5 years.

My first baby.
The one who forever changed our lives, 5 years ago today.


You were the quietest most well behaved baby,
during those first 2 weeks in the hospital for
my difficult post labour recovery.


You came with grey blue eyes and fluffy black hair, that mostly fell out
but you still looked cute with the male pattern baldness-esque 'do.


You were the chubbiest fluffiest baby.
(no really, THE chubbiest.)


You were always a good eater.
(which I think is pretty obvious from those rolls...)


Your first time in the pool.
(exuding excitement...)


You've loved music, always.


You started walking at 14months.


You've always been a mini mama.
(& accessories. Always with the accessories.)



Your first little ponytail.


You in this snowsuit.


You're always dancing.
Always.


And when your baby sister came, you stepped up to
the big sister role, better than we could have ever imagined.


My sweet girl, may you always shine as bright 
on the inside as you do on the outside.

May you always love your sister as fiercely as you do today.

You are a dream come true.
The best versions of me and your papa.
I am thankful for you every day
and love you more than words can ever describe.

Happiest 5th birthday.
Hope your day was wonderful.
You deserve it and so much more.
