Mother/Daughter

The other morning I put Vanna in an outfit that my mother had given me. She'd saved it and told me I wore it when I was a baby. Unfortunately, I waited a bit too long to try it on Vanna. It was a bit small but while I was getting Vanna dressed I could invision my mother going through the exact same experience with me:

Vanna hates getting dressed, and now that she can get around much easier, she also hates holding still. It's always a bit of a fight to get her dressed in the mornings (I wish she would figure out that it takes longer to get her dressed when she fights me than if she'd just hold still:).

The whole experience was like I was seeing de-ja-voo for my mom. She probably went through the same thing around 24 years ago with me. So mom, these pictures are for you (do you recognize the outfit?):

Awww...the memories!!!

That is so cute. It is fun to your kids in outfits that you had when you were little, and even better to put the ipctures side by side.
What a cute little girl you have!

Erica, she is a doll! I LOVE the headband she wears! When we have our next girl, you are going to have to tell us where you get all the cute stuff! And we are going to have you make us some cute braceletts too! Do you make em for bgger kids? Anna's birthday is in July...hmmm...I am thinking that would be a fun present! Let me know the price and all and we can get something going!!

How cute! My mom gave me a bunch of clothes that were mine as a baby, and I loved putting Kenzie in them. McKenzie is STILL awful to dress! Maybe it's a girl thing! I'm sure your mom loves to see Vanna in your little clothes though. So fun.

Her eyes are so big- I can't believe it- she is changing so much- she is cute!!!
On the flower w/ bling- the flowers measure almost 1 1/2 inches, the clips I put them on are about 1 1/4 inch, I've started using velvet on one side to keep clips in better for babies with not much hair/ thin hair to keep them in better and prevent sliding

Too cute! I have one dress that I made all the gils wear, too. It's what I happen to be wearing in our first family photo including me. Crazy that we are the parents now...
I can't believe how fast she is growing now that she can move.
