Just my Baby
All my life I wanted a daughter. Since I was a little girl I practiced and rocked and cuddled my babies and dreamt of a baby girl of my own one day.
On August 20th 1999 you came into my life. I was SO happy and excited to finally have my baby girl. “Pink things-Ruffly things” were one of the first things that were mentioned at the moment you were born.
You have been my girly girl. You love pink and all the girly frilly things that the world has to offer. You have done tap and ballet and wore the most adorable tutu in the universe.. You have been shy and sweet and you have also been a brave girl. No fear. You LOVE anything fast and wild. You spent most of the day at Bay Beach on the swings that would throw you high in the air and make my stomach ache as you squealed with glee.
Make no bones about it. Your tuff. You rarely let your big brother push you around. You do however know when to bring on the tears when he wont give in to your demands.
You have your oldest brother wrapped around your little finger. He melts when you call him “travie” and will do anything for you.
You have discovered swimming over the past two years and LOVE it. You are an awesome swimmer and spend hours in the pool. You also did Dance and Cheer team this year and loved that as well. You picked up the dance quickly and were often seen going through it at any given moment of the day.
I watch you grow and I am loving every minute of it. You are a lot like me and that terrifies me. People even call you mini Dawn due to the fact that you look at lot like me. We even share the love of anything to do with kitties. (some things you just never grow out of)
Happy 7th Birthday my dear Carly. I have waited a long time for you. I love you. You are the most beautiful and wonderful little girl a mother could ever pray for.
