Hard to believe that on Wednesday it will be 4 years since Taris was born. Counting up to the day she was born I thought I knew, but really I didn't have a clue... Just how much on small little baby can absolutely change your life, turn it upside down if you will. She was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen (isn't everyone's child?) I couldn't believe how perfect she was, how sweet, how innocent. That's why people start as babies, or we may not keep them!

Taris has been a spirited child right from the start. She made me question everything I did...she did not do things according to all the books. Though sometimes I wondered what the heck I was supossed to do, she could make it all better with one little smile or giggle.

Terrible twos were...terrible...how could she be more stubborn than me? The trying threes were...trying...we are now heading into the Fantastic fours and just going on the preview we've had the past couple months, I can't wait!

Though growing up, to me Taris will always be my baby.
