somebody's seven

I don't know how it happened






















But somebody turned seven last week





















I don't know how it could be that seven years have passed
since we first met this kid






















since we first saw her, heard her, held her














in seven short years she's become





















so much more than I could even begin to imagine while holding that newborn














so smart














such fun














so dramatic






















such a proud big sister





















so much her own person






















so grown up






















and so still our baby girl
















seven
