Teyah's 5th birthday

Sweet Teyah turned 5 this summer! She knew for months that she wanted a 'butterfly birthday party."

These cute 5 friends helped her celebrate.


I'm not sure if catching the fake butterflies or Daddy catching a real frog (outside) was the bigger highlight.



Teyah and Emily have been buddies a long time.

Annika is our new neighbor.

Daddy had to give Teyah a singing Justin Bieber doll -- the girls just thought that was too funny.

Some things about Teyah:
-She is sweet, loving, and a great friend. She is not shy and needs her friend time or she gets grumpy!
-Since the day she was born, she has been petite and beautiful! This year we cut her hair short, and it fits her dainty face perfectly.
-Teyah spent a lot of time in therapy this year for speech, occupational therapy and physical therapy. But with all her physical struggles, she is able to fit in surprisingly well. Unfortunately, some things are just much harder for her than they are for others her age.
-She tries to keep up with her sisters and plays well with them and also with Kyler. Cleaning up, however, is not her forte.
-Teyah loves to travel. This year we went on a Disney Cruise and a trip to Chicago that when she returned she told all about both trips to everybody and anybody who would listen.

We love our little Teyah and our family would not be the same without her!

A very belated happy birthday to Teyah! She is darling. Sorry to hear she's having to work so hard with speech, OT and PT. We've been down that road before so I know what a challenge it can be for the parents as well. Sounds like she's progressing beautifully.
