Sitting Pretty

Gabriella and Juliana both have bad colds right now. I blame the community center where Gabriella goes for her little dance/gymnastics class. Every time we walk in the door to that place she gets sick.

A few days ago I took some pictures of Juliana is the dress I came home from the hospital in. I don't know why on earth I didn't think to take pictures of Gabriella in it. I didn't have a ton of time to take these so I might have to do more sometime. You can see the reddish tones in her hair very well here. You can also kind of see her cupie doll curl, or at Jonathan likes to call it... the mohawk. The funny thing is that my mom would always make a little finger curl just like it on her babies' heads (boys and girls alike.) I'm sure I had plenty of gel stuck on my head to achieve this exact look, but Juliana's hair just pops up that way naturally.














Here I am in the same dress (note the scary looking contraption that passed for a stroller in those days)...




Here is a clearer baby picture of me and my cupie curl...

What a fabulous idea! I love the comparison photos. Yes, her hair is definitely strawberry blond with the emphasis on strawberry. :) Does her haircolor equate with a temper? She has changed so much in looks since we were there in Feb. Still beautiful. Her bone structure is very petite. What darling granddaughters I have. Grandma Whisler

Cute! :) I always think G looks more like you in pictures where you've posted of you around 3, but J looks just like you as a baby.

I know I'm seriously behind, but package coming your way no later than this weekend. I'm only what, two and a half months late? :P
