Our Superhero(ine)

She is growing so fast. It is cliché I guess, but it is still true. I remember when we got clothes for 6 and 9 month olds and they seemed sooooo big. I knew she would get to wear them, but that day seemed far away.

Except it came, like a few weeks ago.

I was putting some clothes away in Richard's closet (which happens to be in Nora's room...just come visit, you'll see), and I glanced over to the left at the couple of Nora outfits we have hanging up in there. First, I just chuckled. It is pretty funny to see big boy clothes crowded over to make some room for pretty little white dresses and...what is that to the far left??

 Yes, you see it. It is spotted. Perhaps one would say cow-like.

That outfit is one of the sassiest things Peanut received when she was born, but it seemed HUMONGOUS! The tag on it said "0-6 months." Now I ask you, who in the world thinks that is a sizing that makes sense? At any rate, I hung it up knowing that it would be forever until we could wear that spunky thing. 

And then I saw it. And it had been 6 months. And I thought, "Oh CR*P! We have to put that thing on TODAY! What if it is (cue shivers down spine) already too small?!?

So we hopped to it. We had nowhere in particular to go that day, but by gum we were going to put that outfit on. And (wiping sweat from brow), it fit. Sort of. That is to say that when Peanut is wearing one of her non-disposable wonders, the pants are a little too small...or tight...or something. Handily that is just the style here in Colombia, so we didn't even have to worry about that little hitch. We even got out the cutie patootie socks that go with this thing. They look like Mary Janes, but they are socks, and they have a whopping white flower on them with a rhinestone in the center. My girl was going full-on Costeña I tell you. Yes, a tug here, a cram there and into this sassafras she went...

And when I got worried that the pants might actually cut off her circulation, or at least interfere with digestion, I decided that they could be repurposed...

Cute, right?

Even better though, is that when I sent one of these photos to my friend Sarah, she wrote back and pointed out that with the camera angle just so and with the bows on Peanut's shoulder, she looks like she might be wearing a cape - a la superhero(ine). We all know from The Incredibles that capes are not wise, but hey...sometimes you have to just run with it.

So the question is, what is her superhero(ine) name? Sarah's first proposal harkens back to Peanut's Texas roots combined with the fact that she is already living overseas on a religious visa. Her suggestion? The Righteous Wrangler. Niiiiiice.

We can't determine her comic book identity with only one suggestion though, so we need your help. Fire away friends...fire away.
