Emma's First Birthday

I have not posted this entry on purpose.  I have to say, I am a little annoyed.  I feel as if Little Girl is my daughter.  I am the one that holds her when she's sad, comforts her at night and knows how to get a bubbly laugh out of her. I AM her mother. Yet, I can't mention her name or post pictures of her face on my family blog.  So, her first birthday rolled around and I couldn't even post the pictures of her cute, chubby hand squishing her cupcake.  Her birthday was in November and I am finally getting around to the post.  Not because I had forgotten or didn't have the time but because I was mad.
Anyway......
We had a party planned for the little peanut but the night before she ran a high fever.  The party was cancelled and we ended up snuggling on the couch that day.  In the end, we went to our local cupcake shop (can you believe little Black Mountain has a cupcake shop?) and bought 4 beautiful cupcakes.  I picked out a small carrot cake cupcake for baby girl. 
After dinner, we let her dive into the special treat.  She enjoyed squishing the cupcake more than eating it.  Oh, how I wish I could post the photos. 
Little one, you complete our family.  Always remember that we love you no matter what happens.  You will always be my daughter.
