Six Years. Gone.

How did that happen? One minute, I had a tiny little girl, and the next, a budding tween! My Hannah-belle is 6 years old today! I think I'm in a state of shock.

Here's a look through the past six years...

She was an adorable newborn, with a big sister who wasn't quite sure about her.

She had attitude from the day she was born!She got bigger, and into lots of things.

She took pictures in the bluebonnets with Megan, like all Texas kids do at some point.

She hung out with a purple monkey.She played ballerina with Megan.She looked beautiful in the Iowa sunshine!She had Pantene commercial-worthy hair (and loved on Owen).

She was all smiles when she turned 4.

She indulged mom in an in-house "photo shoot".She was a sassy 5-year-old.She modeled some accessories from India.

She rang in the new year in style!

...and she became even sweeter and more beautiful that before!

WE LOVE YOU, HANNAH JOY! We are so proud of the sweet young lady that you're turning out to be!
