Happy 1st Birthday Emma!

Wow, has it already been a year since you were born.  This first year with you as a part of our family has flown by. 

Yours was the only birth that I was awake for and the only one that your father got to witness.  What an exciting experience for us.  I had a huge smile on my face the entire time and could not believe that I was finally getting to experience one of my children being born.

Some of your favorite things are mommy, daddy, your big brothers (who you adore), being tickled, snuggling and racing to see if you can get to the dog food bowl before anyone notices (YUCK!).  Caleb, especially, has a unique bond with you.  He wanted a little sister so much and was the first person (besides mommy and daddy) to hold you. 

You have 3 teeth and have started saying some words, mama, dada, bye bye, night night and mimi (Milo, the dog).  You are not walking yet, but will stand holding onto furniture.  You will reach that milestone soon enough.

Today on your birthday, we are going to the zoo and having a special dinner.  On Saturday, we will have your 1st Birthday party with family and friends.

Happy 1st Birthday, Emma!
