A little girl was born on this very day, a few years ago.

The doctor had predicted a boy. The boy was to be named Michael Vincent. This photo is the girl’s mommy trying to NOT gloat that she got a GIRL instead.

This little girl tended to NOT sleep ever. (This photo is 6 weeks old, at 2am, WIDE AWAKE.) Some day this little girl’s parents would cackle as she talked about how her son NEVER slept.

This little girl grew older

She sometimes did silly things. She blamed(s) vodka.

She also did this.

 

It’s been a good year.
