willow raine

willow, you're such an amazing little girl. i can't believe how big you've gotten already. you and your bubba and sissy mean the world to me and i'd do anything for you guys. i remember holding you for the very first time. i told nana to call when you were coming over, because i wanted to be the first kid (out of me, michael and rachell) to hold you because i was so excited about you. i got to sneak over a good hour before them, and i definitely got my cuddle/kissy time. i still remember changing your diapers, and my nostrils are still shot from all the toxic poop you did, but don't worry, i still love you :) your sissy gave me the drooliest kisses when she was a baby, your bubba projectile vomited on me when he was a baby, and you gave me your stinky diapers. i'd go through all of that again for you guys, and i really didn't mind it because i got to be with you guys. i wanted you to be able to come across this when you're older, and realize just how much i love you, even though i tell you that i love you all the time, and i don't even mind it when you say "yeah, whatever, you told me a million times already". i love your spunky personality, i love how you say you're over justin bieber when it's clear you're still crushing on him, i love that you tell me things you think i don't know already with such fascination. to be honest, i really don't know what you tell me beforehand, i just pretend i do :) like that really, really long word that you say. you can't say 'humuhumunukunukuapua'a' but you can say 'sdlkajfklahfohasgjaslkdfjashdfoahsgoawhjeaiofjskldfhsdoghuawlskjkldhfauiweuocjsldgha' or something that sounds like it. it starts with a t. you said it so fast i couldn't understand you. i love how when you're losing an argument with me and you stop and say "okay, just... just stop, lets just talk about something else". you know what's sad? you're actually mature enough to end the argument. i don't know any other 6 year old as mature as you. i can't express how much i love you in words, and i hope that you know, even when i make you mad or yell at you, i still love you with all my heart and soul. i'll be here for you whenever you need me, and you can totally talk to me about anything, no matter how complicated or embarrassing it is. just promise me that i get to question your boyfriends before you get involved with them, because if they hurt you, i promise you that after mommy and daddy kick his butt, i'll be the next in line to finish the little pervert off. and remember. all boys are icky, yucky and have cooties. except justin bieber :) i love you so much and nothing will ever change that. here's a little timeline of some pictures from when you were a baby, all the way up to our most recent photoshoot :) i have a picture of me and you when you were first born, but i can't find it anywhere! so, i hope these pictures do their justice to show just how beautiful and amazing you are.
