And suddenly, she is five. My first girl, Kennedy Grace, is five years old today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL!
She is spunky, funny, sweet, determined and stubborn. She is smart and beautiful. She is the best big sister to her little sisters and she is her Daddy’s girl. She loves frogs (and other critters) and lip gloss and baby dolls (and barbies and dress-up and shoes and climbing tree’s and riding her bike and skirts and leggings and so much more!) She is one of a kind, and I love her dearly. Now, if we can just get all that determination and stubbornness channeled in the right direction, we’ll be good 
Here she is, as a newborn baby….
And here she is a few weeks ago…
a couple more newborn pictures…
and these were taken a few days ago…
These two were taken a couple of weeks ago, she is totally into playing baby dolls lately 
I found this next one looking back on her baby pictures. This is her cousin Owen kissing her for the first time. This just melts my heart and makes me all goo-goo-ga-ga. They may live 6 hours apart form each other, but they are the kind of close that only cousins can be when they are together…
Here they are back in the summer…
Ah. They grow SO fast! Excuse me while I go into doting Momma (and Aunt) mode…
