Emilyn turns 5!

Emilyn turns 5!

Our little Emilyn is 5!  Lately we've been realizing that she all of a sudden seems bigger.  She is a little girl now, instead of a toddler like we still imagine her to be.  She still cries when we tell her no, loves to snuggle, loves to go on bike rides and play with friends, snuggle her blanket and suck her fingers, do puzzles and play games, eat treats and watch shows.  I love that she is so ready to be big, and so excited about learning and starting kindergarten next year, but still our little baby.  She is full of personality, makes us laugh, and keeps us busy!
