Little Dresses



Isn't she cute! Did you think she was the new grandbaby? No, she's not, but she is a close relative. It's her mother, our daughter, thirty-one years ago. Sarah wore this dress for her 3 month picture taken at Sears in 1977. The dress may have been our oldest daughter's too. I can't really remember. This I do know, it was passed to the eldest daughter and she had two girls that wore it and was recently passed down to Sarah for Ivy to wear. Are you confused yet? ( smile) In other words it's been through 4 or 5 baby girls over the years.

There are several little dresses of the girls that I kept and are still being used and maybe will be for future generations--who knows?


The next pic is Sarah, also.

My hand is under a blanket holding Sarah up in this pic so she didn't fall. The photographer had to be quick with this shot. smile


Sarah brought the kids over the other day while she did some errands and Ivy was wearing this dress. I got a few pics of her and scanned Sarah's baby pic to compare at that age. Well---the consensus was she looks more like her dad than Sarah at this age.





We had to get Jonas in the pic. He was suffering with a cold and Ivy looks like she's saying "Do I have to get this close to him "?


Have a happy, healthy week and thanks for taking a peek.

They are all so adorable! That's great that you kept those little dresses. I kept the dresses my two little girls were baptised in, but they had boys, no girls to wear them again!

Feel better, little Jonas! KK
