Happy 4th Birthday to my little Brooklyn!

My dearest little Brooklyn how I love you so much!  I hope you can try to slow down the race to be big. Enjoy the creativity of your imagination, and soak in all the joys of being a little girl! You are my baby girl and I want to cherish all the littleness that you are.  4 years old I feel is the year you say goodbye to so much of being my baby, but in my heart you'll be my baby girl forever!

 

My photographer buddy and sister in law Kelsey Claire Photography comes along with me on these shoots to be sure to snap a few of  me and them alone, and remember the special time doing these mommy shoots.

 As we started to play together, I got to see the joy in her eyes to have me to herself, and see her feel of my love. Since the addition of little brother, it has been a very difficult adjustment for this little middle child, and she has struggled to find her place and find reassurance that although things have changed.... My love for her will never change.

 As I held her close, my heart ached , questioning if  I am giving you enough.... do you feel or see the love I have for you,  do you know that you are not invisible to me, although you often feel you are?  

 I pray for her strength to get through this adjustment and trust that my love as her constant, she will prevail, and she will overcome the weight of trying to find her place once again.  You are my little Brooklyn, you are my silly comedian, you are the one that stretches my capacity making me stronger, you are the only one that gives me those spontaneous extra tight hugs that choke me, and you my sweet are the perfect center of my home.  I love you Brooklyn! xxoo Love Mommy

Happy 4th Birthday Brooklyn!!
