Four

Our 'baby' turned 4 yesterday! Like I've said before and on every one of my daughters birthdays...I can't believe it...they are growing so fast! It's hard to fathom that 4 years ago this morning we were cuddling our little ninja! Taylor was just 17 months and truly thought this baby that had come home wasn't here to stay....she surely thought that she was the only baby in our house.

Kira was dubbed a ninja before she was even born - she was, as we called it trying to 'ninja' her way out of the womb at only 26 weeks. I was hospitalized and put on strict bed rest until I was 35 weeks pregnant and she came into this world only 3 weeks early at 37 weeks. I often think how different our circumstances could have been if she would have come so early in my pregnancy...she was a fighter and hung on as long as she could.

Ever since her first attempt at being a ninja, she has not let us down...she has been showing us her ninja skills daily over the last 4 years...to say the least, she makes us laugh every day! She is the most affectionate child I know, and she is an old soul with the most amazingly sweet little heart.

Here is how she has grown over the last 4 years:
