fresh styles from 1977

My mom pulled a few of my baby clothes out and mailed them to me... most I remember quite clearly, although I suppose I looked through them at some point in the last 33 years.

In any case, she also included little cards with notes as reminders as to their origins.

Before our lives become focused on our little one (she is due in just 11 days), I thought I'd go ahead and document these in case they sucked into the contemporary baby goodness that has taken over her room.

Sweetness below...

Holly Hobby or Little House anyone? I think I wore these often, including my first trip to the beach. Gingham is great.

Booties made by an aunt....sweater is cute but not sure where it came from.

Polly Flinders dress. I remember the dress well, but didn't know that the brand was especially swank. Perfect light weight for those days above 80 degrees in Corning, New York (so maybe once per year) :)

Hand-made by an aunt, I think.

Sweet swiss-dot blue-ducky item....I think I would call it a pinafore (check out wikipedia "pinafore" for a reminder of what it is).

A special number for my baptism from grandparents :)

The following set came from my grandparents. It must have been kept for special occasions, cause it's still white and looks brand new.

Leaving the hospital, I must have been tickled pink :)

This little terry footed sleeper was a favorite (from my recollection)...the little flower patch on the left chest is sooooooooo in my memory.

The two following outfits are sweet jumpsuits with little bellbottom pants. I must have been a little older when I wore these...1.5 or 2 yrs? First is cotton gingham and the second is a polyester number.
