10 Years ago today

I was scheduled to go in and have labor induced because I was past my due date. Well, I woke up that morning to go to the hospital and started having labor pains. She was stubborn and was going to come on her own terms and not have someone "force" her out!

Here she is after they cleaned her up of course.....all 9 pounds and 1 ounce of her! Ouch!


Examining her 1st birthday cake...

And her 2nd birthday cake....

Looking her mischievous self on her 3rd bday....

She can also put on a cute face, which she did for her 4th....

And 5th....

Ok, and 6th too......

With her birthday crown from school on her 7th.....

Finally with some teeth missing on her 8th.....

Showing off for the camera (she's good at that) for her 9th.....

And here she is now. This was taken at the end of April. She always willing to pose for me! I plan on doing a little birthday photo shoot with her sometime in the next few days, unfortunately it looks like it may rain today.

I can't believe my youngest is 10 already!! And I can't believe I haven't gone completely mad yet. She can be stubborn, frustrating, ornery, moody, mischievous and the list goes on......and drive her mother to tears.

But she can also be a sweet, caring, fun loving girl who puts a smile on my face!

Happy Birthday Tiger!!! I love you!!
