April 27, 2011

It's rare that we post a repeat outfit, but I thought it would be fun to see side-by-sides of Lil in the same dress from three months ago.  This dress, from two owls, is made to fit a baby between six and twelve months, but the first time she wore it, Lil was a wee three-month-old! She still looks about as cute in it as ever.  And look at all that hair!

OH-m!

So much has changed since then, like the difficulty involved in getting a good picture of Lil wiggler.  She rarely sits still anymore, and would much rather be scuttling around on her tummy than laying on her back, gazing lovingly at Mama's face (or her camera).  At least this little organic dress makes her appear serene.

five months

Well, Lil is five months old today!  How about a side-by-side comparison:

Today

One month ago

What do you think? Is she bigger? More mature? More prolific?

I really don't have much to say about today, or about Lil's outfit.  We went out.  The dress is from Gap.  Lately the only thing I care to do is stare at this baby. Be warned: from here on, this post contains gratuitous images of Lil. I apologize, and I understand if you stop following this blog.  But it can't be helped.  In my world, there is very little else that truly matters.

Lil went to bed early tonight, tomorrow is our first swimming class! Stay tuned...

31 flavors

I promised a special outfit for Lil's 31st appearance on Everyday Lil.  I pulled out a special diaper, her sparkliest dress, and even some additional flare.  It was nearly 6pm when we started, and I soon realized Lil was not at her best.  After a long day out and about meeting new mamas and babies, and visiting friends in the neighborhood and getting tons of fresh air, Lil was just tuckered out.  There would be no perfect picture, no special ensemble to mark day 31.

 

Her good side (the one that wasn't crying)

It didn't take long for me to give in.  Lil changed into a sleepy gown, and I wrapped her up in her favorite blanket.  So the special look for day 31 is the genuine Everyday Lil.

Has that much changed in 31 days?
