Look How She's Grown

I was looking through my pictures when I ran into Kaitlyn's baby pictures. I was amazed at how much she has grown in four years. It made my heart ache. She was so cute and still is super cute. I can't believe how the time has flown. I wanted to share just a few memories from the last few years.


Here she is the day she is born. She was such a chunk. 9lbs 6ozs, and 20 inches long.


I think she is only a few days old in this picture and she is already posing. I loved that cute little outfit on her. I think I wore it out.


Isn't she a doll. After her colic passed. She was such a good little baby. She wasn't much of a cuddlier but always so happy.


She loved her toes. Always playing with them or sucking on them.


Skyler was looking at pictures with me and when I got to this picture he says, "Look mom! It's Aaron." No this is not Aaron. Aaron and Kaitlyn just look a lot a like. Kaitlyn is ten months old in this picture. Such a cute little girl. About this time people complimented me on how cute my little boy was, even when she was wearing a colorful dress or had clips in her hair. Now people tell me what a cute little girl when I am caring my little Aaron around. It can be a little frustrating at times.


She did not like it when I did her hair. She always managed to rip it out right after I put it up.


Kaitlyn is 20 months in this picture. Out of all they took this was one of very few that turned out. I was lucky that she kept her hair in long enough for them to take her pictures.


She is almost three in this picture. So cute! She would only wear dresses. Now at least I can convincer her to wear pants every now and then.


This was one of the very few times she let me do her hair. I believe she is 3 years old in this picture.


This is my 4 year old. She asks me to do her hair almost everyday even if it doesn't stay in all day. Now she begs me to take pictures of her. I can't believe she is 4. She is so independent now that it amazes me how much they learn in just four years. I have feared that the hardships we have gone through the last two years would cause us not to be close but she still wants me around and she is always telling me she loves me. So I know my Father in Heaven has made sure that even how bad it got or gets, Kaitlyn forgives so easily sand still wants me to be a part of her life. She is such a joy in our family.
