Happy 5th Birthday Sophia

It feels like just yesterday I was holding the tiniest baby in my arms. Sophia Belle LaFleur was born May 22nd 2007 weighing in at a whopping 6 pounds 4 ounces. Not bad for being overdue and trying to come early at 30 weeks. Over the last five years we have had more adventures with Sophia than I can count. Every small milestone from learning to walk, learning to talk, starting dance, starting gymnastics, being in the swimming pool, our first trip to Disney World and the list goes on. I cherish each and every day of being a mom. Sophia has been one of the greatest gifts to me. Now she is our big girl. Doing dance and gymnastics, almost ready for Kindergarten, constantly singing songs and performing, as well as putting together some pretty tough Legos. I will continue to look at each and every day as a new start and a new chance to make memories with my baby girl. Happy Birthday Princess! We love you!

Sophia's 5th Birthday

Graduation Day

I can hardly believe that in just a couple of short weeks Sophia will be graduating from Pre-Kindergarten and enter Kindergarten in the fall. She has had such an amazing school year at Stepping Stones. She just absolutely adores her teacher Ms. Sarah. She looks forward to all of the learning and fun each day. I have noticed a change in her recently. She's not my baby anymore. She's officially a big girl! On top of that she will turn five later this month. It is hard to believe that five years ago she was just this tiny little thing. She has grown into such a lovely little lady. The actual graduation is on June 5th. I can hardly wait to tear up seeing her in her little cap and gown. Here's a preview of the big day.
