She's 10!

She's 10 years old today.

How did a decade fly by so fast??

She was a baby like...

yesterday.

She was our little glo-worm,

sitting in a sunny window

with her bili-blanket under her tiny onesie.

Then, I blinked.

Enough with the blinking.

No more blinking.

She's 10 

and she's...

athletic shorts every day

neon green Converse hi-tops

playing in the mud

climbing trees

movies and her snuggie

puppies and kittens

talks loudly in her sleep

wishes for a puppy poster & an iPod 

and she's my little girl!

Now she's double-digits...

two high-five's...

well over half-way through her childhood.

But, she's growing up well.

She's turning into a beautiful young lady - 

inside and outside both.

She helps around the house -

many days I couldn't do it without her!

She is a complete type-A in a tiny package!

We joke that once she discovers Excel documents - 

she will have the whole world 

organized into nice tidy spreadsheets.

With pie charts.

And bar graphs.

Oh, baby girl... I just love you so much!!

Slow down a little, okay?

Happy Birthday, sweetheart!

I love you a million tons!
