What I realized is, that its not easy to find vintage clothes for kids. (I also realize it isn't easy to preserve clothes worn by little munchkins) So, I was so excited to find these fab pieces on <a href="http://www.bleubirdvintage.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Bluebird Vintage</span></a>. The site has great clothing for everyone, but I love picturing my little guy in a vintage Member's Only jacket:)</span><br /></div>
