5 years ago today I held Brooklyn in my arms and I fell in love in a way I never anticipated. I became a mommy for the first time. We became a little family. Man has the time flown by. 5 years...and I still can't believe she is mine. She is gracious, kind, tender, sweet, beautiful, spiritual, mature, fun, lovely, smart and wonderful. I honestly don't think I could say a bad word about this little girl. She is a dream. And has been since the day she was born. Every eve of her birthday I have the same experience. Before I went to bed last night I went in kissed her a million times as I sat on the side of her bed. I stare at her and wonder how in the world I got so lucky. And I ball like a baby. Every year I do the exact same thing. Last night was no different. Then I looked at a picture I have framed in her room of me kissing her minutes after she was born. Then I look back and see this sleeping five year old. Time is so precious. I love this little girl with every being in my body and I always will. She has a very kind soul and teaches me to be kind, to say more prayers, to say nice things, and to serve more. Brooklyn will always be wise beyond her years and I really can't get enough of her! Happy Birthday to my sweet 5 year old. Brooklyn, you are my best friend and I adore every single thing about you!
Enjoy a little stroll down memory lane. I read through my blog from when Brooklyn was born till about 2 years. Balled through the whole thing!
Love.
Love this picture. Seems like yesterday that I sat in the hospital bed and looked over at the clear cart and saw the most perfect baby I had ever seen. She still is perfect.

1 years old and still no hair. Wasn't she adorable though?
I remember this day so vividly.
Always happy. She was actually sick here but still huge smiles!
2 years old on Easter.
6 months. Finally started to chunk up (a tiny bit. Brooklyn and chunk have never gone together in the same sentence:).
First Halloween.
Time has flown. Too fast. What an absolute joy she is. And now she goes to Kindergarten!
