My favorite thing about you:
Is that you're a girl.

When we first found out we were having a girl, the first thing I asked the ultrasound tech was "Like what percentage are you talking?" I was certain that I was pregnant with a boy. He told me "Like 97%." "Okay." I was over the moon excited. I can be a girly girl - I love getting my hair done, my nails, shopping, all things chalked into the "girl" category.
But I love how Haley is a girl. She's a running, swimming, tumbling, artistic, holds nothing back against her brother, dress loving, girl. She's defining how she wants to be a girl, and some days that means making a mess in the sand in the back yard and other days it means going to the nail salon for mani/pedi's. I'll admit that when I found out I was having a girl, I was excited about doing those things with her, picking out prom dresses, and planning a wedding someday. But my job as the mom of a girl is to show her how to be strong, healthy, intelligent, able, and sure of herself. The same things I'm responsible for with my son.
Yes, the blog has been a little girl heavy lately, but that's just because she's the one more willing to sit still for the camera. It ebbs and flows around here.

Those are all the reasons I was so excited we were having a girl too!
