She then admitted: "But it was the best feeling ever watching her run into daddy's arms so excited to show him her new found freedom, I felt like I got to watch it twice seeing Joe get to experience that moment for the first time was just the best.
"I honestly can not get my head around the fact that she will be one next week. Time is flying by and our baby girl is growing so fast… We love you our darling Rose, to the moon and stars and back again little pickle."
