It’s official. My baby is now in the double digits. Sigh. But as a bonus, we are less than a week late with her birthday photos (never mind the kid who had a birthday more than a month ago…perhaps him soon?).
What can I tell you about my baby? Well, she’s awesome, to put it mildly.
She is smart (reads like a champ and aced her last math test)
and funny (she makes us all laugh on a pretty regular basis)
and easygoing (she is usually pretty happy to go with the flow no matter how many curve balls we throw at her)
and athletic (she scored TWO goals in her soccer game this weekend)
and quite possibly the most considerate kid EVER (last weekend she did FOUR loads of laundry…washed, dried, and folded…since she knew there was no way I was going to have time to get it done. I’m pretty sure there may have been tears of relief when I found out everyone would have clean underwear for the week.)
Anyway, you can clearly see that she is a keeper and given more time, this list could go on and on and on, but I know you are really here to see her smiling mug and not to listen to me ramble on and on, so here you go….

Cute, cutie, cute!

I do always love a good serious expression….especially since it means you can see her beautiful eyes.

Of course, there is nothing better than her full on laugh….it’s kind of contagious.

And one that shows the full fabulousness of her “birthday photo outfit”….check out those pom pom legwarmers!

And the one that will be going on my desk…she just makes me smile, inside and out.
Now this year, due to scheduling challenges (you may be noticing a theme around here this year), we did 2 sets of birthday photos at once. You won’t see the other ones until the big guy turns 6 in about 2 weeks, BUT you do get a little preview and to see one of the best photobombs EVER…

More blog posts coming soon…a family session, some Halloween cuties, another family session, and perhaps some slightly belated birthday photos of a dashing young man…



What?? How did she get so big? And also, can I have her? Happy birthday to your baby!
These are so great!! Love!! And we had so much fun watching the big goals and celebrating her birthday!
Fabulous! Love them all. Every word is true, she is amazing, funny, kind, smart, helpful and athletic. Also congrats on the goals, they were amazing.
Her smiles are surely contagious – I’m grinning from looking at her wonderful pictures!
