Happy Birthday, my ladybug!
My sweet Ladybug,
Well, you already know that you are my mostest favoritest neice ever! And I’d probably say that even if ya wasn’t my only one (blood related, anyway – we all know how your Auntie likes to adopt kiddos!) and even though your momma refused to have you on my birthday too. ONe day late! So close, yet oh, so far. I’ll never let your momma forget it either – though you know you’re one of the brightest loves of my life, and you know I love to spoil you rotten!
When your momma told me that you were on the way, I knew in my heart of hearts you were a girl. I rubbed your momma’s belly, and we giggled and talked to each other and I called you my Ladybug from day one. Momma wouldn’t find out for sure, but oh! I knew you were you!
When momma said that at LAST it was finally time – I raced to the hospital, as excited as everyone else. Momma was laboring fast and you were in such a hurry to get here! (I think you knew you were 24 hours late for a very important date!) You are still, to this day, the only baby I’ve gotten to see be born via ‘the normal way’ and most likely always will be. I was there as you took your first breath, and heard the exhaultant cries of “ITS A GIRL!” and was there to blubber and cry and laugh with your momma. One of my favorite pictures of us (that I don’t have handy at the moment) is as I leaned in close and held your wee little hand as you nursed with momma for the first time. You were so very beautiful – and I can say with absolute certainty that you only grow MORE beautiful each and every day!
I love to pick you up from school and sneak away to ‘donalds’ for some ‘chicky nuggies’ and fries! I love how you light up when I walk in the room, and how my heart near explodes everytime you smile at me! You are so very special, my lovely Ladybug, and I only hope that we are able to impart to you just how much you mean to us as you continue to grow.
I can hardly believe you’ve been with us already for 5 wonderful years! It’s an instant, and yet you’ve grown up so very much and surprise us every day with how smart you are!
I love you babygirl! Happy birthday!
All my love,
Auntie

Some pictures from the dual birthday party tonight for the Ladybug and Buglet:
And yes! I got him his first MP123Player. Hee. It has COOKIE MONSTER and ELMO songs! That he can play OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Just look how excited momma was!
IT matched Gramma’s gift of a cookie/elmo guitar PERFECTLY. hahahahaha!
