Girls Rule! …and drool

Jane is drooling like a waterfall. Seriously, it just pours out of her. I’m tempted to giver her a dash of red food coloring and make a horror movie. Her first tooth finally made its tiny appearance right around her 4 month birthday, and the one next door looks like it will be soon to follow. When I give her a teether toy, she gives it back after a few minutes, completely covered in slobber. Soaking wet shoulders are an every 10 minute occurrence around here.  Jane’s Uncle Andrew was nicknamed “Androol” as a baby because he suffered enjoyed this same affliction. So at least she’s in good company…

If you can’t beat the drool, we might as well make it cute! Enter these adorable drool bibs. There’s nothing like the perfect scarf to make an outfit and Jane, being the fashion maven that she is, has adopted this whole-heartedly. Or I’ve forced it on her – that’s what mothers are for, right? I know, enjoy it while it lasts. I was happy to find this cute and simple pattern for drool bibs on one of my favorite sites, Purl Bee. Don’t you just love it when fashion and function meet?

Look, she likes them! In full disclosure, she likes anything that she can reach and jam in her mouth, so these bibs aren’t special in that regard. But I like them! And look how cute she is with her little bandana and jean shorts! Ugh, cutest. baby. ever.
