    I'm actually crazy about keeping things equal between them. I don't know why. But if I buy something for one, I buy for the other too.

    But the girl clothes are really cute. I haven't started buying for spring/summer yet, but can't wait to start!

    I'm the same way about trying to keep it equal but I will say that they are given more girl clothes than boy for some reason. That or people buy them twin outfits and they are both for boys. Haven't figured that one out yet but any ways... LOL
    Girl clothes are MUCH cuter than what they put out for boys.

    Right now it's about equal, but I've hardly bought anything for the kids since they were born about 3 months ago. They're living in gifts and donations. When I start buying, it will be mostly sale items because they outgrow everything toooo quickly.

    Iam stupidly crazy about making sure I buy them the same amount of outfits. The girl clothes are cuter and more of, but I have found some really cute boy outfits. They are almost 4yrs old and I am still this same way.
    Sometimes I find outfits on sale for one, then I either pay full price for the other (don't know how much I really save this way) or I just don't buy any.

    Jake actually has more than Emma, but most of his are hand-me-downs from Josh! The little girls dresses are so adorable, so I can see how you can totally go crazy!

    In the beginning she had WAY more but as they grow older and I have to buy new things that fit its beginning to equal out.
    We bought alot of our clothes at garage sales (while I was pregnant in the summer) and then received alot as gifts so Ive only really just started buying them clothes now that they are almost 1 year old!!

    I'm the opposite... my son has more clothes than my daughter but it's not my fault!!! My sister's sister-in-law has twin boys so I have all her hand-me-downs for Ezra. On the other hand, a friend of mine has twin girls so I'm getting her hand-me-downs but not as quickly so I have more boys stuff. I haven't been well enough to go shopping yet but when I can I am certain I'll have the same problem as you. Girls clothes are just so darn cute!

    :laughing: SO TRUE FOR US!!! The girls clothes are way cuter and the boys toys are more fun (for us!) Glad I'm not alone in the clothing dept!

    My DS gets all kinds of hand-me-downs from an ex-boyfriend of mine..strange but true. He is married and has a son so he gave me the hand-me-downs! My DD has a lot of clothes too. I am never at a loss of an outfit to choose from:) They are now 10.5 months. Isn't this SO much fun..watching them play with each other and start to really interact. They share a room and they crack each other up when they wake up in the morning. I love it!!!

    I have a ton more clothes for my daughter. She does get hand me downs from the older kids at daycare, but even when I try and keep it equal when buying clothes, she always gets more. Girls clothes are so much cuter. I can't resist sometimes. I figure someday she will rebel and not want to wear dresses, so I might as well dress her in them now while I can.

    Definitely but only because my friend gave us tons of hand me downs (someone in her DH's family had triplet girls) so she got so much stuff and sent me only half and the closet is beyond full. Also my mom buys stuff of clearance all the time!!!! She tries to by for DS but their clothes aren't as cute as girls clothes.

    I'm also big about keeping things even between them. Annalise always ends up with more shoes though ;) .

    My son has more clothes then my DD. But she gets more new clothes then he does. My BF has three boys, so her and I do a boys clothes exchange, so he has gotten a ton of clothes from her. None of my friends have baby girls, so DD has been the only one we've had to buy clothes for.

    Yes...Yes...Yes!!!!
    Her side of the closet overtakes his. There is just too many cute girls things out there!
    I try to keep it even but, sometimes I can't help myself!

    I always try to buy equal, but right now there are so many cute little boy outfits in the 18 - 24 month size for summer. I actually bought some. I have to say though my MIL and SIL do most of the clothes buying for Max & Lily. They are shopping nuts, so I figure let them spend their money and we will buy the diapers and food. :p

    I also keep it very equal. Just the other day at Kohls we were shopping for some birthday presents for them we already had 3 outfits for each in the cart, and my hubby seen this one outfit that he just adored for our son, so I said, "well now I have to get Kera another outfit" ;). So it's very equal. Or at least I try to be. Although girl clothes are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!

    at this age I don't worry about keeping things even. We get a lot more hand me downs so it depends on what we have been giving and what I have saved for other kids. I do thik my dd has more clothes. I just think they aer so much more fun to buy than boys clothes.
