This is TWELVE

This is TWELVE


I cant believe my firstborn is 12. this is your last year before you enter your teens. I always thought this day was so far away BUT its here. Our baby girl is growing up way to fast.

Teegan Reilly, you have grown up so much and made your daddy and I so proud. You continue to amaze us every single day. You are fiercely independent and still a total mommas girl. I love it when you snuggle up to me on the couch, lay your head in my lap and want me to play with your hair or tickle your back. I love that you always want my opinion on what you should wear for school, or how you should wear your hair.

You have experienced a lot of change this year with a new town, new house, and new school but you never skipped a beat. You surprise me so much at how well you adjust to new things and embrace whatever life throws at you. You never one time complained or showed frustration. You have made great new friends and are doing so well in school. I hope that you always know how proud we are of you. You are so driven in every aspect.

You are my little perfectionist and love for all things to be the way you like it. From the way your bed is made, to how your ponytail looks, to your school work, and how spotless your room is. I never have to tell you clean up your room or make your bed. Haha your room is more clean than mine on a regular basis. I love that you know exactly how you want things and will do what it takes to make it that way.

Sports are your thing and you have done so well this year. We have loved watching you play basketball, cheerleading, softball, and gymnastics. You always make us proud and always have a positive attitude win or lose. I hope that you always remember as long as you give 100% that is all that matters. I hope that you always have a love for basketball like you do know. Its amazing the confidence and smile you have on the court. I will forever remember these moments.

I love your contagious laughter, your dramatic outbursts, the way your nurture your siblings without batting an eye. You love to be outside and would possibly live out there if I would let you. You are my busy body and if your bored you like to pester your siblings. I love your creativity with drawing, painting, and the sweet little notes you make me. You could spend hours shooting hoops in the driveway with all the neighbor kids. I love that you always include everyone and have such a big heart. You love playing games and winning at UNO and I love that we cant stop playing until you have won. You are soo competitive and come by  it naturally.  I love that your always willing to help me cook and clean.

You love food and have always been the best eater. Your favorite meal is  homemade chicken and noodles with mashed potatoes. You ask me weekly if we can have it and are sure to eat the left overs until its GONE. Your go to snacks are fruit, string cheese, yogurt, and ramen noodles with valentino and lemon juice.

You are AMAZING and I'm looking forward to what your future holds. I know that you will do amazing things with your sweet driven heart.

Happy Birthday sweet girl

Love,
Mom
