Austin is 4!

It is hard to believe that our little girl is 4 years old.

This past year her has brought many changes in her life and personality.

We are seeing more of her “sassy,” fiercely determined and I-know-what-I-want person come out, which can be a big challenge for me at times.  The flip side is that she isn’t afraid of her own voice and that she persists and persists, learning and conquering new tasks.

Some things never change, though.  She still loves nurturing and loving on babies and animals.

She still loves fashion and putting together her outfits every morning.  Thanks to Heath/Lisa for her new favorite tutu and polka dot shoes.

Still lots of smilea and love, dancing and passion.  Now just a little more emotion added into the mix too:)

And a love for anything princess-like.  She beamed ear-to-ear during her last haircut.  Oh my, oh my!

Happy birthday to our once Birdie, now preferring to be called Princess Belle:)
