Happy 2nd Birthday EmmaLynn

It sometimes feels like just yesterday, and other times it feels like it was so long ago. It was a Sunday when I went into labor. My water broke at around 11:45 am. I was so excited to finally meet my little baby. I didn't start having contractions till around 2:30 or 3 pm.  We went to the birth center around 9:30 pm or so. At 11:06 she was born 9lbs 4 oz.  What a beautiful baby girl. She is the sweetest little girl ever. Her favorite things are books, singing, dancing, little people toys and animals. We are so blessed to have her a part of our life. Happy 2nd Birthday EmmaLynn Faye. We love you more than you could ever imagine!
Here are a couple of pictures of her when she was born. Above: going home outfit from Grandma Johnson. Below: one of the first pictures with a pretty  bow in her hair.

On her first birthday. What a happy girl. 
Here she is when we celebrated her 2nd birthday. The best I could come up with was to put her Tinkerbell toy on top. She likes Tinkerbell. I was going to try to do a butterfly, however, once I cooked the cake. I realized it was definitely not going to work. so tinkerbell it was. She loved it.
We also took her to Bush Gardens, the local theme park, and watched a few shows there, played on the rides. We had a lot of fun. We will be going back next weekend for another full Saturday in the kids place. What a fun park for us.
