Emilia-
It is amazing how fast the past year has gone. When I look back at pictures of you as a newborn, I cannot believe that you were ever that small. Your favorite words these days are “Teddy, Dada (you seemed to have forgetten how to say Mama), Bear, Yeti and the sign for more. You have started taking a couple steps too. We threw a little party for you and you loved being the center of attention. What you even loved more were presents. You tore into the packages with gusto and were excited about everything you found inside.
You were especially thrilled by the huge Teddy Bear from your uncle Joey
After the presents we had some cake and since you were a winter baby like your Dad and I, I thought that a snow woman cake would be fitting. You have not had much dessert before now, and I think you liked it.
We can’t wait to see what the next year brings!
Love, Mom
