Then and Now - Hands and Feet

While creating Melanie's one year video, I couldn't figure out how to compare pictures from then to now and still have it flow. So over the next couple months I'll be creating "Then and Now" posts. I'm going to try to keep them in order from when the original picture was taken. However, I'm already struggling with that since I can't find the first diaper (size) she wore. We seem to have misplaced (given away) ALL that we had. Jeff LOVED giving them away when people visited. So, if any of you still have one, I would love to borrow it for a picture. (Just let me know vie e-mail jeffwestra11@yahoo.com thanks)

"Then...and Now..." Hands and Feet
Melanie was born on October 31, Jeff's birthday is November 1. So last year his birthday was spent in the hospital with not a lot of focus. The wonderful weekend nurses found out it was his birthday and gave him the best birthday gift possible at that time... his first card from Melanie. Thanks Nurse Jane for such a special memory! Little stinker didn't want to co-operate with her feet for even a second...little different then a year ago.








Also, let me know if you have a request of something you'd like to see side by side and I'll do my best to get a picture of it.

her hand looks huge!! And I know she still is tiny. It would be neat to get a ring picture~ like comparing the one with jeff's ring on her arm to now? She might have to just hold the ring, but then again it would probably go straight to her mouth, so maybe not a good idea. :)
I was bummed, Kins and I were all ready to watch the melanie video last week(had our popcorn ready too :)) but we couldn't get it to work. :( must be on my end.
talk to you soon!
