A Short, Silly Girl in a Black Dress

It's been a while since we've posted a "Sunday Morning Finery" picture, and we thought you might be curious as to Kaitlyn's cuteness. Or her wardrobe.

Kaitlyn is big into picking her own clothes now, so even when she can't have carte blanche, I like to give her a choice between two (if it's feasible). Today the choices were a new red plaid jumper, or a new black velvety dressy dress. She chose the dressy dress in a heartbeat.

"Mommy, I'm so pretty!" she told me, after getting dressed. And I, of course, think she is, too. Of course, we talked about how "pretty is as pretty does", but we also decided she was very pretty in her dress and bow and tights and shoes.

After church came the "next to the dining room door" photo shoot, resulting in the picture to the left. Such a nice picture! Such a pretty smile! So... normal. But we had to go through a few pictures to get to this point. Kaitlyn has a kind of scary "smile" when that's what you ask her to do. Your best bet is to just try to catch her being pleasant. Or else this could happen:

Think PINK!

That's right! At our recent 34-week ultrasound we found out that Broccoli is a girl! Wanna see her picture?In case you can't read the little white word it says "FACE". If you still can't see it, tilt your head to your right shoulder. That's her in profile, facing the top of the picture. You could also click for a larger picture.

This isn't the first picture we have of her, but in the pictures below of her 20 week ultrasound we didn't know she was a she.
For that one, tilt your head to the right. You can tell how much smaller she is!

Here are a couple more pictures. The left one has LEGS and ARMS, and the right one is another of the FACE. I can see it, but I'm not going to pretend they're the clearest pictures ever! We'll get better pictures once Broccoli and occupy separate spaces.

So I feel like I've been forgetting something.... oh, yeah, the final chapter in our early summer vacation pictures. Oops. Here you go.
