Three years ago…

Three years ago, I gave birth to my perfect little baby girl.

THEN: The Newborn Empress

Today, that little baby has grown up and totally personifies her online nickname of The Little Empress.

NOW: The Little Empress

This last year especially she’s grown and matured so much. Last year, she could only babble. Now she plays games, can count to ten, tells us stories. But best of all, comes up to us and says, “I love you” with the biggest smile on her face.

I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to stay home with her to watch her grow every day.  The last three years have been a non-stop roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs, exhilaration and fear. The next year promises to be more of the same. And I can’t wait!

Happy Birthday, my Little Empress. Mommy loves you more than words can every say!
