Happy 6th Birthday Emma!

Today my baby turns 6! It seems hard to believe that six years has flown by so quickly but here we are. This time six years ago I was still in labor with her and she wouldn't arrive for another 8 hours or so. I had endured 10 weeks of bedrest to get her here safely and it was the culmination  of all that hard work. After she was born I felt such relief and yet still was anxious for what was to come. We knew she would need surgery and we knew we were in for a long haul with the NICU. But, we were so thrilled to finally have our baby girl here.

She has been a constant light in our loves. I never get tired of teller her "I love you" nor from hearing her tell me the same thing. She is an amazing big sister and I know she will be equally amazing with her new brother when he comes. She loves to learn, to read and to laugh!

She can read on a first grade level at the beginning of Kindergarten, she says her favorite subject is math, she loves to sit and write or doodle in her journals.

Here is a list of her favorites, asked of her this very instant:
Music -  Taylor Swift
Color - Pink
Food - Fruit
TV Show - Hannah Montana
TV character - Hannah Montana
Restaurant - El Cabrito
Song - "My" by Taylor Swift
Band - Big Time Rush
Pastime or Hobby -Play with Caesen
Friend - Caesen
Toys - Barbies
Channel - Nickolodeon
Favorite Disney Channel Show - Fish Hooks

and what she wants to be when she grows up - a housekeeper

Some of those were a surprise to me, haha!

She is a one of a kind that's for sure and we would not know what to do without her in our lives!
