Day 86 - Her Old Hat

Tonight we were up in the kids' rooms cleaning out their closets. Not that they were messy or anything but when they outgrow clothes I usually fold them and put them at the top of their closets. Eventually they're sorted through and either donated or boxed up and put in the garage. We decided we wanted to take care of it now before we move that way we didn't have to unpack them when we got to Utah just to pack them back up and put them in the garage.

While we were going through Ashlynn's clothes we found a hat that she wore a lot in the NICU. My tiny 4lb 14oz baby girl (she was 5lb 6oz when she was born but dropped a lot of weight because she wouldn't/couldn't eat), seeing the hat brought back a lot of memories. I still get very emotional when I think about it because she had a few very rough days in there. She is now happy, healthy, and over 21lbs!! Dave decided to put the hat on her again to see if it would fit...


Here is how it used to fit:


hahahaha We used to have to roll the hat up to make if fit better on her tiny little head. *sigh* My sweet little baby is getting so big.
