Happy Birthday Princess

It's hard for me to believe that my baby girl is four-years-old today. In her honor I put together this picture post so you can see how she's grown (Unfortunately, I am missing a lot of her two-year-old pictures from my computer.) Xylie is such a marvelous blessing. It is so fun for me to see her personality develop and add facets. She is a neat little girl....certainly a blend of sugar and spice. Enjoy the photos. Please leave a birthday greeting for Xylie if you are able as I will be sharing this post with her throughout the day.

Xylie was just 12 hours old when this picture was taken. This was right before we left the Maternity Center to go home. She weighed 6 lbs 15.75 oz and measured 19 inches long.


Three-Weeks-Old
Xylie was born with a strong sucking need. She had to have a pacifier in her mouth at all times until she was three-months-old. At that time she spat it out and never looked back.


Xylie's first Valentine's Day

Six-Weeks-Old - Xylie used to cry every time she yawned.

Already Scheming
Xylie was one of those babies who did not enjoy baths until she was about 6-months-old. I think she was about 2-months-old in this photo.

Meeting her little brother -- Being a big sister was natural for Xylie. She wasn't jealous a bit of Zayden and showered him with love and attention.
