the BIG 5

I am constantly telling my kids to stop growing and they just won't listen. Somehow Leland is already 5, and I don't like it. I remember when I was pregnant with her, in the hot SC heat in Aug. I was sooooo tired of being pregnant. I begged my OB to let me go early and he said the only way I could go before 39 wks is if I did an amnio, so I DID!!! My Doctor said he had never seen anyone who was so desperate to have their baby. :):) Well when they pulled her out of me I couldn't believe how cute she was, just perfect!!! I have been smitten with her ever since!!!
Look at that sweet face!!! It feels like it was yesterday I held her in my arms and now she is 5! WOW!! I love this little girl!
There are so many things I love about this girl and she has grown up so much this year. Here are my favorite things about this little princess. Her laugh, her smile, her beautiful hair. Leland is always so helpful, she is always the first one we ask when we need help around the house. She loves to play with her sisters and try's to be a peacemaker. She loves to ride her bike and just took off the training wheels, loves to dance and sing. Leland has a serious sweet tooth and loves chocolate. She also loves to watch the food network and is the best helper in the kitchen. She is going to be a domestic goddess one day for sure. I have loved being this little girl's Mommy and feel like I was sent a little angel from heaven.

I remember that summer and it was H-O-T! I actually have a picture of Jake holding Leland when you first got home from the hospital. I think she was the first new born he ever held...and now she is 5! WOW! Time flies!
