From Tween to Teen

It's happened. My baby has grown into a teenager.








It's official. That much anticipated birthday has arrived. She is no longer a little girl. No longer a tween. She's 13 today.







Gone are the days of letting me comb her hair. Needing me to tie her shoes.






We've moved on to bigger things. Like needing a ride or cash.


I've seen many changes in her. My favorite is that her relationships with those she shares a house with are changing. We're becoming friends. She invites us to do things with her because she wants to. Yes, all of us -- Mom, Dad and Sister.

Happy Birthday, my little M&M.

She is absolutely beautiful. Happy Birthday to your beautiful little girl. I struggled through the kindergarten thing so I can't imagine how bittersweet turning into a teenager is. ((hugs))

She's adorable. Such a young lady...isn't it fun to watch them become young adults? I love watching my boys turn into men...even if they DO get on my nerves at times!
