9th birthday.

Juliana is 9 years old today!  The last year before she is double digits.  Last night she was a bit teary because she wanted to stay 8 (she's a smart girl and not in a hurry to grow up).  This morning she was up at 3:00 am because she was so excited about it being her birthday. It's amazing how times flies, but I've enjoyed every minute of it (okay there was a tantrum or two that weren't so fun), but for the most part Juliana is an easy child.  She's smart, she's funny, and she's beautiful.  She has a heart of gold and would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings.  She's all that I could ask for and more then I ever dreamed in a child.  I am so very, very proud to be this little girls Mom.

Here she is the day she was born, weighing in at 9pounds 4ounces:

And here she this morning, the morning of her 9th birthday:
