"On Aug. 9, 2005, God blessed this Earth with one of his most beautiful children. Caylee Marie was born at 7:14 a.m. in an Orlando hospital," Cindy Anthony wrote. "From the moment she was born she forever stole the hearts of her family. Caylee was not only a beautiful baby, but she had a beautiful spirit that will live on in those that truly knew her and loved her."
The identity of Caylee Marie's father has not been revealed.
Caylee Marie's grandparents appeared on national television this summer and said living without the little girl has been heartbreaking.
Cindy and George Anthony got tattoos to remember the murdered girl.
George Anthony revealed his tattoo on ABC's Good Morning America in June
His tattoo covers his chest and it shows a little girl in a red dress and white shoes staring at the sky. The sun's rays are shown cutting through the clouds. Beneath the image reads the message: "My Sunshine."
It wasn't immediately clear what they Anthonys are doing today to mark the little girl's birthday. Check back for updates.
