This year she turned 9. NINE!
Some of you may remember how Yippie-Skippie came into this world. Early, but healthy and ready to help her family with her love, warmth and humor. She was a great baby, and an eager playmate to her sisters. She talked late, and that gave her family the opportunity to learn some sign language, and she blossomed with the increase communication abilities.
All that time in her own head before she could communicate well allowed her to develop one of her greatest gifts: her great imagination and observation skills. Yippie-Skippie sees things differently than most people. Her observations are unique, and she marches to this uniqueness enthusiastically. Although self conscious in a group, those who know her well are delighted to have her as a friend.
NINE! Wow. But watching her turn into such a great gal helps take the sting off the turning of the years. We are blessd to have her in our family!

Where did the past 9 years go?! If my memory serves me well we had just met before she was born. I think I had the older two at my house when you went to the doctor and found out she was to be delivered soon. Ahh, the memories. When are we going to live by each other again? I miss those days.
We agree that she is a great friend. :)
Cute pics! Happy 9!
