Emilia is 2

Emilia Grace Chan is 2 today.  I remember the night she came into the world so well. Born at 2:27am, Emmy or Empem (as we like to call her) was 6 pounds, 12 ounces and 49 cm long. Vince and I were so excited to have a baby girl join our family.  It was an intense and painful back labor but it was well worth it when they placed her soft, tiny, and wrinkly body onto mine.

Last night, I was holding her tight and trying to remember her days as a baby....and not wanting her grow up any faster.  Turning 2 seems like such a big milestone!  She was such an easy going baby that it's hard to believe that she's turning into a spunky toddler who exerts herself through making everyone laugh and at times, growling like a dinosaur to get attention.  She just adores her older brothers and tries her best to keep up with their shenanigans.  

 

Some of Miss E's faves...

Fave food:  Chinese!
Fave character:  Elmo

Fave book:  Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle

Must haves for night time sleep:  Elmo blankie, Elmo, and a ton of books.  How does she sleep in the crib with so much stuff?

I love it when....
-she asks for a kiss in between the crib rails at bedtime

-jumps up and down excitedly when I come home from work

-she shows her nurturing side by taking care of her stuffies and/or babies

-she pretends to tuck me into bed

-she makes daddy pretend he's a baby and wipes his bum!

 

The last picture really captures Emmy's silly side.  She took out many towels and placed them carefully on top of Rylee :)  Thankfully, our dog withstands all the fun tortures from our kiddies!

Happy 2nd birthday, Emilia!!  You are so loved!!!
