Annalisa just didn't want to give up her tea cup with Cerios (yep...Still a hit), so we compromised!
This is Hippo! Nonna Lucia gave this to Annalisa!
Just a little perspective.
The dress Annalisa wore for these portraits is the same dress she wore in Guangzhou for her swear in ceremony at the American Embassy (below is a picture of her at the Garden Hotel in Guangzhou right after the ceremony 8 months ago). Back then, she didn't have any hair so I put the hair clips on her sleeves. The dress was really big on her but I made the bow on the back a little tighter so it wouldn't look so big. It was also so long that you couldn't see her feet underneath it.
This was the first dress I allowed myself to buy for her a few months after we got our LID.
Today, the sleeves were a little tight around her chubby arms and I know it is the last time she'll wear it. It will soon go in her memory box :)
