“Our dearest @kramer.kendra, you’re officially a teenager now.

Seemed like just yesterday you were that chubby baby who’s personality was larger than life, very loud, unbashful, full of spunk and so playful. The apple of everyone’s eye! You loved to sing and dance and it’s nice to see that those things haven’t changed!

We still remember you running and crying after Papa when leaving for training. Then coming home and seeing you dressed up like mommy, with cheek tint, lipstick and high heels you didn’t want to stop using! Your school even made a special rule about banning 3 yr olds and wearing high heels! 😂👠

Though you’re more reserved these days, it’s nice to see that your witty punchlines and charisma remains. You make everyone laugh with your cleverness and easy going personality.
Your charm is like no other baby. ❤️

And now here we are. 13! Mommy and Daddy have so much advice and guidance to give you. But even at this young age, you have already formed your convictions, your non negotiables, your priorities, ang your love for Christ and family.

You’re such a blessing to Scarlett and Gavin. God made you into the best big sister for them. Annoying them, ordering them around, but showing so much love to them it overpowers the first 2.

You’re such a blessing to Mommy and I. No words will ever be enough to describe our love for you. We’re proud of you! PROUD! We’re so excited for what the future holds for you. Mommy and I are your biggest fans. ❤️

Up next, road from 13 to 18 for you. 😭😭😭 Take your time sweetheart. Enjoy your teenage years! You don’t need to be perfect all the time, give room to grow, learn, loosen up and relax.

So from Papa and Mama, We love you unconditionally! ❤️

And for those who were wondering, yes, the singing was by: Clair Kendra Kramer 🎶😍” Doug wrote in the caption.

In a separate post, Doug shared two sweet and hilarious photo of him with Kendra. Doug also showed that he is protective to his eldest daughter as he wrote in the caption:

“Papa’s always watching. 😉😍

Happy 13th Birthday to my firstborn,
I love you Kendra. ❤️”
