Where did the time go baby girl?
You are now just days from being sixteen, but it feels like just moments ago when I photographed this smile. You were born a sprite and as I watch you grow into a beautiful young woman, I still love that you've kept your impish grin.
I remember seeing that smile when you were one, having found you precariously perched on the kitchen counter. You had helped yourself to a spoonful of peanut butter and were very proud. You knew what you wanted and went for it. As much as I couldn't admit it that day, it's a quality I always want you to keep.
I'm getting very nostalgic as your birthday approaches, remembering the days before you were born like they were yesterday. One thing I want you to know, is that while I truly and deeply loved you even before I saw you... I never could have known how that love would grow beyond measure... Beyond the moon, beyond the stars and back.
