Happy Birthday Punkin'

I can't believe my baby is FOUR years old! Really? I swore I'd never be one of "those parents" that babied their baby. Never say never. She is my baby. I find myself still nibbling her cheeks and squeezing her little bottom all while gritting my teeth saying, "Ohhh you're so cute!"
Okay, so this is not about me and how I hate seeing my baby grow....this is about JENNA and how much she adds to our family. As much as I hate seeing her get bigger, I equally love seeing her play and interact with her brothers and sister. It's been wonderful seeing the age gap close. She can hold her own...all the while using her "baby" status to her advantage. She loves her "waffles plain" for breakfast and noodles (Ramen and Alfredo are her favs) for lunch. Would you believe she also loves salad...with hard boiled eggs, feta cheese and basalmic dressing? She is mommy's little shadow especially when it comes to baking and gardening. After working in the yard with me tonight, she said, "I need a freshie!" Uh oh. lol Puzzles, I Spy, coloring/painting, movies and games are some of her favorite things to keep her busy. She loves to sing and is often caught singing along to tv and movie themes. We cannot drive by the temple without singing "I Love to See the Temple" and I really love that. She also loves singing her address and phone number. I love that she gives me tight hugs...really, she knows how to give good squeezes back. I also love that she understands our secret three-hand-squeezes for I love you. I especially love it when she tells me, "we best friends" and "I need to hug you." I've almost reached my quota for the use of the word love, but not before I say how much we LOVE Jenna!!!
