Old Favorites

Right after Marie's first Christmas we made the decision to switch her to formula and in a matter of days she gained 5 pounds. Previous to that she was only up 1.5 pounds from her birth weight. Her weight gain continued and within a few weeks she skipped from 0-3 months to 6-9 months and never looked back.

The weight gain was wonderful, excluding one thing; because of it she grew out of this dress after only getting to wear it twice.

This was her first Christmas dress and the first dress I ever made for my own daughter. A very special dress. So, naturally, I was excited to have another daughter to get some more use out of it.That being said, you would think I would have remembered to pull it out of the closet before Anne was 4 months old.

Thankfully Anne had a  slow growth period from 2-4 months so it still fit just fine. Naturally she looks darling in it and apparently silk brocade is tasty stuff. By the end of the day she had pretty much soaked the entire front from sucking on it. 

I love this dress and love having two beautiful girls that have been able to wear it.
