Happy 9th Birthday Moo Moo ..

Happy birthday to my baby girl, 9 today.  The years have just flown by and you my little wonder just keep getting more awesome with age!
Hol, you never cease to surprise me with your resilience and determination.  You are a strong girl in every sense of the words, both physically and mentally. You can do absolutely anything you put your mind to, I see it happen almost daily, at school, home and in sport. You will give anything a go, even if you're a little scared at first, you're the first for a challenge.
This last month or two you really seem to have matured a lot, and are seeing things more from a grown up perspective, which is really cool.  You are fiercely independent and love responsibility.
You adore your family and friends and are the most loyal friend in the world.  You get along with everyone, but love one on one time with your friends. You're favourite people to play with though would still be the "awesome foursome" as you call them. Amelie, Chil and Mia are still 3 of you're favourite people.  You and Harry and Lucy play so well together, you are all great friends which is so heartwarming for me to watch.   You are still obsessed with Taylor Swift, I don't see that wavering for a while!  Sometimes these days I get a glimpse of your teenage self, it is both scary and cool to see, but at the same time you are still a little girl.
You are smart kiddo, you do really well in school and your teachers rely on you for your maturity and helpfulness. You still love gymnastics, you are upside down every day, and flipping on the trampoline to the point I have to look away!  You love your netball team and have made some good friends there too.  Thank you for being the loving, kind and fulfilled daughter that you are, I love you more than any words could ever describe. Please don't grow up too quickly!
I love  you kiddo!!! Happy Birthday Moo moo xx
