She's SIX!!



So, okay, I may be a little late with this post... seeing that her birthday was August 9th. But, it's been hard to get myself to get on the computer to do this. The meaning is still the same.

Anyway, since before this little princess-cowgirl was born, she has had a mind of her own. She kept trying to come out early (thus bedrest for Momma). I then had to go in every couple of days to have stress tests done on her, she would literally run away from the monitors so the nurse had to stand by me and constantly shift the them around so they could try to keep up with her vitals.

She was born four weeks early, and she came out at 7lbs 11 oz (HUGE for a preemie) and screaming red.

Since then, Piper has done exactly what she wants to do. She has created more "artwork" on my walls than her brother and sister combined, goes through more clothes in one day than normal children go through in a week, and redoes her hair how she wants it right after I finish it.

Pipes also makes Orrin and I the sweetest, most wonderful notes and pictures, she loves her little brother with all her heart (even though he has a tendency of using her as a chew toy), and is always the first one to help me when it's cleaning time.

She is the crowned queen of hide-and-seek in our family, the first one to love someone better when they are hurt or upset, and always wakes up with a grin.

She throws her heart and soul into everything she does, whether it is making her artwork, cleaning her room, giving a hug, learning how to use the Skip-It just as good as Adi, or simply throwing a ginormous fit.

Piper is just plain Piper.

Her name fits her to a tee.

We call Pippy our own little sunshine because when this little girl is happy, she can make everyone around her smile and laugh. Her smile is infectious and she just radiates bliss.

And I love this little girl more than I could possibly ever explain, and am so eager to watch her transform into the great woman I know she will be someday.

I just hope she doesn't grow-up too quickly!
