 FIVE

TODAY!!!!!

Delaney Catherine,

You were born in my heart long before 1:39 a.m. on March 25, 2010.  You are growing into such a sweet and kind hearted little girl. It's hard to believe you aren't my toddler anymore.  Just this week, you were "accepted" into Kindergarten and that blows my mind!  When I just finished typing that sentence, you told me we are besties and we do everything together!  If only that could always be true! But we know those teenage years are ahead!  I don't know how old you will be when you read this but at 5 years old these are the things you like:

Hello Kitty

All things Frozen because you just can't "Let it Go"

HGTV (which cracks me up)

You are currently sitting next to me watching 19 Kids and Counting

You keep telling me you want a sister (which is never going to happen!)

Your meals are still limited to mac n cheese, butter noodles, french fries and chicken fingers (but you've started to like pepperoni pizza--just like your daddy!)

You love being outside

You love talking about and being around your famileeee (as you say it)

You love singing and can turn anything into a song and you are still singing Christmas songs

You LOVE LOVE LOVE going to school and your teachers love you so much

You speak Spanish to me and sometimes I have no clue what you're saying

You are still sucking your thumb like an infant and I'm not sure what we're going to do about that!

You have a very unhealthy competitive streak in you (you think EVERYTHING is a competition)

Your personality is beyond what I could have ever dreamed! You love to entertain and make people laugh

The two biggest things people always comment on is how you are always smiling and your incredibly insane vocabulary! It blows our minds! I don't even know where you learn such big words.

You are 100% just like your daddy and sometimes I call you David and you do NOT like that.  You love him so much and talk about him everyday! Just today you asked me if I was a teenager before daddy was!  You also talk constantly about our dog that died when you were two! You are obsessed with talking about him.

I could go on and on but it's past your bedtime and well, my show's coming on!!! Having you is just so much fun....everything else is just icing on the cake!
