Samantha is five!

How is this even possible?! I keep asking myself as Samantha's 5th birthday is approaching. 

Just the other day, she asked me to show her videos of her being only a few minutes old, her first feeding, and the cutest little cry. {I still have them saved on my phone... probably forever ❤️} She loves watching them over and over again. 

And so do I... they bring back the memories of my becoming a mother! 

Being able to hold her for the first time, to smell her, to see her beautiful face... that moment I will never forget. 

And as years go by and she keeps getting bigger, she will always be my baby girl! 

Happy 5th Birthday, My Sweetest Girl!
Please stop growing up so fast! 😘
