Hannah B,
Wow, where to begin with a beautiful daughter who has brought us so much more joy than we could have ever imagined! As you and I were looking though old pictures today, it really hit me that you have gone from a baby to seven years old so fast. We looked at pictures of you with all of your pretty dresses, bows, tutus, pony tails, glitter, and sass. While I miss those days, I realize that they are not gone, but now just a seven year old version. You pick your clothes, your hairstyle, your favorite colors and what you will try.
You are turning into such a strong, independent little girl and that is what your dad and I really want for you. You surprise us every day with the decisions you make. You are bold and brave and so full of life. You are very caring and do not like to see anyone (especially Max) upset. You will do whatever it takes to make him laugh. The thing that I love most about you is that you are so nurturing and that you love to be a mom to your dolls and to Max. You often talk about being a mom someday and I can picture how much love you will have for your own children.
You still dance and over the summer tried softball. I recently asked you if you wanted to sign up for softball again and you said "not if they are going to throw the ball at me." I guess softball is out! You remind me often that you are not "sporty".
You love school and always try your hardest. You are a good friend to everyone and spend a lot of time at the table in your room doing art projects.
You are everything I imagined having a daughter would be but so much more. There are so many dreams I have for you and so many special times I can't wait to experience with you. We hope you will always remember what is important and continue to love your brothers as much as they adore you.
You are so loved!
Happy 7th Birthday!
