Happy Birthday "Baby" Girl!!

My lil' girl's gettin' BIG! Yesterday was her birthday and she's a whoppin' 4 years old now (going on 14)!! What a character she is these days. Absolutely full of energy and sass 24/7 and she has millions of questions about EVERYTHING. She's a talker too and says things daily that crack us up as well as leave us floored or wondering... and I love every minute of it, yes, even when I think I could pull my hair out :0) Wouldn't change her for the world no matter how many times she steals the contents of my wallet and stores it in her, now misplaced, "wallet" or takes it upon herself to take my credit card up to the counter at McD's to buy her some "chokit milk." She's all girly girl and tomboy rolled together. She can't live without her makeup and has to carry her overstuffed purse everywhere she goes but also can't wait till she can go play paintball or "fight" with her daddy, then come home and put her "babies" to bed!! Lately she's also created herself a little imaginary family. Complete with several brothers and sisters, of all different ages and their names change hourly, and a Grandma. This is just funny. She brings them up very randomly, such as, "Oh yeah, my sister has one of those at my Grandmas house!!" (usually reffering to something she has been told she can't have) or to tell me that her bros. and sisters live at her Grandmas house?! And her "Grandma" aparently lives in every house we drive passed!! See I'm tellin' ya, quite a character huh?, and a constant source of entertainment and delight!! We love you bunches Miss Alora Grace!!



Here's our little stinker at 4 months...

I remember thinking when she was a baby that she couldn't get any cuter...and now she's beautiful! Both those pics of her are great! A lot of personality squeezed in one small person!

Happy Birthday Alora! That little pic was cracky me up! She is quite the character. We really might have to think if we'll let her and Ella hang out together when they get older!;)

She is so adorable! And, I love that she keeps you on your toes - I bet it makes every thing with her seem so enjoyable! When I looked at her 4-month picture I could not believe how much she looks like you! I hope she had a great b-day!

She is growing so fast and she is oh so cute! I hope that Sadie will be just the right mix of girlie girl and tomboy like Alora. I see her going the tomboy direction - she LOVES balls and throws the dolls down. Hmmm. We'll see what happens!
