WOW...that was fast! The nice FedEx Man brought my J&J!

[mindeva]

The J&J order I placed on Wednesday is here! Harper is napping so when she wakes up I'll try to get some pics. It all looks adorable. The swimsuits do look small, so hopefully we won't be exchanging for a bigger size.

[AvasMama]

I'm expecting mine today too! I can't wait!

Yipee! And you guys *better* post pictures of both babies in those suits before you go to bed tonight! No excuses! :P LOL!

[mindeva]

Ok Denise, twist my arm! Harper woke up, so here you go. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to exchange the 2 swimsuits and the coverup for the next size, agree? They fit great now, but I don't think they will last through the summer considering it is only January.

Here's the striped one. I love it!

The back is too cute!

The coverup

The hat is reversible. Has a nice wide brim, so should be a great sun blocker.

My hubby likes this one best...it's adorable.

This is a suit I picked up from Gymbo last year. Should work at the beginning of the season, especially if I size up in the J&J suits.

Here's her Easter dress. I absolutely love the style & the fabric.

I also got the red gingham pants (gone from the website) and this blouse in 12-18 from Peace on Earth for this fall. We are big Nebraska Cornhusker fans, so this should be cute for games and tailgates.

I am very pleased considering I called to order the dress. I did go a little overboard, but the suits are so cute!

Can't wait to see Ava!

[murpheyblue]

Could she be any cuter? I don't think so!

I love it all!

[lmladuke]

OMG Look at her little thighs!!!!! Something about babies with chubby thighs - I just love 'em. Ok. moving on to the outfits - love those too. I am contemplating the skirted J&J suit for Katherine - love it on Harper. What size did you get - and what size will you exchange for (since you said they seem small)

Also, love the Easter Dress - again - what size did you get? Harper is a month younger than Katherine and I am worried that 6-12 mo dresses will swim on her for Easter. But Harper's looks like it fits good.

Great photos! Everything looks fanstastic on her. I agree that you should size up in the J&J suits. Oh, to have such a cooperative model... I guess it helps when they can't get up and walk away!

We got the striped swimsuit and coverup too, but DD just woke up from her nap so I'll have to try it on her later.

Harper is adorable!! She looks so huggable :D. I love all the suits and her easter dress too.

[heidi_timms]

Harper is so adorable! She looks so adorable in her swimsuits. I love the floral J&J one the best and the cover-up is TDF! Boy is she cute.

Everything is 6-12. I think I'm going to size up to 12-18 in the suits and cover up. I also think the dress will fit perfectly by Easter. To get an idea, at her last check on 12-30, she was 23 3/4 long & 14:12 for weight.

[Samraelanelevi]

She's adorable!! The swim suits are so cute on her-I agree though go up a size or they won't last.

The Easter dress is gorgeous! I love it!

[parkersmama]

That is one *darling* baby!! Harper is sooo pretty! Thank you for taking the pics. :) Hope my twisting your arm didn't hurt too bad. LOL!

I love both the J&J suits! They are gorgeous. Decisions, decisions. I think I may go with the skirted one to round out our collection...one tank, one skirted, and one bikini. Now I'm wondering if I got the wrong size in the J&J suit that we have. Maybe I should have gotten a 3T instead of a 2T. It still had a bit of growing room, but you're right, it *is* just January. Yikes.

The Easter dress is TDF! She looks so perfect in it. It's so sweet and babyish and feminine. I like the Gymbo bathing suit, too, and that red/white J&J outfit was one of my personal faves from the POE line.

Great choices all around, Mindy!

[khakismom]

She is just sweetness! I love all the suits, but my fave is the floral one with the skirt. I saw it today at the KC J&J--which you will love BTW :)--and I almost got it for Ellen.

That dress is just gorgeous on Harper!

[mindeva]

Maureen-

I was thinking about you at lunch today! How was your maiden voyage to J&J? Did you end up with anything? Were the sales people nice?

[urbanmama]

OMG, Mindy! Harper is so cute!! Her expressions are just making me smile. She looks so happy. I just want to squeeze her little cheeks!

I love her in everything! I really like both the striped swimsuit and the blue flowered one. I think I'll head to J&J next week and check them out IRL. And I think I *need* the coverup.

Thanks for sharing!

[khakismom]

Mindy, you are so sweet! I ended up with the big nada. Zip. Nothing. Oh, it was not for wanting it, it was because of sticker shock. :) Every outfit I pulled together was just too much to take. And while *all* of it was stunning, I didn't really feel "I have to have this" about anything (except that blue Vintage Blossoms dress, but it's too small for either of the girls).

The sales people were wonderful! One of them (I am blanking on her name) used to be at the Gymbo next door and of course she knows me by name so I chatted with her for a while. Can't wait to go back. :)

[stacyleigh]

omg...i just want to squeeze her! what a sweet little angel! :)

everything looks great, i love the coverup and hat and of course she is tdf in the easter dress. beautiful!

[lrucci]

OMG, she is too cute. She looks adorable in everything. I LOVE the dress. Thanks for posting.

Great pictures of Harper. I sure do miss dressing a baby girl. That 0-24 month range is just the best for finding beautiful clothes.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! You should see me here. I am ooohing and aaahhhing over your precious baby girl and her new J&J. She's adorable. I love the chunky the little legs.

Okay, Harper, you sold me on that floral suit. We are going to be spending alot of time at the pool this summer, so I need to pick up at least one more suit. And thanks for the tips on sizing. Andie's not yet 14 lbs, but I think I better size up to 12-18 months for this suit.

Oh, and that Glistening Gems dress...just beautiful on Harper. Just beautiful. I feel like Robyn feels about the blue layette dress now and I'm kicking myself for not getting that floral kimono dress when it first got marked down.

[mindeva]

It is pricey! I try to wait for the markdowns & since you'll be close now, you will be able to check often! I got some great deals this summer at my one and only visit to a real B&M store. Glad to hear the sales people are nice. The other store I visited, they were not & that just ruins the entire shopping experience for me!

[mindeva]

Thanks for all the nice compliments! Now, if summer could just come quickly we'd be set!

[MeredithsMom]

Harper is so precious!!!! I just love the pics. My DD was born on 8-12-04 and they are very similar in size (Meredith is 15 lbs and 26 1/2 inches now). I am STILL in love with that J&J dress and am kicking myself for not just getting it already. I've had it in hand 3 times at the store (at the $39.99 markdown). I wanted it for Meredith's birthday though, and can't figure out if the 12-18 month size would work.

Again, thanks for the pics! I look forward to seeing them.
