Happy Birthday My Baby Girl

How can it be that you are six years already??? Well, technically, we have a few more hours until you are officially six. You see, you just barely made it being born on May 11th. A day that I didn't want because I didn't want to have you have to share your birthday with Mother's Day every few years. Along with May 9th, 10th, 12th and 13th. You insisted, but waited until the last minute. I remember your Daddy was at work and I was at church when the contractions started. I kept my composure as best I could, but those were some real contractions. It was exciting! Even though I initially worried about your birth date, it was a rather fun Mother's Day gift. And even more special that you and your favorite Auntie Jessica's share a birthday.

In honor of your 6th birthday baby girl, your top six favorite things. (Listed in no particular order of course.)

#1. Swinging

You could swing all day and all night. You love it.

#2. Swimming

Every day we pass Cherry Hills, you ask if it is open yet then follow quickly asking if Aunt VaLynn's pool is open. It's getting close swimmer girl!

#3. Spaghetti

You love spaghetti. It's your favoritest food in the whole wide world. You can eat several helpings of spaghetti and it is even more enjoyable when you get the sauce all over your face.

#5. Riding your bike

All day, everyday, everywhere. You ride your bike just to go to the neighbors house. Even when your bike had a flat, you would balance just right on Jake's bike just so you could ride. That's how much you love your bike.


#5. Dancing

Even though every week when I interupt your playing to go to dance and you tell me that you don't like dance class and that you wish that I didn't sign you up, I can tell that you love it. The smile on your face while you are twirling around gives you away. You love dressing up in the costumes and dancing on the stage and we love watching you.

#6. Friends

Good girlfriends are essential to a girls life. You, my dear, have taken it to a new level. You must always be playing with a friend...or three. I am so happy that we have a neighborhood full of friends for you. I don't know what I am thinking because I don't have a picture of you with your friends. I am putting that on my list!

Happy Birthday Miss 'Melia!! I love you more than you will ever know. Looking forward to the next six years of your sassy little self.

xoxo,

Mama
