We LOVE Sweet Pickles! Clare has a bunch of them that I found on ebay for Mario when she was still Baby P! Fixed by Camel is our current favorite! Where did you find yours?

I remember Sweet Pickles from being a kid. They were some of my favorite first books.
In other thoughts, exactly how many “outfits” should I plan for with a new baby? Each time I see how many times you change Kate’s clothing I’m curious how to plan for a newborn!

We had the Sweet Pickles series when I was a kid. They were lost during one of the many family moves. Mom re-bought them on e-bay last week and they just arrived.
Will likes “Scaredy Bear” and “Octopus Protests” right now, but we still have a bunch more to read. I remember liking “Me Too, Iguana” and “Elephant Eats the Profits” as a kid.
Eli: I’d say you need a couple of sleepers/rompers (4-5) and a bunch of onesies. Go easy on the outfits until 6 months or 9 months sizes; they live in sleepers/rompers and onesies until 3 months. I can fit all of Kate’s clothes from 0-6 months in a small tupperware container, just to give you an idea of what we have. I try to keep it simple now ’cause they REALLY start rolling through clothes after about 18 months.
