Happy Birthday to....

Phoebe
7 years ago, this tiny babe was born. What a blessing and wonderful gift from God.

Phoebe was our 4th pregnancy, 1st live baby. To actually hold her in my arms, was amazing. God performed a wonderful miracle, knitting her in my womb.

She was a very good baby. Sleeping through the night by 2 months, poop trained by 16 months, potty trained by 2 years, and took her first steps at 18 months. She didn't crawl, just scooted around a little. Yup, she was easy. I just put some toys and books in front of her and she was set. (then we had our 2nd child, hoo-ee, quite the opposite child)

Age 1

Age 2

Age 3

Age 4
Age 5

Age 6
I've been saddened by her hair losing it's curls over the years.




But, she's still a beautiful girl.
We love you Phoebe Jean. You are a great daughter to us, and a caring big sister to Abigail. Stay funny, and smart, and sweet. And walk with the Lord daily. Enjoy your 7th year. Happy Birthday beautiful.

Now...sing it 7 year old!

And she didn't walk til 18 months seriously? You had it made, Mama! Mine took their first steps BEFORE they turned 9 months. They ran me ragged! They were too little to know better than to walk right into whatever. Uggggh! =0)
