Shayla is 5!!!

Five years ago today, September 25th, Shayla Angela Biehn was born into our family. We couldn't have been more excited to meet her! She was our smallest baby (so far) weighing in at only 6 lbs. 9 oz. She soon plumped up to be our chubbiest baby! Right from the start Shay was feisty and had LOTS of personality. And, I must say, was BEAUTIFUL! She was born with TONS of silky blonde hair and had stunning blue eyes. Here she is at 3 weeks... And at 1 years old....

And 2....

And 3...

And 4...

And now she's 5! Shayla has been such a special addition to our family. She just makes life sweeter. She has always been a very smart girl who started talking early and has never quit. She was easily speaking in full sentences by the time she was 2. She is a very compassionate child. She will be the first to comfort you if she knows you're hurting. She also LOVES to compliment. She truly sees the beauty in everything and everyone around. We love that about her! Shayla has been known to drive us CRAZY at times. She has a "diva" personality and makes life difficult when things don't go her way. She can have a major attitude! But you know what? We love that about her and wouldn't change it if we could. That's what makes her who she is.

Shayla is SUCH a wonderful sister too! She and Kaleigh have been best friends from day 1, but she is still great to Peyton too.

We ADORE and LOVE you baby and hope that your 5th Birthday is super fun and special. You really deserve it. Thank you for choosing our family and blessing our lives. We look forward to many, MANY more years with you. You are a GORGEOUS little girl. Inside and out.
