When I was born, my Grandma Helen bought me a beautiful little pink dress and pink crocheted booties to wear home from the hospital. I had always seen it in my mom's cedar chest and she had always told me about Grandma Helen buying me these items. My Grandma Helen bought me lots of cute little clothes. She loved for the little girls (me and my cousins Carla and Brantley) to have matching little dresses for Easter, Christmas, etc. She was very thoughtful when it came to buying us presents. Anyways, when I found out that I was pregnant with my first little girl, my mom gave me my dress and booties and told me that my little girl could wear them home from the hospital too. My first little girl was born just 3 days before my birthday, so it was special for her to wear my little dress and booties home. It was just short of 31 years since they had been worn last.
As I had more girls, it just became the tradition for each of my little girls to wear my dress home from the hospital. So, here are my 3 girls with my coming home dress and booties on. Sorry, but the first picture is a picture of a picture so it isn't as clear as the others. Don't they all look alike?

This is a beautiful dress and booties and it's so special that they could all wear them just as you did.
I have a dress and booties very similar to this that Hanna wore too.
And yes, your girls all look very much alike!
