We got a Valentine's box in the mail from my mom yesterday that had presents for everyone! There was a little box with these red shoes in it and I said, "Look! Red shoes for Ruby! And they're vintage!" Then I saw the note that said they used to be mine. EVEN BETTER!
She also sent one of my old baby dresses that I put on Ruby this morning to see if it fit and to get some fun pictures. Thanks, Mom!

Like Mama, like daughter! Beautiful.
woah! definite resemblance there. That's such a thoughtful gift from your mom! The shoes are terribly cute.
You have a mini you!! Isn't it wonderful! She will grow up to be as beautiful as her Momma and I'm sure as talented! The best valentine gift yet!
Ruby is so sweet! What a beautiful girl!
That's awesome to have a daughter that looks like you.
We have a picture of my husband (as a baby)and son wearing the same sleeper laying on the same quilt. It sure makes the resemblances stand out.
wow.. y'all look so similar!
Wow, that is just the neatest thing ever! You two look very much alike. I love love love the red shoes. You should frame the picture of you and Ruby wearing the dress side by side. How sweet would that be?!

OMG! You and Ruby look JUST alike. How amazing ^.^
Can't wait to see Ruby wearing her ruby slippers!
Ruby looks JUST like you! How adorable!
Theres a Oshkosh overall tradition in my family. Every baby in my family (cousins etc.) has taken a portrait in the same overalls at the same age for the past 34 years! Its really neat to look at all the pics!

My gosh Ruby looks so much like you as a baby.
How gorgoeous is your Mum for keeping and sending your old baby gear to you. I know I'm going to be like that. I have 3 kids and have kept their baby clothes, up to size 1 and am planning to make memory quilts out of them and keep some of the special ones to give them when they have children.
super cute!! We have some handmade knits (that were my husband's...he's German) that he wore when he was a newborn, and we totally took pics of our kids in them too, I love it, and I can totally see the resemblence!! Keep those cute baby pics comin'!

Of all the Love stories you have featured here this week...this one is my favorite:) I love that your Mom saved these for so long to give to you now. As the Mama of a daughter myself this pulls at my heartstrings. Happy first Valentine's Day Ruby:)
So cute! You have such a beautiful family. Thanks for being an inspiration.
How cute! She looks just like you did. I did the same thing with my girls and my old dress. Too cute. And I love the red shoes.
how cute is that?!
i can see the resemblance.
Soooo cute! You look exactly alike! ;)
Aaaw! You're both so darling. :)
You guys look super alike, but I think she might be a tad bit cuter. Either that or pictures have just gotten a lot better. ;D
Oh my gosh SO CUTE!!
Just read the back of the photo and I was six weeks old so I must've been an early smiler! Neither of mine were smiling that big that early.
Looks just like her mama.
I came across this print tonight and thought about you.

adorable. Yes she looks like her Mommy:) I have a Ruby girl too, she's 7 already, but I had to tell you about our favorite "Ruby" book. There are tons, I admit this is the coolest we've found.
