Pretty in Plaid

When I was pregnant I would stop by the thrift store and consignment store to see if there were any great deals on baby clothes.  I tried not to buy too much since we didn’t know if we were having a boy or girl.  But there was one little dress that I just couldn’t resist.  Elaine is finally able to fit into it.  Since we were both wearing plaid today, we took some pictures before church.  You probably think I take too many pictures.  Ben has already pointed out that she will likely be the most photographed child we have.  But pictures are my thing, and I have to have something to post on this blog, right?

You can’t tell, but she her little tights are cable tights that someone gave me.  They are so cute!

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I think I see Godby in Elaine in this picture.  There’s just something there…but I’ve never been good at knowing who a baby looks like!  No doubt about this though, she has Grandpa Godby’s lungs!

So many facial expressions!

This reminds me of a picture that I’ve seen of myself as a baby, but I can’t remember which one.  Any insight Mom?

Okay.  Picture time is over.  Notice the drool all over the front of her dress?  That was just from a couple of minutes.  I am soooooo grateful for bibs!  I think she might be starting to teethe.  She has started rejecting the paci (sometimes) in favor of her two fingers – the same two fingers I used to suck.  But she sticks them very far into her mouth and nearly gags herself.  And she drools.  And drools.  And drools.  And she’s a little cranky.  We’ll see – I’ve read that they can get symptoms a month before they cut teeth.  Maybe I’m just over-reacting.  (I’m new at this mommy thing you know).
