Cuteness Defined

27 years ago today, my mother experienced a whole new version of childbirth. Her stubborn "Steven" wouldn't budge. When that baby decided SHE wanted to make her debut she arrived sunny side up.

You know, just to be different.



Of course she didn't always resemble a primate so much.

Eventually she got even more adorable.



She had a few more trips around the sun - made her fair share of mistakes and perfected the eye-roll. But she has always done what she wants...

Wait for the singing? No way!



This child was not only cute as a button, she was a budding artist. Sharpening her mad pig sculpting skills. Making her parents very proud.



So come on folks... Celebrate this painfully adorable genius child's birthday!



I know my momma is.
