If something 25 years or older is an antique, then Kaylynn had a photoshoot in an antique dress. 26 years ago, my mom didn't know my gender before I was born, so she told her mother (my Honey) that she could go out and buy an outfit for the me when I was born. Honey came back with the pinkest, frilliest dress the store had (didn't you Honey??) I wore this dress home from the hospital and again for my 1 month pictures.

When we found out Kaylynn was going to be a little girl, mom pulled the pink dress out of hiding and got it washed and ready for when she was 1 month old. We had intentions of getting photos taken by a real photographer (aka, not me) but she got strep and we had to cancel. Kaylynn was in a great mood this afternoon (and who isn't after a trip to Aaron Brothers!) so I decided it was now or never. Mom would NOT be happy with me if Kaylynn hit 2 months without the pictures. It turned out to be a good thing, because if I had waited too much longer, she would have out grown the dress.
Here's Kaylynn wearing her mommy's old dress, sporting a smile! Her pretty little smiles make us melt!
The dress also came with a bonnet. The bonnet is about to lose both strings that hold it together. Luckily, I've been on a sewing kick, so if I was good, I'd sew them back on. IF. :)

And just for fun, some taken with Mommy's scarf (made by Auntie Allison) as the background.
When I go to Frankston, I'm going to find my pictures in this dress so we can compare. Maybe we'll get an inkling into who Kaylynn looks like. For now, we're both tired...
