Dotty is a Teapot

Short and stout.

So despite my attempts to be anti-denim in the first year, I have to admit they are a great costume for photo shoots like this one:

title: cowboy cousins
models: dotty and oliver
photographer: mere lesueur
dotty styled by mere lesueur
oliver styled by nicole lesueur


This is an outfit that my sister-in-law Karen sent awhile ago and since the size is 6-12 months, it is no surprise my daughter's 4 month legs are nowhere near long enough. What you can't see in this picture is that the pants are both unbuttoned and unzipped. Looking at these jeans I thought Old Navy made a huge mistake since no baby could be that long limbed while being so slender. However, both Oliver and William have beautiful skinny legs and slender torsos. Changing Oliver's diaper once I was shocked to see that his size 3 diapers were fastened with the tabs touching each other. Dotty's size 3 diapers have to be loose or else she screams with discomfort.{sidenote* check out dotty's pics to see more of the photo shoot including farm props from grandma paula's decor.}
Anyway I decided to look for a more appropriate pair of jeans for my round little dot and I jokingly said that I would have to buy a pair of 18 month shorts. Well as it happened I found a perfect pair at target {oops} and they are in fact knee shorts sized 18 months.

To make her feel better about her body image we bought her a jumper. We were going to buy the kind that goes in the doorway, but since we had money on a gift card we went all out. Dotty loves the rainforest. Can't you tell? This face is saying "why would you even think of cutting this down!"
