Additionally, Rigby and Leishman swam legs on Mountain Crest’s victorious 200 medley relay team, which clocked in at 1:47.93 — nearly three seconds faster than the second-place foursome from Box Elder.

12. Burt’s Bees Baby Pajamas ($12+): These pajamas are made with 100 percent organic GOTS certified cotton to be gentle on baby’s skin and come in trendy prints to keep them stylish.

I loved little wrap shirts that didn’t even have to go on and off over the newborn’s head, and footed PJs that were an outfit in one piece, made of stretchy fabric that was easy to get little limbs in and out of.

Unless you live in the Arctic or plan on lots of time playing in a winter wonderland, investing in a snowsuit for outdoor play is expensive. For one-time sledding excursions, a pair of rain pants over several insulating layers will provide a waterproof outer layer. But if you are raising a polar bear cub who loves snow sports, a snow suit just may warrant the investment. We prefer a separate pair of pants to make potty trips easier. Alternatively, look for bibs with simple clips or zippers that unfasten quickly to prevent accidents.

My husband developed a good strategy, which is to just snap one of those two or three that close a onesie — or to just not care if the front of the PJs are mismatched and not perfectly aligned!
