Eight years ago, she was a helpless newborn, full of unrealized potential. Today, she's a third grader, full of vim and vinegar, piss and vigor.
Eight years ago, she was 22". Now she's 53", and has grown two and a half inches since last year.
Eight years ago, I didn't know that she would make me a better person, bit by bit, every single day.
Happy birthday, girlie. You'll always be my favorite baby.

Eight is one of the very best ages. Enjoy: mother and daughter both.
Best birthday wishes! xo
My daughter got a card for her eighth birthday that I loved. I goes like this:
"Extra-cool
Invincible
Girl-powerful
Hip 'n stylin'
Totally wow
Eight - it's an attitude."
I think that fits Mir, too.
Your text resonated with me because just last night as Fiona stepped out of the shower, I wrapped the blanket around her and hugged her. She complained, "I can't hug you back," and I said, "You couldn't hug me when you were a tiny baby, either, but I hugged you all the time." Then I remarked that she was 21 1/2 " long at birth, which is almost two feet, so how come she's only grown three feet (and some inches) in the last nine years??
Yes, my children have made a world of difference in me.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter and congratulations, Mom.
Happy Birthday!! What a wonderful post.

Happy birthday, M! May it be another wonderful year! (and good going, Magpie, for all those years of good parenting)

It's a perfect age! Belated happy wishes to both Eight and her mom.

Happy (belated) birthday, M.!
Oh, belated birthday wishes!
