a walk down memory lane

Oh dress-up. One of our favorite games to play when our friends came over. When I was 5 years old or so, my Auntie Laura bought us some awesome dress up clothes. Eventually we accumulated a big box full of wacky "pretty" clothes from Value Village.

I remember the one dress we used as a long pretty princess dress was actually sexy white housecoat (not that we knew, or cared).Aria also got a postman's shirt and hat that we used for any boy that came to play dress up, or just a girl who played "the man". I wish we had the hats still, they were the best. I loved the floppy hat that I was wearing in this picture, as well as the pink one that the girl on the right is wearing (can't remember who she is).

I can't wait to buy dress up clothes for Sadie and her brother when they get older.

There I am, still pretty bald. Celebrating my 1st birthday with my cousins. Chocolate cake is by far the best one for first birthdays in my opinion.

Sadie wore that dress at 7 months around December.  Its such a pretty little yellow dress. It was pretty small on her at 7 months, but the styles are different. Too bad I didnt have her cute mary jane tights then to go with that dress at the time.

These posts remind me that I have to find her some more pretty vintage dresses, as shes so cute in them.

This is just a look back at some of my growing up pictures.

This is me, all 6lbs 8oz of me. My little peach fuzz widows peak was shaved off so that the nurses could put an IV in my forhead. I was born a month early, and I had some issues breathing, so I was transferred to another hospital where I was in an incubator for a bit until I stopped turning blueish.

I still have the little pink bunny and the whatever animal that is on the right side, the one with the pink furry hair. I dont think I resemble Sadie at all as an infant. Maybe its because Sadie was born with redish brown hair.

I wonder if this next little guy will look more like me as an infant. Not long until we find out!
