My little girl is growing up. I cannot believe that this precious spirit that changed my life when I was so young myself is now growing into such a sweet and special young lady. She has grown SO much in so many ways this past year:
*She is finally starting to gain weight and get taller. She is 50 inches tall and weighs 50 lbs, which puts her at about the 10th percentile or so.
*She has grown spiritually. I found her in her room the other night reading the Book of Mormon and writing in her journal. I thought my heart would leap right of my chest from being so proud of her. She is very honest and definitely a rule follower.
*She is so dang smart. Her teacher called me the other day to tell me how truly SHOCKED she was at how high she tested on her NWEA tests. She said it made their class average much higher than normal to have a student test so high.
*She is just beautiful. She has the biggest blue eyes, cute hair, cute face, and a cute little figure.
*She is so dang funny. Ever since she was 18 months old, this little girl had full paragraph conversations with me. She always has something super funny or insightful to say, and definitely keeps me laughing and on my toes.
Above all, she is so special to me. She came at a time in my life that I truly needed her. As she grows older, our bond gets even closer. I don’t have any sisters and I am not very close to my mom. I was very close to my Grandma, and have had some very lonely moments since she died 5 months ago today. Hallie has filled that void in my life, and I hope that we will be very close forever.
I am going to take treats to her class in awhile. Then I am taking her to get a manicure- she loves stuff like that. Then we are having her favorite dinner and her grandparents over for cake and ice cream. I have started doing big friend parties every other year only, and she had a big party last year so this year is more low key. She does get to go to Miley Cyrus tomorrow though, so I think that she is having a fun celebration nonetheless!
I love her with all my heart, and I hope she has the best birthday ever!
