My baby is 6 years old!

My baby girl turned 6 on sunday and it's been a very strange thing to look back at how much she has changed.

When she was a baby the poor girl cried and cried and cried (or maybe I should say "screamed"). And now she's this quiet little well-mannered little girl with so much love in her heart. I thought I'd take a page from Keri and make a list of 6 things you may not know about Kelly:


1. She's the best big sister in the world -- From day one she has tried very hard to be so nice to her little sister. Rarely do they fight and Kelly is quick to forgive her when they do. Isabelle is a lucky girl.

2. She's an artist through and through. She could do artwork all day long if you let her. She's also very emotional about her artwork. Take for instance the picture of the pumpkins. After she finished painting them, she set them outside for the whole world to see. The next day we found the small mouse one with its face chewed off by ravenous squirrels. She cried and cried for 2 days.

3. She's an insomniac just like her mommy and can't take naps just like her daddy.

4. She loves church -- She loves anything that has to do with the gospel. She always wants to listen to her scripture scouts CD's (they tell scripture stories) and listen to children's hymns. She looks forward to Primary every sunday and gets very upset if she's sick and has to miss.

5. She's working really hard to overcome her fear of food. Ever since Kelly was a baby she has had a fear of food. We are not sure where it comes from, but it's been like that her whole life. These past several months she has told me she really wants to change and eat new foods, and so she's trying very very hard to overcome. She's so mature for her age.

6. Her smile melts my heart every time.

Happy Birthday Kelly!
