I can't believe my baby is an official teenager! I was surprised by all the feelings I had as I prepared for her birthday this year. While she is growing into an amazing young lady, I couldn't help feel sad at the passing of time. Literally, where is the time going?! As the oldest, Taylor has had to patient with us as we've learned how to be parents through trial and error. She has been an easy, steady, constant child. She is so helpful, so nurturing and patient, a natural athlete, and has a very quirky sense of humor. She has been an wonderful blessing in our lives and I feel so lucky to be her mom. She has taught me so much.
Taylor has been shamelessly BEGGING for an iPod Touch for years now. And we told her "no" with equal conviction. So, imagine her surprise when she opened one for her birthday! We had wrapped it within several different size boxes, so she had to keep unwrapping until she finally got down to the iPod. This was her honest-to-goodness reaction and I am so happy to have caught it on camera. This is the most emotion you'll ever see from Taylor, so we had to make sure it was well documented.
