1 Year Old!

I can finally write this blog without tearing up. It has been a couple of days that I am thinking about what I will write and going back to the earlier blogs from her birth....but everytime I would get to emotional. So this time I am writing the blog first and then I'll look back at the pictures.

This past year has been unbelievable. We had so many hoops to jump through to get pregnate, and as soon as she got here all of that did not even matter. She was our little angel. So perfect. So pretty. She completed our family. And the rush of love that we felt towards her was unspeakable.

People told us to enjoy every moment of it because they grow up so fast. But in the midst of thing you wonder when is she going to sleep for 3 consecutive hours, when will she sit by herself, when will she eat pureed food, when is she going to walk, to talk, to have teeth...that you forget to enjoy it all. But there are these times when you are very sleep deprived and she has just pooped and its everywhere in your bed ( because you brought her in your bed for some cuddling) you desperatly try to clean up and are hanging by a thread, then your eyes cross her eyes and she gives a little smile and in a second the world is perfect again and she is all that matters in your world. Now she is 1, and it seems like we just brought her home yesturday.

Emmanuelle is 1 year old. She has 2 teeth and we are waiting for more anytime now. She has been walking for almost 2 months and is quite good at it. She does not talk yet but keeps saying this word that sound like "Balou" (our big dog's name). She laugh a lot. She already has a great sense of humor and will sometimes make jokes to us. She is just busy discovering the world. It is so amazing how much change one year can make. Every step of it was a great experience and great to watch her grow into this fun and perfect little girl and can't wait for the future.

And don't think I did not tear up while writing this... because I did!
