Happy Birthday to My Baby Girl!

Somebody stole time from me.....my baby girl turned 6 today!


She's one heck of an amazing kid.  She's so intelligent, articulate and wise beyond her years.  She has a thirst for learning a parent would only pray their child would have.  She leaves us in awe with the questions she asks, and the concepts she catches on to.  I love that kid.


Lately...



  • She's in level 8 in swimming lessons, working on the butterfly stroke and breast stroke.
  • She's reading at a 3rd grade reading level.
  • She LOVES ballet.
  • She wants to be a singer when she's older...but inherited her mother's voice so that's not an option!
  • And the next minute she wants to be a doctor so she can work with her Daddy.
  • She loves to play teacher or mommy.
  • She inherited the big ears her mother used to get in trouble for when she was a kid.  :-)
  • She also inherited how clean she keeps her room.  (you know when your parent's say they hope they have a kid just like you...well it works...I did!)
  • She is soooo excited to be a big sister again, but only if it's a girl.  Apparently it's name will be Sara.
  • She told us that she has a boyfriend at school....hmmmm
  • And that when she was playing with Andrew she 'accidently' kissed him....bigger hmm
  • She loves to add 'ish' on to the end of words...."Mom that dress is churchish not schoolish."  I laugh every time.
  • Calls things Nathan does 'boyly'  as in boy-lee.  Because if some things can be girly, then others must be boyly.
