At one point we thought you'd be our little Michaela Gabrielle. But we couldn't agree how to spell it...your Daddy wanted Michaela, while I preferred Mikayla...so your nickname could easily be Kayla.
But that never truly suited you, as we realized you were always meant to be our sweet Bailey Nicole.
It seems like just yesterday... that you entered the world, with your thick dark brown (complete with the tuft of hair that stuck up in the back...just like your brother's did) and sparkling blue eyes. And you made our family complete.
It seems like just yesterday...that you learned to walk. And talk. And kiss. And snuggle.
It seems like just yesterday...that your bubbling personality flourished (and the 'trying three stage' became but a distant memory)
It seems like just yesterday...that you ventured into school with an enthusiasm to meet new friends and an unrelenting zest for learning.
It seems like just yesterday...that you developed a passion for creating and designing things (at one point even declaring you wanted to be a fashion designer when you grow up).
It seems like just yesterday...that you developed a love for monkeys. A unexplainable passion you still have to this day.
I remembered all these things this past weekend, when you celebrated your 8th birthday.

My dear, sweet Bailey, you are fabulously bright, beautiful, creative and so much more than words can describe. Never forget that I adore and love you to pieces.
