It had been a fun-filled day. Emilia didn't seem to realise that it was a special day, but for once Niels and Amanda decided to spoil her. Naptime was ignored, as Emilia seemed to excited. Instead, she continued to toddle around the living room, holding on to her walker. Amanda sat quietly on the couch, admiring her little girl. It was unbelievable how quickly time had flown by. It seemed like just yesterday Amanda had felt the first pangs of labour. She could still clearly remember the unyielding joy that filled her heart when she heard her baby girl's first cry--her first sign of life outside of the womb. It almost brought Amanda to tears now, just thinking of how much Emilia had progressed since the day of her birth. She was such a content, affectionate child, and Amanda hoped it would never change. Niels had made sure to give Emilia her very first birthday cake. At first, Emi didn't know what to do with it, but as her curiosity always seemed to be connected to her tastebuds, soon after sticking her hands into the frosting, her hands ended up in her mouth. Niels and Amanda laughed, taking tons of pictures of their baby's first taste of cake. It certainly was something to be remembered. By the time they dressed Emilia in her birthday dress and hat, and traveled to the photographer's studio for her 1-year-old picture, the infant was exhausted. She refused to stand or to sit up and only managed to lie on her belly and stare blankly at the camera. Yet, it was a photograph that Amanda knew she would cherish for as long as she lived. They all laughed when Emilia eventually fell asleep during the photography session. She was exhausted after a fun-filled day of being spoiled. While Emilia slept soundly in her crib that night, Amanda sent up a silent prayer to Kobe--a thanks for a wonderful first year of her baby's life. Comments #1.
