Happy 4th Birthday Lily!

Lillian Clare- you are my heart.

It is so hard to believe that my only sibling is four today.

So in honor of the big fourth birthday of my favorite person in the world, I'm going to post some pictures that I've taken over the course of your life.

Starting from when you were just a little Lily :)

You were only three days old in this picture. I was 13 almost 14 when you were born, the time where I started to become obsessed with photography. I took pictures of you all the time! And obviously in this picture you were starting to get fed up with my being in your face with a camera all the time.

You were and still are the sweetest little girl in the world, until you get fed up or annoyed with something, then you can be rather rude. Just like you are in this, where you're flipping me off :)

I took this picture of you on your first birthday. This is before your blonde hair starting coming through. We thought for the longest time she were going to be brunette! Now your hair is so blonde!! You've changed so much!

This is from when you were 15 months old, it's crazy how much you changed within the three months between your first birthday and when this was taken.

This was taken around your second birthday (if not on your second birthday)

You had full blown blonde hair by then and kissed everything in sight!

These three are from your third birthday. I can't believe that was just a year ago!

you are no doubt a princess!

And now for your very first pictures I took of you as a four year old! :)

 

   

I love you so very much, Lil! 

Do you know any other big sisters that would give you your very own personal photo shoot for your birthday?

I'm officially obsessed.

I discovered this blog the other day by the name of Kelly's Korner.(< that's a link, by the way)

OH MY GOSH.

I read almost all of the posts that she has on there I'm pretty sure (which is probably hundreds)

I don't know what it is about the thing, but I am entranced.

Her little girl Harper is so dang adorable I could just pinch her cheeks!

I love that she's from the South and has Northern readers that have to contact her every now and then and ask her what some words are that she used. Such as "fixin' to go---" and "she's a mess"

I felt like a true southerner when I went through her whole blog and knew exactly what she was talking about.

My mom referred to me as a mess when I was younger (Heck, she still does, sometimes!)

But anyways, I feel like I know her even though I have no idea who she is!

I feel like she's a part of my family and that I've known her for years or something!

Hahah, but needless to say I bookmarked the page and I've been reading the updates every night.

I love it when I go to her page and there's a new post up :) It makes me happy inside to learn about her story and her family. I also admire her for being such a Christian woman.

(and, not to mention I love her clothes and her decorating taste. Plus her child is always dressed cute as a button!) I think I've found my new role model, however weird that sounds. But oh well!

I will no doubt be keeping up with her from now on :)
