Our sweet Emma sugar is one year old today. I am here to report that it’s true what they say, “babies don’t keep”. And while I look at her and still see a baby, I also see how much she has grown and how fast this last year has gone by before my very eyes. It absolutely blows my mind. Time, please, slow down.
I already miss so many things about this last year that I know I’ll never get back with her.
I miss her being so small I could wear her around the house.
I miss her falling asleep on me.
I even miss those middle of the night feedings.
I miss so much of it.
But I have so much I’m so excited to see.
I constantly go back and forth between wanting you to stay my little baby forever, and being excited about all the amazing things you’ll do in this life.

Every single day is the best day of my life because I get to start it with her sweet face. The last year has been the absolute greatest and it’s all because of how much Emma has blessed Craig & me. Being her mama is the best part of me and the most important role I’ll ever have…and the biggest honor. I’m so glad she chose me to be her mama. I could write novels about how much I love this little girl, but instead I think I will just share these beautiful pictures taken by my friend Deeana Kourtney Photography at Rob Wallace Park.
Happy Birthday, Emma Benson Carter. We love you more than you will ever know!
