I have had a hard time finding the time to take pictures with her sick but I want to keep them for her in a little album to show her one day. Well, that and about 1000 other photos and blog posts.
It's almost impossible to get a picture of her lately where she isn't crying. If I don't hold her she cries because she isn't feeling well. I have to let her cry while I do dishes and cook, otherwise I would never get anything done. It's so hard to resist the urge to pick her up though. My Maya Wrap would be really useful right now!
I wanted to take a picture of her in her little sweater. I got it at the antique linens sale. It's so adorable with bat sleeves and cutouts! She looks like a little 19th century princess in it. I don't knit and no one I know can knit (except my blog friends!) so whenever I see hand-knitted baby things I have to to buy them. Someone spent so much time making this and it's so intricate that to see it put to use makes me very happy and probably would have made the person who made it really happy.
another look at the sweater...

its lovely!
i find myself drawn towards knitting that kind of really special baby sweaters, either fancy yarn or special details so its good to see that parents actually do put those kinds of things on their kids and they aren't useless for them (or for me with the ones im starting to put aside for someday).
(i just realized that might sound like an announcement, which its not, just a little stockpiling ;)
Not to worry. I did the same thing. I stockpiled cute baby things for years and Charlotte is wearing them just now. I think it's a great idea to start a layette early and slowly fill it.
I have to take a full photo of the sweater for you. It's too cute. I'll tack it onto this post tomorrow.
Oh good, I was just going to request a full picture of the sweater, but it's already been promised.
Even with her tears she's immaculately cute. I hope you all feel better soon.
love the sleeves!
