So, things have been a little nutty lately; and I am running a little behind on posting. (stating the obvious, right?) I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share a few words about my little bit of sunshine, though. I just cannot believe that Emily is 2 already. It seems that the more I try to keep her my baby, the faster she turns into this adorable little curly top girl. Here are a few of my favorite things about Emily:
- She has an amazing 1000 watt smile. Seriously, her whole body smiles, she squinches up her eyes and just radiates happiness.
- When she gets excited she jabbers on with such an earnest look on her face, it just makes me want to squeeze her cheeks.
- Uh, yea. Those cheeks-so cute! So are her little chubby arms and legs.
- “wook-a-dat!”, “I wike it!”, “I do!”, “A wock-a-chair!” (Pretty much everything she says really does have an exclamation point after it. She is just so stinkin’ happy.
- She has this really funny scowl that gives people (especially new acquaintances.) It is intense and it is difficult to break. Mike and I usually can’t help but laugh up as she nails someone with it.
- She is just so stinkin’ happy!
- When she gets mad she banters off these staccato ejaculations. She reminds me of a mad little hen. It cracks me up.
- The curls. Come on, how can you not love them.
- The way she takes in everything around her.
- When she dances around, her shoulders move in a very cute and exuberant way.
- She often holds tight with one hand around my neck and it melts me.
- She loves being with Megan, you can frequently hear her calling out “Meg! Meg-an” in her cute little voice.
- She loves babies and is so cute and maternal.
- She is so excited about life–and it is contagious!
- I can still think she is cute when she wakes me up at 4am.
- She wakes up totally happy–just excited to be here.
This is probably enough mushy-ness for public consumption, but I think you get the idea. I am so thrilled that I get to be her mommy. I know, you are probably full of cheese by now; but let me jut say she is a perfect little bit of sunshine and that is so beautiful! Happy Birthday, Ems.
Gee, i wonder where she gets her contagious smile! What a darling! Happy birthday emily!
She is a doll! I wish we lived closer so darling little Emily and Chloe could be best friends. She does have fabulous curls and cheeks you could eat. How time has flown, 2 years old. It seems like just yesterday my Mike told me the good news. I still remember the cute email of Megan holding the sign saying she was going to be a big sister. Wasn’t that just last month?
BTW, did you make that cake? I think I already know the answer…WOW!!! You are fantastic Miss Keersten!
happy birthday emily! she really is soooo stinkin’ cute! i love all of the pictrues and i love your “loves” about her! i can’t wait until we have one of our own!
