Greta Rachel Age 8

Greta was 8 back in August so these birthday pictures are only 2 months late!! Greta is a fun little subject.  She's all smiles and happiness.  The more I photograph my kids the more I want the pictures to be 'them'.  To capture them where they are at the moment. Greta is definitely herself in front of the camera.  She moves and jumps and smiles with her whole adorable little face.

Greta is spunky, feisty, full of life, organized, competitive, and very affectionate.  Kind of a little fire ball!!  One thing that stands out to me right now is she does not like to be wrong, make mistakes, or be made fun of in any way.  She is very competitive.  I am trying to teach her that making mistakes or messing up is ok.  It's been a hard one for her!

Greta is a fun addition to our family.  She plays really well with her brothers and loves spending time with her big sisters.  She is content to be home and play by herself in her room for hours on end.  She loves to sing, read, color, and make cards for those she loves.  She is full of spunk and energy and will never turn down an opportune to run or compete.  A couple fun details, Greta by far has the neatest handwriting of any of my kids.  She also is very time oriented.  Phew...finally got one of those!!  We will be driving somewhere and she will read and reread the clock and tell me that we're going to be late, asking if we will arrive on time, etc.

Greta Rachel we love you and hope you have an amazing 8th year!!

G is pretty proud of her birthstone ring that her Grandma bought her at the beach.
