He Turned One!

This gorgeous little boy just turned one and is such a bright spot in our family.  He is defiantly spoiled with all the love we can give him.  He has 6 teeth (and has had to fight for each and everyone of them, poor kid), loves to eat meat, crackers, and fruit, just learned to wave bye-bye, sleeps through the night (although he is a bed snob and will only sleep good in his own bed), weighs in at 23.5 lbs, crawls like a champ, but is not yet walking, loves to babble/talk , loves to give kisses, has a smile that will melt any ones heart, a laugh that is contagious, and cheeks the size of Texas.  Oh, how we L.O.V.E. this little guy.
 

Mister Emmitt how we love you so!  Thanks for coming to our family, believe me you are so loved!  Your brother and sister can't get enough of you and Jocie constantly has to point out how cute you are. "Emmitt is so cute, huh Mom?"  is a sentence I've heard more times then I can count.  Christian is already your little protector.  He watches you better then I do sometimes.  He is always looking out for your well being and loves to play with you.  You can always get a smile out of your Daddy no matter how hard his day has been. He loves you so much and is so great with you. What a cute little bond you already have with your Dad! And as for me, your Momma, well I am completely 100% smitten with you and I can feel your little spirit beaming from you, hardly being contained by your your chubby little baby body (love the chubs by the way!).  I feel unworthy to be your Mom but am so very thankful for the blessing you are to me.  Thank you my little Mister Emmitt, thank you for letting me be your Mom.  Sorry that I have to hug you too much, kiss you more then you wish, and blow on that chubby baby belly... every chance I get. :)

WE ARE BLESSED BECAUSE OF YOU!!!  
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!

Love-Daddy, Mommy, Christian, and Jocelyn

*I asked the kids what their favorite thing about Emmit was.

Christian: "That he is so cute and laughs a lot."
Jocelyn: "He's cute, and loves me."
