vintage finley (at 16 months)...

today we had a little impromptu photo shoot with little finley rose.  it all started with her finding and retrieving to me a little antique baby gown.  she wanted me to put it on her, and even though finley is not incredibly vocal, her requests will be made known if a person is willing to figure out her clues.  i tried to explain to her that there was no way the gown would fit on her because it is intended for newborns...she remained fervent in her desire.  imagine my shock when i put my precious 16 month old baby in the little dress and it fit...not only did it fit but she looked so sweet and oddly perfectly vintage that she didn't even seem anachronistic.  i just knew i had to take some pictures.  so i took one of our yellow dining room chairs outside and took as many pictures as the boys would allow (5 minutes).  i am so happy that she wanted to wear the dress and extra happy that i have pictures of how sweet she looked.  sad for me to realize that she is quickly growing and yet this is how i'll remember her.
