When you hold your baby for the first time, it’s an overwhelmingly feeling. The weight of responsibility sits right there on your chest in need of your love & protection as you begin to raise them. You blink, dress her in pink & live a little & before you know it, you have that overwhelming feeling again. Except this time she isn’t resting on your chest. She is caught from a distance looking more beautiful every second. She doesn’t even know it but you are dying inside of her inches of growth & years of life just flying by. She turns 14!! She still comes & rests her head on your chest & you soak up the newborn changed scent that now smells like some sweet shampoo she has just used. Even though the weight of responsibility still sits on your shoulder… well actually both shoulders now…You are just happy to have her that close to you, just like the day she was born.
Emmie had a fun bday getting to go shopping with her mom to her favorite place…. Target! This called for a fun theme to surprise her! I love birthdays & making them special. Time is certainly overwhelmingly fleeting & I don’t want to lose my sense of smell. They grow up so fast! Happy Birthday to our Emmie Lou.
