One Dress & Three Generations

When my mom was around 12 months old, she had her picture made in a little yellow dress. My mom saved that dress for 30 years and had pictures of my sister and me both wearing it at around the same age. Well, here we are 27 years later...and I just had my daughter's picture taken in the very same dress. What a special keepsake these photographs are of three generations of girlies in our family :)

I love looking at these pictures and seeing the similarities and differences between the four of us at roughly the same age. I definitely won the award for the most hair, and Emily wins for most teeth. And if Shelby were to get an award, it would be for the chubbiest arms. OMG. I thought it was an ordeal it to get this dress on for the picture, and then when it came to take it off...I thought we were going to have to literally cut it off of her. It was beyond ridiculous how tight it was on her poor little arms....lots of tears were shed trying to get it off! This girl definitely earned her spot in the 100th percentile for height & weight..ha! {Okay, truth be told she actually dropped down to the 96th or 98th for weight at her 12 month appt.} But I am happy to say, the dress is still in one piece and ready Shelby's future sister or cousin to wear one day :) I just hope it fits them better than it did Shelby! ;)
