Happy Birthday Emmet!

A year ago, early early in the morning Dave drove me to the hospital to have our sweet little boy. We had already been in labor for a few hours at home, and despite the nurses assurance that we could stay home for a little while longer and try to sleep, we decided it was best to go in. We were in labor at the hospital for about ten hours and even though my memories of that particular day are beginning to fade,  I do remember how calm and serene it was despite the pain and excitement (You can read the full birth story here and here).
Our sweet little E is now an entire year old and I can barely believe it! This past year has been full of sweet little snuggles and adorable giggles. I've loved getting to watch him learn and figure out the world around him and plant big kisses on his cheeks every little step of the way. Yes there have been nights that we barely slept. Yes sometimes its hard. But I can't imagine life with out my sweet little guy, he fits into our lives so perfectly.
I'll share more about Emmet at one year old and about our celebration. But for today this little guy gets all of my love and attention. We're going to the zoo!
