I still remember the minute the doctor put Emily into my arms. She was the most perfect thing that had ever happened to me.
She was such a fun baby and child! She loved to learn, to experience new things, and was just always happy!
Through the years, she's maintained a few of her favorite things: Pooh, the coast of Maine, being alone (although now it's her room rather than a plastic farm), and dressing nicely.
But she's also added in a lot of new loves: books, libraries, history, music, and anything related to books, libraries, history, or music. I can't wait to see where these interests take her!
Happy 17th Birthday to my sweet Emily!
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
