Dhara
When we found out we were having another baby, and started contemplating having a girl, I was puzzled. We had 2 boys and I knew if the baby ended up being a girl my life would forever change. I had no idea what to expect. I heard of your daughter being your best friend but I didn't know what that meant. This is so the truth. She is my shadow. She is my world. My son was the cutest thing in the world to me when he was born, up until Dhara was born. She takes the cake for sure! She is the most photogenic child I have ever seen, but I may be a bit biased. Hope you enjoy this journey.
A Few Days Old
This is Dhara brand new, just a couple days old. She was a happy baby.

Dhara and Great Grandma Adlene. This woman refuses to take photos willingly but I have managed to snap a photo of her holding each of our kids as babies. She is 83. This means so much to me because I never knew any of my great grandparents and hardly knew my grandparents.
Learning to Talk
Here you are witnessing Dhara's first words Bye Bye! She was about a year old and is now one of the most articulate 3 year olds that I know. Once the flood gates opened it has poured out ever since!!! She talks a lot!
Never a Dull Moment!
She has style and an outgoing personality! She is not afraid to try anything... unless it has to do with spiders. She hates spiders. But snakes and alligators she is good with.
Here are some of mommy's favorite photos! There are A LOT of photos of Dhara. haha
I love her so much, I could go on and on...
We went on a little walk and it turned into a spontaneous photo shoot for her. haha
Time passes by so quickly, I cannot believe she is so big. She's a crazy hellian but I love her.
Three-teen
It's a thing, look it up. She is three going on eleven. But I will try my hardest to keep her little for as long as possible. As much as it annoys me that I cannot use the restroom without her or that she creeps into my bed every single night and tries to sleep on top of me, I cherish our relationship. I will always hug her when she needs it. I will always kiss her when she is hurt. She's my best friend.
All photos are original.
