To my Emelia Claire on your first birthday.

WARNING: BIG Belly shot coming up...



My sweet Emmie,
One year ago yesterday, I looked like this;

Then, the next morning, we did this!!
You were totally precious!
The first blue eyed baby since Sydney.
(All the girls have blue, both boys have brown)
Then we dressed you up and took you home. Where has a year gone? Wasn't all this just yesterday?
Are you really a whole year old?
Unbelievable.
You weren't really a fussy baby, but you were
our fussiest. Your daddy always thought there
was something wrong with you-I always told him
that sometimes babies just cry. You were so sweet
though. Your brothers and sisters just loved all over you!
They were fascinated by you and so were we.
You have always had such a strong personality.
You are fiercely independent, always wanting down
so you can go play, toddle around, or chase your brothers.
You keep up with them very well, you can be just as
rough and tumble as they are, and I think you are
gonna give them a run for their boyish money!
You are also sweet and lovey (when you want to be)
and you love to give lots of wonderful kisses!
When you want to hold my hand, you open it up so
you can lace your fingers through mine.
You love your light-up seahorse at bedtime,
holding it against one cheek as you bury your head
in my neck to cuddle a few minutes before I
lay you down.
When you catch me looking down at you
while you are nursing, you let go and give me the
biggest smile! Precious!
You have the greatest fake
look-at-me-I'm-too-cute-for-you smile,
and also the greatest
look-at-me-I'm-warning-you-it's-about-to-get-ugly
cry! You are such a little actress!
You walk really well, but you usually get ahead of
yourself when you try to run!
You say mama, dada, bye-bye, hi, uh-oh, cat,
tai-too(thank you) and something that
sounds like Ashton, and something else that
sounds like Jacob.
You were our early surprise baby-our early
gift from God, and I thank God for you everyday.
I love the bright smile you give me when I walk into the
room to pick you up in the mornings, and I love the
sleepy little smile you give me just as I lay you
into your bed every night.
Happy birthday baby girl.
I'm so glad you are mine to love.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks for letting me post about my baby love.
Goodnight friends.
TTFN,

It does not seem like 1 year ago, that i was laying my big pregnant self on the couch and you called and said you aren't going to be mad if i miss your baby shower tomorrow and i said why and you said because i am going to be having a Baby. I was not mad, I was excited that i not only got to go to my baby shower for Easton but i got to stop by the hospital on the way to the shower and hold a Sweet Baby Emmie. 2 great things in 1 day. Happy Birthday Emmie! We Love You!
