Happy 9th Birthday Jaida!!!

Nine years ago on April 9th my sweet little Jaida snuck in to this world a tad too early. Born at 27 weeks, weighing just 2 lbs. 12 oz., and measuring 15 inches long. She scared us all half to death by coming that early, and we didn't know what the next few hours, days, weeks, or months would mean for us.

Needless to say, here she is 9 years later, a perfectly happy, healthy little girl. She is our little miracle baby! We love her and are so proud of the big girl she is becoming!!

We went shopping and she was determined to have these blendy pens!!

She also chose Pixos!

Mom decided it was time for a new jacket!

And a girl can always use a new pair of pajamas!

Her little brother played photographer for the night and captured a close-up of her new piggy bank! (This year Target had the cutest banks, so I made it a goal to get each of my kids one for their birthday.)

She also got money from Grandma & Grandpa Saul, and Great Grandma Wittick, and a sewing machine from Grandpa & Grandpa Robison!

We love you Jaida! We hope you had a really fun birthday!
