The Last Time

As I got Caroline dressed this morning in what is one of my favorite outfits of hers, I realized this will be the last time she will be able to wear it. Her feet and toes are squished at the end and when she reaches out her arms the sleeves are more like 3/4 length than long like they should be. She's finally starting to outgrow her 3 month clothes and move into the 3-6 month size (this gives you a clue as to how small she really is...6 months old and just now growing out of 3 months size clothing). As I've been putting away her too small clothing into plastic storage containers, I've had the slightest twinge of sadness here and there that she'll never wear those clothes again! She just gets more and more fun as the days go by and amazes me at what she is able to do, but as she continues to get farther away from her newborn days I realize just how fast she is growing! Six months have passed in a flash, and obviously the next six months will too. It's things like an outfit that doesn't fit anymore that reminds me to slow down, leave the world behind, put aside life's stresses, and just enjoy the moment. Enjoy being a Mommy to a precious little girl, because in terms of what's important, nothing else even comes close. So here are some pictures I took of my precious girl in her too small outfit while I was enjoying the moment......
