Happy 5th Birthday Chandler!!!!

5 years ago today... about this time in the morning, 7:30... I was just beginning to go into labor (induced labor). Chandler wouldn't be born until a little after 6:00 pm... she was stubborn and had a massive head! :) I can't believe that it has been 5 years!! Sometimes it feels like FOREVER... in a good way :) and sometimes it feels like only yesterday.

Here are a few of my favorite photos of Chandler from 2007... not because I'm an amazing photographer (because I'm NOT), but because they really show who she is and give me a glimpse of who she is becoming... ENJOY!

She ALWAYS has a plan!
"Wait, wait wait. I've got an idea."

She is passionate about the things she loves!

She is in control of every situation and wants to make sure everyone is happy!

Ears Pierced. October 2007

She knows what she likes... and this Krystal eating competition was NOT one of them!

She's still a little girl

She likes to be silly

She wants to know the story behind EVERYTHING!

She is MY child in every sense of the word! I may be in trouble!! :)

She wants to be a "big kid"

Chandler is so excited that she is going to be 5 years old today. She has already asked (yesterday) if she can go to school starting today. I told her that she will have to wait for school to start again... I just didn't tell her that she has to wait 8 months!
