My baby girl is five. A whole hand. A golden birthday. And I can hardly believe it.
My mamma heart feels so full, yet so achingly tender at the same time.
It seems like just yesterday I was holding her tiny body in my arms, wondering who she would become.
And now, here she is; bright, curious, funny, and full of life, already showing glimpses of the incredible person she’s growing into.
Five feels big.
It feels like the start of school days, new adventures, and milestones that will keep reminding me just how quickly time flies.
It makes me a little sad to see the years slipping by so fast,
but even more than that,
I feel gratitude.
Gratitude for every giggle, every cuddle, every late-night “one more story.”
I cannot wait to see what she accomplishes in this world.
She has such a light, and I know it’s going to shine so brightly wherever life takes her.
Happy golden birthday, my sweet girl.
You make me the luckiest mama in the world.
