Happy Birthday, Girl

So today is Shaylin's 4th birthday. 4 years of raising a girl.... 14 more to go. Well, I guess really it will be longer than that but putting it that way makes me feel like the chances of going completely nuts seem a little less likely.
Who am I kidding... I'm obviously already half way to the nut house.
Lately Shaylin has been completely obsessed with all the ridiculously girly stuff. I used to think that she wouldn't ever be a girly girl because she was always so dirty. I mean, any little girl who enjoys getting food in their hair, spitting, and biting their toe nails just doesn't strike me as the princess kind. However, she has managed to somehow pull it all off. She loves getting her nails painted even though shortly after she begins the process of biting all the nail polish off.... then begging me to re-paint them the next day. She's a mess... perhaps the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree after all.
I was going through some of her baby pictures to reminisce..... so here's some to share:

I love them :)

Happy 4th Birthday Ms. Shaylin
