LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jenna Ushkowitz is enjoying her role as a mother. The ‘Glee’ star recently celebrated her ‘little earth angel’ 1st birthday and posted a picture with her daughter Emma. In her Friday Instagram post, June 2, she captioned, “Our little earth angel is one!! I’m not crying, you’re crying.” Ushkowitz shared multiple photos, and further wrote, “It’s hard to describe how these first 365 days were simultaneously the fastest and slowest, ever.”
“It has been the thrill of our lives watching Emma grow from a breech-born, scrunchy newborn into a beautiful, curious, joyous toddler that fills every day, no matter how hard or challenging it is, with so much happiness,” the star said. The 37-year-old star said while talking about her little one: “Emma has found her voice and loves to use it. There’s no plate Emma won’t lick clean, and her little belly laugh is contagious. Her dancing looks like she is furiously nodding her head, NO, but in fact, she is just vibing with those Elmo tunes.”
'The most profound moment of my life'
Ushkowitz also talked about her new life after Emma’s arrival, “Becoming Emma’s Mom has been the most profound moment of my life to date and has put my purpose & life in sharp perspective. It has forced me to slow down in every way, appreciate the smallest moments knowing how fleeting this all is, and how to prioritize my time and find clarity in what really matters,” reports People.
'I'm also learning'
The proud mother also constantly wants to improve and be good to her daughter, “I'm also learning how I can continue to take care of myself, speak kindly to my body and self, because undoubtedly, how I see myself directly reflects how she will learn to love herself and find her self-worth. Happy Birthday, sweet sweet Emma. We love you more than anything,” she concluded the tribute post.
The South Korean native shares Emma with her husband David Stanley in June 2022, as she announced the arrival on social media, "Our hearts have burst wide open."
In her earlier introductory post for her daughter, she wrote, "I want to continue sharing my journey as a mother on here, and your kindness and incredible support thus far has meant the world … so please meet our little girl, Emma."
