Sami! I cannot believe she is five. Some days it seems like yesterday she was waking me up every hour to eat (she never slept through the night until she was over 2. Can we stay I wanted to ram my head into a wall?) and we were wondering if she would ever crawl and other days I can barely remember her as a baby. It is amazing how much she has changed in 5 years.
Five is a big birthday. Goodbye toddlerhood and preschool days and hello kindergarten. Soon she will be losing her first tooth. With each step she will be needing me less and leaning upon her own knowledge and understanding.
The past five years have been exciting and yet, at times, bittersweet. I can't see where the future takes us. With Sami, anything is possible.
Happy 5th birthday Sami. We love you!

Sami in the hospital. She had a few problems breathing due to being 4 weeks early so she had to goto the special care nursery for 24 hours.
