My Kid is All Grown Up!

Today Caralie turned 6 years old.

Hard to believe that only 6 years ago I was screaming at the obstetrician to, "GET IT OOOOOUT!"

But it was worth the crappiness that is labor and delivery to get one of these cute things:


Clearly this photo is significantly after said labor and delivery.

Then she grew into one of these cute things:


In my mind I can still see the ring in the bathtub after that delicious mess.

Then she grew into one of these cute things:


Sooo full of energy - she could even wear out her father. Which is hard to do.

Then she grew into one of these cute things:


And the love of princesses and dress-up began.

Then she grew into one of these cute things:


A big girl! A preschooler, no less.

Then she grew into one of these cute things:


A big, BIG girl full of sass and potential. A favorite of her kindergarten teacher. A sweetheart. A love bug. A pain in the butt 50% of the time.

But I love her no less. Probably more.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea!
