Jessi Smiles Instagram – Swipe to see what happens when you try to get your baby to smash a cake past their bed time 🤣 my queenie is 1 year old today! The feeling in my heart is so hard to describe. There’s a certain heaviness that comes with watching your last baby grow out of being a baby. My friend once told me that they stop smelling like babies once they turn 1. I never believed her until it happened to Noah. That baby smell left and he became a big kid before I knew it…so I find myself just smelling her head and wanting time to freeze so desperately. I love my babies so much. And although they’ll always be my babies, they won’t always be babies. My heart is both broken and overjoyed in understanding that. Parenthood is a mess lmao. But happy birthday, Amélie. You have truly completed our family. You are such a strong and beautiful soul and I’m grateful to be your mommy. 💛
