Before Claire was born, one of my hubby’s cousins knitted a sweater set for her. By the time Auntie M was done with it, it became a very limited edition, because of the complexity of it. In fact, I think we own the only set! I’m not a knitter, so I can only imagine how tricky a pattern like this is.

Cute as a Ladybug Button

It’s beautiful.
It really is a work of art.
In January of 2007, Claire was finally big enough to wear it. It was still a little big on her, but we got some great pictures.

Well, I’m happy to report that it still fits! I think this may be the last season for it, though.

Take Two!
Isn’t it amazing how much she’s grown!? Or, is that sweater set shrinking? Surely that’s gotta be it…

I have to admit, it’s a very cute sweater and it needs to be kept for her to pass on to her own child some day. I know my girls have a few clothes that they love and I’ll keep for them to have again as they get older and have kids of their own. Just remember to love her everyday no matter what.
