My Baby is Nine!

Happy Birthday, Emily! I can't believe my baby is nine. And today is all about her. I love the way she has grown and developed into the person she currently is and look forward to the many changes that are still to come.

Emily, with Helen to the right looking as if she is going to devour the cake.
(And I look so young! I was 40 in that photo!)
Bless, she was so gorgeous!
Still sweet!
Cheeky starting to creep in?
Rug burn on her chin from wiping out at the play place.
The year we had the 15' swimming pool and a garden big enough for it.
Young lady!
With attitude!
I love every last thing about this child. She is definitely my Favourite Thing Friday this week. Happy Birthday! For those of you who know I made my girls my favourite thing very recently - I know - but it is her birthday. I had to do it!!

A very proud Mum.

Susan

    I can totally relate-- my daughter just turned 9 last week and I am amazed at the person she is turning into-- and her interests, talents, and character that are emerging... It's hard to believe she's 9 (so grown up-- 8 is still young, but 9??!!) Hope you had a happy birthday celebration!!

    Happy Birthday to you
    I went to the zoo
    I saw a hairy monkey
    And I thought it was... your mum!

    There is absolutely no way you're 40 in that photo.

    Happy Birthday Emily!
    Love those photos of each year. Do you do the thing when you think "this time 9 years ago...." I do it every year with each child and get all emotional!
