today is alyssa's 14th birthday!!! i say this every single year, and i will continue to say it every year, over and over. i seriously have no idea how these years have gone by so fast.
i keep telling her "i'm pretty sure that just yesterday, you were like 4 years old". lol! she's not 4 in this photo, but just a tad bit younger. lol! i had to show this photo of her, from when she was 6 months old. adorable!
and here she is at 14 years old. an amazing, smart, talented, giving, good-hearted, awesome young woman. i'm so proud of her, and all that she's becoming. have a fabulous birthday, baby girl!
Laura they do grow too fast!! Happy Birthday Alyssa!

you are so funny, I say the same thing every year too. For us moms we feel they will be babies forever even as they grow up we still deny it think of them as our babies. She is so cute in her baby picture lots of hair and teeth. My kids got hair and teeth late. Happy Birthday Alyssa! She is just beautiful now and you should be proud.
