Happy Birthday, Baby


My baby is having a birthday today. She isn't a newborn anymore looking at me with bright wondering eyes. She isn't a toddler of 11 months spilling the garbage can and pulling out old spaghetti noodles to decorate her head. She isn't the 13 year old feisty, boy-crazed middle schooler, or even the 17 year old high school tennis champion. Today she is 21. A full-fledged adult taking charge of her own life, growing into a beautiful woman inside and out. How did that happen so quickly?
No matter, she will ALWAYS be my baby and hold that particular spot in my heart. Happy Birthday, baby.
