In Real Life: NINE.....(Humboldt County Children's Photographer)

So I am still in shock as I write this out. My baby girl is going to be 9 this week. There are so many things that I remember so vividly about Makenzie from when she was a baby that seem like just last year. I am so impressed with how she is growing up. She is kinder and braver than I could have ever hoped for. She is so independent and silly and she stands by her own beliefs and ideas even though they are at the opposite end of mine. She can't wait to grow up even more and reminds me constantly that she is "almost 10". Miss Kenzie is the ultimate daddy's girl. They have this bond that is so strong that I don't even pretend to understand. They finish eachothers thoughts and ideas and have all these personal inside jokes that Colson and I don't comprehend. Even though I am saddened by how fast time is going by, I am excited to see Miss Kenzie's hopes and dreams play out in the future. She is the ultimate blessing to this family and we are so proud of her and the person she is turning out to be.
