The one with another happy happy birthday.


today my baby is 5.
she is all 5 today.
yesterday i told eveyone
to take a good look at her on her last day
being 4.
i'll miss 4.
5 means bring on the sass(if shes like her sis)
5 means kindergarten.
5 means wiping your own bum.(cross'n our fingers)
5 means sleeping in your own bed all night.(we had to draw a line)
5 means independence.
5 hurts.

are birthdays like this for you?
i've got to come to grips!!!!

well here she is.....
our "baby",
enjoy.



at the hospital, ready to come home.
when you got her to giggle you became
greedy and wanted more,
and she rarely obliged.
in front of her "big girl bed"
i think she slept in there twice.
ok maybe three times.
one binky was just never enough.
first piggy tails. it was apparently a big day.
she had some seriously crazy hair.
and she was pretty serious most of the time.
if you know her now thats hard to believe.
she's making up for lost time.
i love you eliza may.
you may turn 5 now.

i'll be brave.

She is so beautiful! Well done you! Because she doesn't look much like Josh. It is so fun to see the progression of her little life. She has beautiful locks.I continue to be jealous!!

Our daughter turned 10 on the 17th, too--birthdays are no fun for moms, are they?

Little Eliza is precious, Emily. I hope her birthday was wonderful--and I hope her fifth year is fantastic!
