Letter to my daughter: Happy 18 months Emma!

My dearest Emma:

I can't even begin to fathom that you are officially a "toddler" now! Your soul is so beautiful it radiates. I can't believe I get to be your momma. I feel incredibly blessed.

As you grow, so does your personality. Although you can be very shy at first, you always seem to warm up to new people at the perfect time. Some of your favorite words right now are "go", "yeah", "than chu", "mas", "yum" and my least favorite "no" ;) On occasion you still speak in your own language, which I think is you mimicking us speak English. It's soo cute! You LOVE to sing! I'll have to record ya one of these days so you can hear yourself one day. And you love to carry a camera, necklace & purse around everywhere. Your favorite dolls right now are the cabbage-patch & the Angelina Ballerina. Somehow you always find a way to make Papa & I laugh hysterically at dinner time, baby girl, we love you soo much! You will always be my "baby girl."

And now that you'll be a big sister in just a few short months, I have no doubts that you will be an amazing big sister. My heart swells up just thinking about it.

And apparently, I'm funny! ;)

I love you more than words....

Your mama <3

I can't believe it, my baby is officially 14 months today! I feel soo blessed to be her mommy. Stumbled upon this quote & it pretty much sums up the way I feel for her

Love:

To feel with one's whole self the existence of another being.

She's doesn't look like a baby so much does she? :( But always silly!

I love these curly-q's! :)

All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them.

Emma's Weekly Portrait: Week 58

A photo a week doesn't sound like it's too hard to accomplish right? You have seven whole days to snap a picture either with your fancy point & shoot camera or phone. And we all have phones right?! :)

I've been doing a photo a week since Emma was born & I'm soo happy I've managed to keep up! Because now I'm able to look back and see exactly how much she's grown. I encourage you to take up the challenge, I already know you will not regret it!

Every Friday I"ll be posting her photo to share with all of you... Hope you enjoy it as much as I do ;)

So I've been on the Instagram craze like everyone else lately & I've also started #365daysofemmalove which is pretty much a photo a day. SO much more convenient than taking a photo a week only because its on your phone, you upload & done. Of course the quality isn't as great, well because it's a phone image instead of a digital SLR camera . Anyway, your welcome to follow me on IG my user name is: Belove23

Ohh my little lady is full of silly faces! Love her to pieces! 

While snapping some portraits of Emma her two little buddies wanted in on the fun... I titled this one
"All we need is LOVE" 

 These two little friends will look back on this picture one day.... <3

And just for fun... This is Emma exactly one year ago! 

I told you it was fun looking back at these... so worth it!
