So! You guys! It's my daughter's 5th birthday today!
And since she wants to hang out and watch a movie this morning before we head to the parade this afternoon - and it's her bday so she gets to decide that - how about some pictures of my kids in the same handknit sweater?
The Girl: March 17, 2010:
Look how little she was! Look how short her hair is!!! It goes so fast!
I started this sweater on
our trip to Maine when I was pregnant for the very first time. Before we knew she was a girl. Before we knew we'd have 2 boys after that. All I knew was that my kid was going to be born around St. Patrick Day and therefore needed a green, cable knit sweater.
I finished it just in time for her 1st birthday.
Notice there's no buttons? Yeah I didn't get around to sewing those on until 2012. Seriously.
The Dude: March 13, 2012:
OH THAT SMILE! And notice how OUTSIDE we are? Seriously outside. In shorts. I can't even fathom that right now.
So outside!!!
They both look so young!!!! Even the dog looks like a baby:
The Little Guy: March 17, 2014:
My littlest one. The only one without the benefit of natural light since it's 20 DEGREES OUT OMG WHEN WILL THIS WINTER END.

He's such a happy little one:
Although he did keep trying to crawl away during this little photoshoot.

| I don't know what you're talking about, mommy. |
Heh.
Have a wonderful St. Patrick's day!!!!
