Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Taylor is 22 years old today!  It’s hard to believe that there was a time when we were told she would never see toddlerhood let alone her twenties.  Of course, she is a 22 year old “toddler” so I guess it all evens out. *laughs*

I see each birthday now as a gift.  I feel so blessed to see her smiling face each & every morning.  Well, the mornings when she decides to stay up until 3am while making 5,000 trips to the bathroom are ones when I’d prefer to see that smile a little later than 7am.

So, what do you get a girl who has everything she wants?  You give her the things she considers to be the best stuff on the planet.

1 car magazine – $6.00

1 caffeine free diet coke – $1.69

2 packages of Gummi Worms – $3.00

3 Mylar Spongebob balloons – $10.00

1 huge grin & a drool enhanced hug & kiss =

                                             PRICELESS!!!

 

Happy 21st Birthday Taylor Marie!!!

Taylor helping decorate her cake @ preschool for her 3rd birthday.

Wow!!!  It’s hard to believe my baby is 21 years old.  While she doesn’t act 21, I’m amazed at how far she has come.

She exceeded the doctors’ expectation of how long she would be here.  How many times were we told she wouldn’t live past a year old?  How many times were we told that this “event” is probably the end?

She doesn’t know she isn’t supposed to be here.  She’s stubborn.  While that stubbornness can be difficult when dealing with a 6ft. tall toddler…that same stubbornness has made her determined to live her life to the fullest.

So keep on being stubbornness Taylor!!!  We love you like crazy and Mommy needs you to hang around!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS TAYLOR!!!
