Dressing the Spica baby



Back in June when we had the planned closed reduction and the plan to be in Spica for 12 weeks, I had stocked up on t-shirts and dresses to go over the cast.
Now, given that the seasons have changed, I acquired some long sleeved shirts to go over the cast.

Now that we're several weeks in, however, I've determined that plain shirts are NOT my preferred article of clothing over the Spica.
For starters, the diaper that goes over the cast is 100% visible, and I think it just looks bad.  Even with a huge cloth diaper cover over it to mask the hideousness.  Secondly, I've discovered many a toy inside her cast since the t-shirt makes the top of the cast fair game.
Annabelle is currently in 3-6 month clothing - yes, she's 8 months old.  She's a peanut.  :)

 
So ... I've narrowed down my preferences, and these are:
short or long sleeve onesies - size 9 months snapped over the bottom of the cast
sleepers - size 9 months also, snapped all the way around ... zip sleepers wouldn't work I don't think





I've also managed to streeeeeetch a pair of pants over her cast - this was only for Halloween - I had found a pair of Halloween pants at a garage sale earlier this year, and I really wanted her to wear them on Halloween.  I'm a dork.
