my funny valentine

we met with a potential nanny on saturday morning. thea, in typical fashion, pooped through her clothes about two minutes before the woman arrived at our house. i quickly threw on another outfit and we went downstairs to meet her. we chatted for awhile, i asked lots of questions and both zack and i got a really good feeling about her. zack's favorite part of the interview was her response to his question about what time she's available to start in the mornings: "my husband gets up for work at 5:30 so i'm up at 5am to make his breakfast, lunch and all his snacks for the day." i could just see the wheels turning in zack's head. dream on, buddy.

anyway, the woman took thea in her arms and was playing with her when she looked up and said to me: "her clothes are too small! don't you have anything bigger for her to wear?" yeah, i know, thanks for pointing it out. the kid is growing like a weed and the outfit she was wearing is sized for three months and yes, she is too long for it now. i'm a terrible mother, sue me.

so, you'll all be happy to know that thea is now wearing 3-6 month clothes. however, one of my favorite three month outfits is the one pictured below [white with hearts]. so i risked being an inadequate mom and possibly stunting her growth to put her in it one last time for these valentine's day photos:
