Happy 4th Birthday!

Today is officially Padyn's 4th birthday. Out she came 4 years ago at 2:22am...all 7 pounds and 2 ounces of her, three weeks early. And as I seem to have started my own tradition of posting past birthday pictures of Miss P on the day of her birth, here's a recap of the last 4 birthdays, and one for today.

early girl-Padyn Irene was ready to enter the world a bit before mommy and daddy were expecting to receive her.one year old-I think she ate more cake when she was one than she has on any birthday since.two years old-This was her birthday morning, as you can tell from the pjs and the hair. She is opening her first present of the day...her Olivia book. It's still a favorite.three years old-Cake and fairy wings. She was pretty excited to be celebrating her birthday last year.four years old today-Hamming it up for the camera. She wanted baby doll to be in the picture with her. Maybe it's baby doll's birthday, too.Happy Birthday, Padyn baby. You've brought more joy to our lives than you'll ever know.
