Happy 9th B-day Danielle

Today is Danielle Erica's 9th birthday. Your second born is alot different than your first born. Everything is new w/ the 1st, but then you make your own routine & you become a semi-pro. Then comes the 2nd baby & it's hard! It's really hard b/c you have this little (almost)3 yr old who wants all of your attention & suddenly boom! You have this little newborn baby who needs you 24/7 so it's hard, but then you adjust & life becomes normal again. Then your 1st & 2nd become bestest friends (& enemies)and you can't imagine life being any different. Now it's just the norm around here. Now when #3 comes along it's like old-hat, you could probably handle triplets by this time....or maybe not:) The biggest adjustment is going from 1to 2, but the rest is easy....Now all of a sudden I have this little girl who's quickly becoming a little lady it seems...the last year before she turns double digits. My oh my where has the time gone? I just don't know. When you're pregnant you think when in the hell will I ever have this kid, now she's freakin 9! Now I don't know what I'd do without her & her big sister because they are so much help around here w/ little sis Olivia Jean. I have 2 built-in sitters:) Danielle is unique in that she always has a story to tell, can drop crocodile tears at a moment's notice, gets jealous very fast, loves to hug & kiss you, loves to dance, loves Barbies & Littlest Pet Shops and she can't match up an outfit to save her life--LOL! Anyway, happy birthday little Dobbi~~so glad you came along and we thank God everyday that he gave you to us.

The above pic is everyone including big sis Kayla meeting Danielle for the very first time:)


This pic above is us just getting home w/ Danielle & of course Kayla had to feed her the first bottle. Cracks me up how the little ones always hold back baby's foreheads when they're feeding them bottles:))
