5 whole years old.
I sometimes can't believe my baby can be 5 years old. No where near 5 years old. I mean... I swear she was just this teeny tiny baby. This little bundle they handed me after she was born.
But she is 5 years old. She is every single bit of 5.
She is sweet and sensitive.
She is attitude and trouble.
She is a performer with a talent for giving it her all.
She is a friend to everyone she meets... greeting everyone with her contagious smile.
She is oh so serious.
She is oh so silly.
She has that extreme joy and happiness that comes from being 5. (And that extreme drama and grief that comes from being 5!)
She can do everything by herself... and is oh so proud. But... she can also melt down at a moments notice over the smallest thing and nothing can calm her except a big full hug.
She sometimes makes me crazy... but I love this girl to pieces. She can make me laugh until my stomach hurts. Her silliness can give me the giggles. She can make me weep with pride. She can push my buttons and make me furious. She can smile and make me melt.
I am one lucky Mama.
Happy Birthday Zoe! You are growing up too fast for your Mommy... but I am so proud of the big 5 year old you are!

Happy birthday Zoe , hopefully 5 will be a good year
Oh, Colleen, she is juts gorgeous. I'd never seen that delivery room photo, you were luminous. This is such a beautiful tribute to a very big, still-little girl ;)
you get a mommy award for such at beautiful 5 year re-cap!
Oh how I'm hoping for a good year.... one with more independence and less whining!!!
5 is certainly exciting.
I don't know about luminous... but thank you very much. (I have to admit it wasn't in the delivery room. Zoe was a c-section and I look rather gray in the pics immediately after in the recovery room.)
How do we get our big but little girls to slow down on the growing???? The time is just speeding away.
Thank you! I was weepy while I wrote. Every year on the birthdays I look back at all of the years of photos. I feel like our girls are just getting way to big way too fast!
FIVE?! Already?! I can't believe how fast she's growing up...what a big girl she is becoming!
Oh Colleen, she's gorgeous....so full of spunk and fun! Know all the future years will be full of more of the same...
Happy to be a new follower...see you at BlogHer! (and I expect you to track down another Target with the sparkly flats in your size! ;)
It's always so exciting to have someone new comment!
And I got my sparkly flats!!! I almost gave up... but I asked a sales person if there was a number I could search online to see if I could order them... and she checked and they had 2 pair left in my size in the back! Yippee!!!! They are oh so sparkly... but oh so flat and comfy. I'll have to show them to you at BlogHer!
