Shopping for Anna

最近我和Leah经常光顾商场，常常在卖小女孩儿衣物的地方流连忘返。我已有很多年没有买这么小的衣服了。小女孩儿的衣服花样真多，真是漂亮。看到好看的，漂亮的，我就禁不住买下来，只希望买的衣服大小合适。小安娜穿上一定很漂亮。

Recently, I have been shopping with Leah at the toddler section of clothing stores. It has been a long time since I have done so. The little clothes looked so cute that I couldn't resist buying them. Anna should look very pretty wearing them. Here are just a few of the outfits we bought for her.
