Yea! DD has 'big girl' shoes now!
So we went to the Stride Rite store to get DD's feet measured and whatnot. WELL, my mom was in town, and even though I SAID I was just going to measure, and not to buy... well, that lasted about a minute. So DD has a super cute pair of "walking" shoes, that I have to admit are pretty awesome. She was basically taking a few steps here and there, mostly only when I was standing there with my arms out. Well, w got her some new shoes, and she was FLYING around the house today, chasing the kitty; it was CRAZY! I know it wasn't the shoes, but still.
Anyway, I also went to Shoebuy (because I can't pass up a sale, lol) and bought a pair of 'nice' sandals for DD in half-a-size bigger, so hopefully we can get a little extra wear in them (I doubt she'll be wearing them in the next month or so, more in May/June-August). I also got a new pair of shoes for me, which I'm really excited about because I haven't gotten a new pair of shoes since before I got pregnant with DD (seriously - I only own 3 pairs of shoes, and one pair is flip flops). I basically got her sandals for free - $20 off plus the 10% for registering - YAY! And I honestly can't wait to use the next 10 off... Ya'll may have created a monster here...

Yeah, I know, it's me again talking about shoes...
Well, DD still has freakishly small feet; they're hovering between a 3 and a 4, depending on the brand (the 4 is always big, and sometimes the 4 is WAY too big, as is the case with Merrell).
DD has a multitude of Robeez, and one pair of Merrell Junior mocs, which are cute but nearly impossible to get on (even though they are still big on her, I think she just has chubby cankles).
Anyway, I want, for this spring/summer:
1 pair of somewhat nice (to wear to church/Easter/Baptism) white sandals. Not anything fancy or anything. I was looking at the Umi Giggle sandals, but I don't know anything about the brand, and a serach here was futile ;( )
ETA: Willits anyone?
1 Pair of casual, everyday outside sandals. Good for the park, taking walks, etc. I like the idea of the Keen Newport H2: http://www.keenfootwear.com/pdp_page.cfm?productID=245 but I don't like the price, lol. I spent a lot on the Merrell Mocs, and honestly I'm not crazy about them (they're hard to get on, DD finds them hard to walk in, etc.
Qualifications: They have to be bendy, I think I'm the flexible-shoe police. They also have to be good outside, which is why I just can't use robeez all the time.
Oh, and I'd love it if they had them at ShoeBuy, so that I can use that coupon that was posted earlier ;) I've been doing searches over there, and I'm SO lost.
Thanks mamas!
