Happy Birthday, Princess!

It seems so cliche, but it really does seem like I just brought Lucy Jane home from the hospital. Everyone says, it goes by so quickly...well they are right! My little girl was just going to her weight check with Dr. Fred in her precious little gown...all 6 pounds 6 ounces of her.

My dad was just rocking her for the first time, and I remember thinking, holy cow...he is going to melt right here in front of me! 

She was just napping on her Daddy's chest while he stared at her in awe.

Then I blinked! 

My baby went from Itsy bitty on my hip...

To my sweet buddy that I can't imagine a day without!

I love our talks, and how she dreams! Her imagination is huge and I hope it never changes! Her compassion for others is so genuine! She is so protective of those she loves, and wants everyone to be happy! I pray that the challenges of parenting can strengthen our relationship and not break it. I pray that her fun personality and spirit is never broken, but that she is humble and let's her heart be led by Jesus. 

We started our day with donuts at school with friends! 

Rich, Kaylor, and I brought her chic-fil-a for lunch! She loved that we sat at her very own special table to eat with just her! 

Her Daddy gets extra loving these days. She thinks he's pretty special!

After school, we stopped by Euna Mae's to use my Mother's Day gift card and Mrs. Amy and Miss Grace had a sweet surprise for Lucy Jane!

She felt pretty special! :)

Today was such a fun day celebrating our first baby! She has reassured me I don't have to cry because she is growing up! She said, she will always be my daughter...and there are lots of pictures for me to look at from when she was little when I get sad! Such a funny girl! 

Four just seems so big girlish to me. Not sure I like it.
