7 years ago, today, you came into this world! For 24 years, I had been "training", waiting, and looking forward to this moment. Up until that moment, I was just a daughter and a wife and had no mothering experience of my own. I was hesitant, but knew I had been trained by the best...my hero...my mother!Because of her, I have you...
Once upon a time she was the one giving loves and kisses to my bruises, broken heart or ego. Now, I'm the one empathizing, loving, cuddling, and kissing you.
Once upon a time she was the one singing the silly songs at the piano and narrating stories. Now, years have passed and I'm the one who sings and reads to you.
Once upon a time, she was the one cooking, cleaning up my messes, driving me to school, and holding me when I was sick. Now, I'm the one cooking, cleaning, carpooling, and caring for you.I don't know how she did it! Somehow, she gave me wings to fly and leave the nest...and now here I am...your mother!
Although you are 7, you are still my baby. I am so grateful for you and for the joy you have brought into our lives. I am also grateful for my mother. Without her, I would not be the mother you have today. Thank you mom, for teaching me, encouraging me, and helping me each step of the way!
Much love to both of you! Happy 7th Birthday Taylor! And, Happy (belated) birthday Mom!

Happy birthday Taylor! What a sweet post. She is sure a cutie!
She shares a birthday with my Connor!
Thanks for a new post! I always enjoy what you have to say. : )
Wow!! Taylor is growing up. I can't believe she is 7 already!! You are a wonderful Mother Kimberly and what a beautiful tribute and post to your own Mom. I know she is proud of you and the wonderful wife and Mother you have become.
I can't believe she's seven. How did our girls get so big so fast? What a sweet post. I loved it.
Isn't it scary how fast time goes? Sweet post sounds like both of them are pretty special people.
This post was so sweet it made me get teary. Your mom is so pretty too. Now I see where you and Taylor get your good looks. Can't wait to see you next week!
Once upon a time you were seven, and now your once upon a time is happening! Makes me cry! I sure do love you! Thanks for the birthday post. I feel honored to be able to share it with my little Taylor!
That was really cute! I really love looking at pictures of Taylor. I can't believe that SEVEN years ago I found out that I was an aunt. I showed EVERYONE her baby pictures. You printed them out in my letters, and I seriously was probably annoying showing off my beautiful niece. Now she's SEVEN! Yikes! She's still so beautiful, and if I had printed pictures of her, I would still show them off! Happy Birthday, Taylor Bug!
That was so CUTE!!! I am SHOCKED at how fast they grow up. Taylor is a VERY lucky girl to have you as a mom!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Taylor!!
Happy birthday, to my favorite oldest niece.
