Turns out coats, REAL winter coats anyway, are really hard to find for Liesel's age group. There are fancy fur ones that are more for show than warmth, and some cutesy snowsuits but not really much that would protect my adorable girl from the harsh Boston winters. I finally found a Columbia brand coat (on sale!) that was perfect. It has a removable lining which she can use immediately, a removable hood and the pink and white colors make her look like a strawberry tart. There's just one problem:
It's HUGE! She's kind of swimming in it right now because the smallest size was a 2T and Liesel's a good 5 months shy of that. I Velcroed the cuffs as small as they would go which helped a bit. Oh well! At least she'll be warm!!!

I got Ezra a coat just like that (4 in 1) at Target. I know he is a boy and I didn't look in the girls section, but I did get it in his size (12 month). Maybe you could check them out if you get desperate.
Right on Sistah! Our pea coat is making it's 3rd appearance on a child this winter. Also a little big, but we've been through this enough to know that if one thing is for certain, it's that kids grow!!
meh don't sweat the size. she'll fit into it before you know it. and if it's still big at the end of this winter, maybe she can even wear it next winter, too. we stretch out the use of our kids' winter coats that way.
