Happy Birthday to my sweet first-born ladybug ... the beautiful baby who changed my life when she made me a mother twelve years ago today. How we doted and fussed over those 8+ pounds of perfection!

Just look at that angelic face! Kind and compassionate, sensitive and emotional, this girl would cry her own tears for anyone she sees wronged. When she was 6, she cut 10 inches of hair for Locks of Love and felt so great about it that she did it all over again 2+ years later. Ever the idealist, her heart will break over anything from watching a fisherman haul in his daily catch (those poor fish!) to seeing a stranger injured at the playground. A true daydreamer ... so pure of heart ... our first-born ladybug ... the sugar to her little sister's spice ...

It's still hard to believe she'll be a middle schooler when she starts 6th grade in the Fall, but she has all the right tools to take it on, and we're so proud of the young lady she is becoming! So ... Happy Birthday to you, my sweet ladybug - thank you for all that you give me - you can't even begin to imagine how much your mom loves you!

She's beautiful! Isn't it crazy how fast the years go? Happy 12th Birthday to your sweet girl! I feel the same way about not believing my oldest will be starting middle school! It's just not right! They are supposed to be in elementary still! lol
Happy Birthday to the eldest little bug!

Isn't it crazy how much we thought we loved them when they were born....but we really had no idea how huge and great that love would become.

Look at her! What a cutie:). That baby photo is one of those that makes me want to reach in my computer screen and smootch some cheeks!! Super sweet. She started out adorable and has not changed her pace in growing into a beautiful big girl. Enjoy the upcoming year. My 12 year old has changed SO MUCH over the last year. 6th grade really is quite a transition. I'm sure you both with handle is perfectly. Again, she is so beautiful! Happy Birthday to her and great job to you:).
