7.....

You are growing up so fast! I'm amazed at the changes and how quickly it all seemed to happen!
I love that you're able to brush your own teeth...but I miss your sweet gum filled smiles
I love that you take yourself to the bathroom...but I miss that cute little tushie wearing fat diapers
I love that you can comb and brush your own hair...but I miss pulling that long gorgeous hair up into pigtails.
I love that you can write sentences that tell a story...but I miss your baby scribbles
I love that you can buckle your own seatbelt...but I miss seeing you all curled up in your baby carrier

I love that you're getting so tall and even more beautiful...but I miss your short chubby little baby legs
I love that you want to wear nail polish and lip gloss...but I miss just putting baby lotion on you
I love that you can now read me a night time story...but I miss reading you Baby Books
I love that you feel confident enough not to hold my hand at the mall...but I miss pushing you in your stroller
I love that you come downstairs from Children's Church all on your own...but I miss you sleeping on my shoulder during service
I love that I don't have to carry a diaper bag anymore...but I sure miss feeding you your bottle
I love that you have awesome style and can pick out and dress yourself (and even your brother)....but I sure miss putting onsies and tiny outfits on you
I love you so much sweet Gracie! I am honored and so very blessed to be your Mommy!
Happy 7th Birthday baby!
Happy 7th Birthday baby!
