Happy Birthday

Our little Emma Elizabeth is one!

Emma,

I can’t believe my tiny little baby girl is a year old. Where has the time gone? I remember you being born like it were yesterday. And although it was during a very trying and emotional time for our family, you were that little ray of sunshine we needed.

You were so tiny and sweet, a perfect little girl.

Now look at you. You’re growing bigger and bigger by the day. Learning new things and becoming your own little person full of life and wonder.

I love how you are so loving. One of your favorite things is giving hugs and kisses. You love cuddling with Mommy and chasing Daddy around playing “peek-a-boo”.

Some of my most cherished moments are those spent watching you and Jacob laugh and play together.

You love to dance, “help” mommy with laundry, jump on the bed, crawl over anybody who is on the floor, play outside, and most of all: YELL at the top of your lungs!

You have been so much fun. I feel so lucky to be your mama. I can’t wait to see what else you have to offer this world.

I love you little Emmylou!

Love you always,
Mommy, Daddy & Jakey
