i just had to stop and take pics of kymora this day. she just took my breath away. she's 8 here. 3rd grade. the only sister in the bunch.

i told her that i didn't want anymore girls when i was pregnant with kava. 'why mom? i want a sister!' is what she'd say. truth is, i feel she is more special this way. the princess in our family, set apart from the boys. i'm hoping that we are on the path to a great relationship. i love how she is rough, but yes oh so delicate. she's a true girl in the sense that she is truly tied to her emotions. especially when it comes to our family. she says she 'hates' her brother, but she is the first one to cry if he's hurt. she's super tender toward her dad. she has a lovely soul. she really cares about her friends, family, school. she's got a light about her that i hope no one takes away.

anyway, i just had to share these. my baby is getting so big!

*ps this post is not to take away from my family members that have 2 girls (ie, amihan and jamie. I can hear the comments now ;)
