Retiring one of my favorite nightgowns

So in my premommy days, I would always find myself chuckling at new moms when they would look at a new baby and say "I remember when (insert baby name here) was that small. They grow up so fast". I would look at their 6 month old baby and think to myself; how dramatic. Well, I now know what they were talking about. Last night after bathing Charley Frances, I went to put one of my favorite nightgowns on her only to find it was rather snug. Over the past 2 weeks or so, I've come to notice many of her onsies and night gowns were getting a little short waisted and snug, but I think I was in denial. While I am excited about all the fun things that are around the corner with my little monkey, I wished there was a way to keep her a little baby girl forever. After fighting off a tear or two, I put her little nightgown on for the last time, ( without snapping the back) took a few pictures of her in it, and imagined all the fun things in store in our future. Only more of a reason to soak up every second with my Charley girl!
