Springtime in February

SO.  A couple weeks after Felicity Anne was born, I saw this dress for sale at Old Navy (love their girl clothes!!!) At the time, with her so little ( ok, i know, i know, 9. 14 isn't really that little, but at the time :))

I wasn't sure what size she would be at what point. So i LOVED this dress, and bought it, and, wouldn't you know it, - I realized this week she will never fit in it this summer. At which point I decided that my vision of her in this dress, sitting on a carpet of clover in my yard with the warm sunlight playing with her wisps of hair was NOT going to happen. hmmm. :(

However, I also decided that even though we still have up to three foot drifts in our yard, and it is cold and bleak, - I could still crank up the heat and have a pretty photo shoot inside. Our green couch will have to convey the sense of spring! :)

 Since I didn't want to bore you, - I did not put the ten pictures on here where she discovered her feet and tried to eat them even though they were SO cute!!! :)

Justice can ALWAYS get her to smile!! Love that dimple!

Here she is with 'bunny' one of her fav's to chew on....

My happy beautiful baby girl!!!

The trouble is, I am now even more in love with this dress, and would make her wear it all the time if it wouldn't be just plain mean in this weather... Maybe I'll find one like it this summer...
