Oh, My Bean!

My sweet, sweet, Bean! Happy Birthday to my firstborn....the one who will for the rest of my life be the one who entered me into mommy-hood. This "club" of being a mom is one that I never knew how badly I wanted to join. Thank you for being my baby. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for being a wonderful sister. Thank you for always thinking of others. Thank you for your smile. Thank you for every minute of the last five years! It is such a gift to watch you grow. This birthday means you are no longer a toddler, but my girl...growing bigger and stronger every day. We love you to pieces and you are a ray of sunshine in our lives and hearts!

Now for the boring stuff...Annah's is (finally) growing! At her 5 year check-up she weighs in at a whopping 33 lbs. Putting her in the 10th %ile...this is actually an improvement as she has been in the 3rd %ile since she was a few weeks old. She is 41.5 inches tall (sadly too tall now for the free baby cones at Brewster's), which I think was the 15th %ile. She is also 1 billion times bigger in our hearts than she was just 5 years ago!
