It's beyond hard for me to believe that my little girl turns nine today. She has been an amazing bundle of love and fun for our family. It seems like just yesterday she was sitting in the grass, blowing spit bubbles at me. :)
I don't know if it's having a big brother or what, but she's always had a special affinity for super heroes.
She has her own style. Don't tell her what to wear. Don't show her how to wear it. She will come up with her own way of wearing whatever she chooses.
This manifests itself in what she can do as well.... independent, she usually wants to do things herself.
Occasionally, she allows someone to help her.
She is a laugh-er. She absolutely loves to laugh and make people laugh. As I went through all of my pictures of her (hundreds and hundreds), it was hard to choose because there are so many of her with a blissfully happy, smiling face.
She holds a fierce LOVE for her daddy. . . she adores him.
She's always had a deep, contemplative side to her. . .
. . .with moments of crazy, sprinkled in.
As I've watched her grow into her beautiful, nine year old self, I've been blessed to be her mom and I'm so lucky that she's my daughter - one of God's greatest blessings, for sure.
She enjoys caring for and playing with little ones, loves her friends and has a knack for remembering details in any situation. As I see her heart of compassion for others blossom, I'm excited to see what her future holds. I pray as she continues to grow, her heart continues to seek to know our Father and that she will be a blessing to others as much as she has been a blessing to me!
