Double Digits!

It's seem absolutely unbelievable that our AJ is hitting double digits! She is an amazing little girl and we have been so blessed to have her in our lives! I missed the first three months of her life because I was still on my mission (yes, it's also very weired to me to think it's almost been ten years since I came home), but it was very to try to make up for a little bit of lost time. AJ is smart, loves to read, loves animals. It was kind of fun for me to realize she had her first crush on Zac Efron.

I had to include this! When AJ found out she was going to be a big sister, she started asking everyone, "When I first met you, what was I wearing?" Here's the answer. We first met at the airport and she had on this onsie (yes, it's hanging on my wall still) as well as a little yellow sweatsuit: And this would be the first meeting:

I got to have her come spend a couple of days with me when she was little (because she's ancient now that she's hit the double digits). After bath time, she was more than happy to hang out in a towel. I didn't have an issue since we weren't on a time table, besides, doesn't she look adorable:

The most recent picture I have of her. If she keeps growing like she has been, she's going to be taller than me in a few years! She's still pretty cute:

AJ thank you for being such a great example. She is so excited about life and is so fun to watch with all of her little cousins. She is so good with them. There have been a few babies that she's been the only one who could get the full belly laugh out of and she's been more than willing to share her talent.

I love you, Monkey!
