One Sock, Two Socks, Clean Sock, No Socks

There is a new chill in the air, or an old familiar friend to others!  It makes mornings crisp and refreshing. It also means Abigail's feet need some protection once her sleep sac comes off from her night's slumber.  Is it me or is it difficult to find socks for infants. In fact...she is crawling...but not a toddler...yet not quite infant either. She uses her feet a lot though to pull herself up on anything that comes to shoulder level. We have mostly hard wood floors so she needs a little more grip to her feet.

Barefoot really is the easiest for her, but not the most practical as we slide from fall into winter. I also find that sizes are NOT true to size. I picked up a pair at Kohls...cute as anything, super soft, and have grips. Sized 3-12 months! Quite a stretch. However, when she crawls they inch off her..and completely come off when in her jumper. I heard that Walmart's standard ankle socks with the grey stitched toe and heel work well. I bought them for her when she was a true infant...but have yet to try her current size now that she's on the MOVE. Also heard I may luck out at Old Navy?

When she was born, one of the gifts from my sister was a pair of bunny socks with an adorable little cotton tail on the end. Though they are meant for looks...they are actually the ones that stay on her feet the best. She just can't be a bunny 7 days a week though...it will look like I'm too lazy to do laundry, which is quite the opposite!

So the hunt for practical socks continues...meanwhile...I will keep adjusting the ones she has...and continue to pull them back over her little heels. Would appreciate any direction experienced winter moms have to offer.
