Niels couldn't believe it was this time of the year already. It had been one year ago, to the day, that his wife had given birth to their little Emilia. It still felt special to Niels, to know she was there.
Ever since they had been about 14 years of age, he and Amanda had dreamt of having a baby, of having a family of their own. And Emilia had made sure that dream of them came true. It had been so exciting when his Amanda had got pregnant, and even more when Emilia had arrived. And now, she was turning one year old already. As Niels looked at Emilia, who was walking around with her walker, babbling happily, he couldn't do anything but smile. She truly was a little miracle, and he sure wanted to spoil her, just for once. And that was what he was going to do. He had baked a cake for her, one she hopefully would like. It had a lot of frosting on it, in hopes of her liking it. As he approached Emi, she sat down reaching out for him. Once he lifted her, she kissed his cheek, as cute as she was. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead, carrying her towards the kitchen, to celebrate the little girl's first birthday. It was a big thing for her, even though she might not realise what was happening exactly. But he hoped she would like it. As he approached Amanda, Emi smiled widely and readhed out for her, cuddling close to her mummy. Niels smiled wider, beginning to sing in a soft voice. It sure was a happy day for his little Princess... She was one, a new step in her life!

As Niels looked at Emi with a smile, he was greeted by an excited "dada". There it was again, the little word his daughter had learned right before his birthday. It was amazing, how quickly his daughter grew up, how quickly she sucked up things around her. He already noticed she was sometimes trying to imitate sounds she was hearing around her, something which she began doing more and more frequently. And Niels thought it was incredibly cute.
Niels lifted his little girl, kissing her nose. She was growing big and strong, her limbs developing more and more. She was beginning to take steps on her own, with the help of a little present she had received. But the longer the more, she managed to stay upright on her own before falling again, and she was cute when she did. As Niels walked through the house with her, she looked at the door of Niels and Amanda's bedroom, muttering: "Mama..." It caused Niels to smile, because Emi already knew where her mummy was. But her asking for Amanda meant she would probably begin resisting and fussing soon, because she wanted to be with her mummy as well. So Niels walked into the bedroom quietly, walking over to Amanda, who was sleeping blissfully. He put Emi on the bed carefully, keeping one eye on her, wile she was babbling happily. One look at Amanda made it clear to him she could hear the babbling, either that or she was having a nice dream. Niels bent over to her, gently pressing his lips to hers before whispering: "Wake up mummy, there's a cute little girl here who wants to see you.. |
