What can I say? Whether it is an inherited or genetic trait, it’s there! We {heart} baby bubbles! As we progressed in age, our wearing them was sometimes misguided and just plain wrong. So, here is my “Fashion Guideline to Baby Bubbles” as seen through three sisters’ age ranges:
Age 1:”How precious! Look at those rolls!”
Age 2: “Who’s thinking about potty-training yet? Nah….I’m still wearing a bubble!”
Age 3: “Those legs are getting a bit long…Whatcha talking about Willis?”
Age 4: “Uh oh….we’ve entered into an awkward bubble moment!”
Age 6 (yes… 6): “Mommas, don’t let your child enter 1st grade wearing a bubble!”
Looking back at the photos, we’ve laughed at our awkward (and long-lasting) baby bubble years. Yes, the word BABY is there for a reason!! Trust us. Still, since beginning to sew,
LOOK AT THE TREND WE’VE NOTICED:
BABY BUBBLES!! Will history repeat itself?!?!?! We’ve made a “pinkie promise” with one another (not really, but it sounds pretty good doesn’t it??) to NOT do that to our nieces…
Here’s what we’ve got so far:
Age 6 months +: “Oh. My. Stars. Aren’t I cute?!?”
Age 9 months: “Getting a little personality of my own…”
Age 9 months outtakes: “Are we done yet? I need a break!”
Age 18 – 20 months: “We’ve gone from Mozart to Rock-and-Roll.”
Age 20 months: “This is my deceivingly charming and angelic look.”
Age 20 months: “Baby bubbles are great for manual labor!”
So, YES! Baby bubbles live on in this family….but if you see a post about this in five years,
please remind us to STOP. THE. MADNESS.
THE. END.

Hilarious post!
Glad to know the Baby Bubble Fashion Police are on the job.
I seem to remember some teenaged “bubbles” about 1989 when I moved to Cullman.
Deb, so glad you enjoyed the humor (and encourage/support us as we begin our blog)….we laugh every time we read this post! Terri, clarification: they were ‘rompers’ :). And, no…they will NOT be making an appearance on this blog…
[…] them. At this point, if I had just hemmed the sacque, it would have made a sweet dress, but we are bubble addicts, so I continued on. A quarter inch was pressed up at the bottom of the skirt, then an additional […]
Just found this post when I did a google search for Children’s Corner Taylor pattern! Ha! So funny! You always make me laugh. I promise to be the bubble romper police when/if you need me to be, but somehow, I don’t think that will be necessary!
