You’re fifteen today.
You tower over me now, which honestly, isn’t hard to do.

With your height, I am reminded that you are inching into adulthood and slowly slipping away from being my baby.
Even though you may be a decade and a half today, you will always be my sweet smiley baby but those little girl princess days feel like a lifetime away.

While you may be growing up quicker than I would like, in my eyes I will always see a dragon training, paleontologist superhero princess baking the most delicious cupcakes and cookies.

Keep cuddling.
Keep reading.
Keep baking.
Keep being your beautiful self.
And most importantly, please keep being my baby girl.
