{five}

Today she is five.



Five years ago she arrived at 4:29 a.m. Her 6lb 12oz curled up little body fit perfectly into our arms. Our world for a split second, just stopped turning. She was perfect and beautiful. She was an answer to prayer. She is loved.



Her smile makes me smile.



Everyday of her life, she is a blessing.



She's smart and so full of life. She's stubborn, too. She amazes me every single day.



Today she loves:
♥ Barbie dolls
♥ Arts and crafts
♥ dancing
♥ to hear her baby sister laugh
♥ to help others
♥ iCarly
♥ riding her bike
♥ ice cream
♥ to play splaster
♥ school
♥ fuzzy socks
♥ to swing
♥ ice cream!
♥ music
♥ taylor swift kenny chesney miley cyrus
♥ hello kitty
♥ skirts
♥ to cuddle at bedtime

So proud to be 5.


This number five has been hard for me to grasp. Its so full of emotion. But, today I haven't cried. Yesterday... I did.

Babygirl-
You are our heart. You are such an amazing little girl and we love to watch you grow. Your independent and a girl who knows what she wants. That makes it hard on your parents sometimes - that strong will of yours. Your sweet and tender heart shows love. Your laugh fills our home with happiness. Everyday we are thankful.

xoxo,
Mama

the big 4-

Baby Girl-

Another year has come and gone. It's so hard to believe that I am now the mother of a four year old. During this past year you have gone from toddler to little girl in what seems like a blink of the eye.






You are the most loving little girl. When you throw your little arms around my neck and tell me "I love you very much..." --- I melt. You have no idea how much your mommy and daddy love you back. To you its your arms stretched out wide, or "as big as this room"... but its far more than that.



This has been a big year for you. This is the first year you spent as a big sister. You fill the role perfectly. One of your favorite things is hearing your baby sister laugh and knowing it was because you tickled her. You are always on her side and defend her when you think she's in trouble. I pray that the two of you will always stick together. You also started pre-school this year and you love it. On your very first day you jumped right up, walked through those doors and never once looked back. That is you, baby girl, my fearless child.

Being your mother is truly a blessing. I thank God everyday for giving you to us.
