My last baby is one year old. I feel such excitement. Sadness. Relief. There is no way that these simple pictures can explain all that the past year has entailed. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was at the hospital (barely in time) to have her. Yet it has been the longest year ever too. She has not been an easy baby. She fell perfectly into the “spirited baby” category, which I am pretty sure is code for “she may turn out to be a great person, but she will not be an easy baby.” Yet, I wouldn’t trade any of it away. There has been so much unexpected joy. She is so full of life and gusto – it’s hard not to be feeling something when you are around her. She is our little gift from God. He knew we needed her. I can’t wait to spend her life finding out why!
Enjoy these pictures of my baby big girl. It was so much fun to do a cake smash! I think I am going to start offering that as a product to my clients. And her expressions! It might be just because I am her mom, but I can. not. look at these without cracking up! If she does not grow up to be an entertainer, she might have just missed her calling.
I love you Emersyn Noel! We made it through the first year together!
