And Just Like That...She's 12!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful Sydney Faith! 

 

She is 12-years-old today. 

Another year has flown by. 

Time is always going a little too fast for me. 

What can I say about this girl that you guys don't already know? 

She's just awesome. 

An all around cool chick. 

I'm just so proud of her and the young lady she has and is growing up to be. She made a dramatic entrance into this world weighing 6lbs and 13oz. She was 20" long. These days she is standing right at 5'. I'm guessing by this time next year she will either be the same height or taller than me. Not that outgrowing me is a huge feat since I'm a shortcake, but it's just so odd that one of my babies is about the same height as me. 

She was supposed to stay little forever!! 

 Brand spanking new baby girl!

7-months-old. 

She still squishes her nose like that when she smiles.

Wishing my sweet girl the most wonderful birthday. I have a feeling the next year will be a big one full of all sorts of changes for her. I mean...this is it. We head into the teen years next birthday, which I will admit makes me slightly nervous, but makes me excited all at the same time. 

And there it goes, I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes as my mind is racing through the past 12 years. Looking at old pictures doesn't help! There aren't many things that make me weepy, but my kids can bring it on in a flash. My heart literally overflows with love for them. 

So thankful that I get to be Mom to 3 amazing kids.

This. 

I love this.

I love this girl.

Ahh, why does this parenting ride have to move so fast?!
