Today this little young lady makes the leap from 8 to 9. A few days ago, she exercised her growing independence by having 8 inches of hair cut off and donated to Locks of Love. I was so proud, yet so sad. I feared that the hair cut would make her look more grown-up. I feared she would lose some of her sweet innocence. I feared I would lose my baby girl.Well, she does look more grown-up, and more beautiful. She did NOT, however, lose any of her sweetness nor her innocence. And I can't say that I've lost my baby girl, but I am gaining a wonderful, loving, precious, lovely young lady, that I call daughter, who once upon a time (ok, not that long ago) was my baby girl. Honestly, she'll always be my baby girl, who am I kidding?!
Happy birthday, Lem, my sweet. May God always keep you precious in His sights. I know I will.

Happy Birthday Emma! Love, Isabelle
Oh my gosh, she is sickeningly gorgeous. Inside and out, apparently! You must be so proud of your beautiful, big girl. I secretly hope her hair grows back fast though, it will keep her looking little for you for a little while longer because her haircut does age her a little. I always press on the little ones top's of their heads (kids of my friends) and tell them "STOP IT, JUST STOP GROWING!" and they giggle but I really mean it! It's an overused statement but I wish I could freeze time and keep them innocent and young sometimes, it just goes too quickly!
