Yay! Awesome series of photos...great post Mommy...I know don't you wish you could just carry them in your pocket forever...sigh. She's the cutest with that BIG GIRL smile :)
That first picture is so great. And yes, I do understand about the growing up part. It's wonderful and painful all at the same time. And I secretly want a bike like that.
