5 years old

It's amazing how one little person can change you so dramatically.

6 years ago Aaron and I discovered that God wanted us to have a baby.

1 short year later, though a baby myself, I brought this fierce little spirit into the world.

After 5 short years, neither of us are babies anymore.

He has softened me. He has humbled me. He has helped solidify my mission here on earth.

And I am forever changed.

Happy Birthday to my (not so) little one!

You are smart, curious and hungry to learn.

You are dramatic.

You love people and adventures.

You stick your tongue in your cheek when you are shy.

You love being the center of attention.

You are timid about trying new things--mostly because you hate failing.

You do things in your time, and in your own way.

You do your hair and get dressed before 8 am every single day.

You are passionate.

You are loved.

And you are mine.

Happy Birthday.
