2 Months Old

I made this Kimono from a vintage pillowcase a few months before she was born.  I put it on a month ago and thought I had wasted my time making it since it was so big and looked all bunched up.  I tried it again today and found it much prettier.  Why do we forget that our babies grow so fast?
