More Bows. More Bling. More Ballet Shoes. {It’s a GIRL!}

Melissa Beene Ford/ Uncategorized

It took a while for reality to sink in… we’re having a girl!

More smocked dresses. It wasn’t that long ago that I was lamenting the end of the smocked dress era, and I’m almost giddy that I get to dress a little girl in Orient Expressed dresses again.

And Amanda Remembered.

And Auraluz… always my favorite. So breathtakingly beautiful and delicate, and SO hard to find….

And more tiny little girly shoes! Gasp! The shoes!! OH THE SHOES!

(Seriously. Fellow shoe lovers, you MUST check out Gracious May. Oh. My. Word.)

Or… Bear Feet. LOVE. Bear. Feet. Shoes.

And of COURSE… we can’t forget about the hairbows. I’d say it’s time to crank the hairbow factory back up… 

In fact, I’m going to make her her first hairbow today: a white sheer bow with feathers on a tiny little headband. I can’t wait.

Yeah. I’m a little excited that the smocked dress era isn’t over after all.

    *Sigh. I&#39;m glad I saved the receipt for the battle ax baby rattle. <br />I&#39;m going to end up with estrogen poisoning! I&#39;ll have to double up on man things I guess. More fishing trips and late night Gears of War sessions. 😉

    I thought about you when I was writing this, with your three little girls in smocked dresses and big bows!
