Emma Rose is a healthy, beautiful 1 year old! She has brought us so much joy. We had pictures taken to remember this adorable time in her life. At 12 months, Emma Rose is walking - sometimes tumbly-running - and claps for herself, calling herself "good girl" all the time. She is full of smiles and personality, loves to wave to any and all audiences and shout, "hi!" She loves her giraffe, her blanky, anything soft, but mostly she adores and mimics her big brother, Porter. He has made her tough, but she is not short-handed when it comes to the drama department. Emma Rose weighs 22 pounds, 11 ounces, is 31 inches long, and she is very smart. She is pure joy to our family and we love her so much. We are so proud of her big brother, Porter, and how gentle, caring and protective he is becoming when he is around her. Just yesterday I looked in the back seat and my eyes welled with tears as I observed the two reaching across their car seats to hold hands. We feel so blessed at this stage in our lives.
