Happy Birthday to my big girl Bird!
I'd like to show you a picture of her on her birthday, looking so big and cute. But I can't. She broke my camera last week. My expensive-takes amazing pictures-love almost as much as I love my children camera. I haven't forgiven her yet, but I'm close. After all, it is just a camera, and she is my very special Bird (ok, maybe I have forgiven her, but I'm still sad about it).
So while I can't show you birthday pictures I can show you a few shots I got when we were swimming with The Greatest's Grandmother last week, before Bird broke my camera.
And photobucket is being a brat, so you're gonna have to turn your head to one side to see them properly. Grumble, grumble, grumble, stupid photobucket, grumble.
There are so many things to love about Bird. I love all my children, but as any parent knows you love them in different ways for different reasons. Here are just a few things I love about Bird
She's so funny, just naturally bubbling with giggles. She's joy personified.
She's my dreamer, we often say she floats through the house in her own little world.
She's got the biggest imagination I've ever seen. She's rarely a little girl, she's always a puppy, or a baby, or a walrus, or a baby walrus. She loves to pretend.
She's got an amazing ability to wrap people around her tiny finger. It's funny to watch The Greatests friends, these hardened Law Officers, fall all over themselves to do something Bird has asked them to do. She's the only person I have ever met who can successfully bat their eyes. I must teach her to use this power for good.
She loves everyone, and everything. Her world is truly full of sunshine and rainbows and soft puppies, and all things that are good.
I'm so proud of the little girl she has grown into, this tiny princess of mine. She is smart, and funny, and brave. She can be shy, overwhelmed, and quick to tears. There is so much she is going to learn in this world, and so much she is going to bring to this world. I'm grateful everyday that I get to be a part of it.
Happy Birthday Bird!

Happy birthday, Bird! What a darling girl. I love your description of her.
Happy happy birthday to sweet Birdie.
You brought tears to my eyes when you wrote about all the things she will bring to this world. It's truly a better place because she is in it.
