Happy Birthday Kiley Jean

November 3, 2013

Oh my sweet baby girl… I can not even begin to give you enough birthday wishes to equal the amount of love I have for you.  You.  Are.  Amazing.  And I’m not just saying that because I’m your mom.

I have loved the last year with you.  3 has been nothing short of fantastic.  I have loved watching you grow.  Loved watching you learn.  Loved watching you become such an incredible little person.

I love how you are always ready for adventure… whether it be a routine trip to Target, or a cross country flight to the west coast.  I love how you love your brother.  I love how you want to share your special lunch treats with all your friends… even when you only have a few of them left.  I have absolutely loved watching you play soccer this season.  You play with your whole heart and it is amazing to watch.

I am grateful every single day that you are a part of our family.  You make us complete in a way that I never even knew was missing.  You are the last piece of the beautiful, crazy, amazing puzzle that is our family.  You are compassionate and caring and you have a heart of gold.  You can make friends with anyone and you play well with everyone.  You stand up for injustice and speak out for what is right.  I have treasured every moment of 3.

It really is hard to believe you are 4.  You are growing up so fast I feel like only yesterday you were a tiny baby who needed me for everything.  Now you are so independent and mature.  I love you so much Kiley.  I hope you always know that.
