Julia, Six

Tomorrow, Julia turns six years old – and not a moment too soon for this smart, funny, adorable, independent-minded little girl. She’s been looking forward to this birthday for a long, long time.

I won’t comment at any length on the sheer weirdness and wonder of this kindergartner being the same creature as the tiny pink baby that struggled to be born six years ago – except to say that it’s been amazing and to post this updated collection of photos of Julia on (or near) her six birthdays. (I ran a slightly smaller version of this set in a blog post last year.)

Oh, and to say,

“Happy birthday, Julia Charlotte!”
