking about kids. Yes, there are elevators in JC Penny and Macy's, but it is next to impossible to move efficiently through shopping malls. Before we left I did my homework - Stride Rite (who makes the best baby shoes) is just outside of JCPenny, on the top floor and Gymboree (because I can't resist going in there, and I had a 20% off coupon) was just a few stores down. So we were set!
We went into Stride Rite and they were so helpful! They measured Abigail's foot - a 4 1/2 wide - and we decided on the soft motion technology shoes. Luckily there weren't a ton of colors and styles to choose from. I think she'll be able to wear the ones we picked out with lots of different outfits. She was a great sport through the whole process - trying to share her links and pacifier with another little girl who was there, and peeking at herself in the mirrors. So to reward her I bought her new clothes, too : ) Gymobree was having pretty good sales and with my coupon I was able to get her lots of clothes. My favorite are these PJ's ~ aren't they adorable?! Pink with glow-in-the-dark skeleton! I can't wait for her to wear them for the first time ~ when daddy's home (t-minus 5ish days!)!!
Her new shoes:
She looks like such a big girl!
