“You know,” I said to Thalia, as I cuddled her in my lap last night, “this time four years ago you were still in my belly juuuust about ready to come out. I didn’t know you yet and I was so excited to meet you, especially because I wasn’t a mommy yet. And that’s partly why July 6 is so special to me – because I wasn’t a mommy yet until that day.”
“Right. You were just a womens.”
“I was just a womens.”
Happy birthday my beautiful girl. And thank you for transforming me from just a womens into something that’s pretty darn nice.

Happy Birthday T! You are such a beautiful little girl!
(and wow, Liz, 4 already!)
My baby turned 11 this weekend. I haven't been a just a womens in ages! Happy birthday, to both of you.
My baby will be 4 this month as well. 2005 was a good year!
Happy birthday to your little gal and happy birth-day to you. 4 was an exciting one and kind of hard… It meant the end of toddler-dom and the beginning of officially being a kid.
Happy birthday, you beautiful girl!
Isn't it crazy?! No longer a baby or toddler and now a CHILD. Gasp.
Welcome to 4! It's a good year, but turns quickly to that magic number “going to school” 5.
But as far as I'm concerned, they're still babies for as long as their knuckles are pudgy and dimpled.
Sorry we missed it this year. Q keeps saying “But I told Thalia I would be there…”
Can't believe she's 4. Congrats on your 4th year as an awesome mama.
And a HUGE happy birthday to Thalia!!!!!
Last night my baby had her 14th birthday party.
No hats.
Happy birthday to Thalia — and to you.
Look at the joy in her face! That's childhood right there! Happy Birthday to your beautiful little girl!
Wow, look at that cake! And that gorgeous smile on that gorgeous girl!
Happy Birthday, Thalia.
(btw, I know you're interested in the whole sugar vs. hfcs in soda thing…we did a taste test at my house on the fourth. Come check it out on my blog!)
Wishing your daughter {and Mommy too} a scent-sational birthday!
Awww! Happy 4th Birthday to your darling, beautiful, little girl! How are they growing up so fast? What is with that? I'm so emotional about the fact that my oldest son – he's turning 4 on August 1st – will also be starting kindergarten in September. Major emotional breakdown for me!
Happy celebrating your daughter's birthday! She's a big girl now! And cute as ever!
Happy birthday Thalia, and congrats to your whole family! -Christine
So very cute. I hadn't seen a picture of your daughter in a while & when I clicked on the link and saw the picture it blew me away how much she looks like you!
Since I have a 4 1/2 yo, I have to agree with Kelly and say that 2005 was a good year!
Boy howdy is she gorgeous. Happy Happy, beautiful Thalia.
Happy happy happy birthday our dear sweet Thalia with all our love-Grammye & Grandpa!
You were always a pretty nice womans (well, at least since you became a womans), but Thalia transfomred an entire family. Happy Birthday to you both! Dad
Happy birthday to your beautiful Thalia!! =) I hope she enjoys the day!
awwwww HOW ADORABLE! congratulations for going from a womens to a mommy.
Happy birthday!
Awwww happy birthday sweet Thalia! Good job, Mom! You are going to LOVE 4, it's an amazing age.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, beautiful girl!
Happy birthday Thalia! You are just gorgeous, inside and out.
Hope she had a very happy birthday! (Is there any cake left?!)
That is so dang sweet. Liz, you've got an awesome kid there.
Happy 4th to Thalia.
Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter!
So sweet! Happy Birthday!
She's precious. Happy belated birthday to her!
I remember what she said when you told her this last year… “you were a daddy?”
Make sure you tell her this every year and that you keep track of her response. It will make an awesome list for her when she's a mommy too.
