Okay, I need to come to terms...my baby is 13 today. A t....A tee....A. Give me a minute...a teenager.
That hurt.
She's my first born but she'll always be my baby. So will the others, just for future reference.
So, to celebrate her 13th, in true crazed mom fashion...here are 13 things I love about her.
1. She was a sweet surprise. We had planned to wait for three years to have a baby but God stepped in.
2. Her Gran, my mom, died when she was 5 1/2 months old. We know she was a gift so that my mom could be a grandmother.That hurt.

She seems lie a great young lady. You guys must be doing something right.
That was such a beautiful tribute! My oldest turned 13 last month. I am so with you...so hard to believe I'm the mother of a teenager!
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday McKinley! Welcome to the wild teenage years. You are only allowed to be as wild as your Mom and Dad were when they were teenagers. By the way, I remember you when you looked like you did in the first picture and your Mom and Dad took you for stroller rides every evening. I love the picture of you and Mom. Have a fantastic day! My baby turns 9 already this Thursday.
Don't they grow up so quickly? I'm sure you're so proud of her. My bro & sis-in-law had my nephew 2 weeks before their 1st anniversary - definitely not in their plan, but in God's plan as my SIL's mother died 3 months after my nephew was born.
