28 months





















Sorry Ella we missed a few months but all is well. Let’s just say we love having you as part of our family. You are definitely the hardest child, but also one of the sweetest. You keep me on my toes and your teaching me all about patience and long suffering. I'm finishing this post on October 13th, 2019, so you're a little over 2 1/2 now Ella! I'm reading the above part of what I wrote a few months ago and I must say, you've calmed down a little bit. You've figured out how to communicate better and don't get as angry. You're still having a difficult time forming words, so we are starting an early intervention program with you tomorrow! Hopefully they'll be able to help you figure out talking a little bit better.We just love you so much and can't imagine our family without you. At your wellness checkup, you did so well! I think it really helped for you to see sister getting a checkup at the same time. You didn't even cry during your shot. I was very impressed. You are in the 50% for height and weight, just the perfect little lady. You've recently become obsessed with the car wash and ask to go get one every day. Let's say my car has never been cleaner. The funny part is you cover your eyes the second we pull in and look pretty concerned for most of it. You still have a love for good food, cars and dresses. You will chooses to wear a dress everyday and have an opinion on which one you want to wear. I love that about you. At night you and I sing This Little Light of Mine, you've got the shine parts down. You love being like your older sister, currently your favorite thing to do is put on her school shoes and backpack and walk around the house pretending to go to school. You get super excited whenever we drive past her school and make sure I acknowledge the fact that we're driving past it. You hate to be ignored (don't we all, but especially you.) You will repeat me name over and over until I am giving you my full attention. Thank you for helping me work on my listening skills. You are amazing and playing on your own, not so much with others, but you're getting better. You recently decided that you hate nursery and don't go in there anymore. We're going to have to fix that. You still have a good appetite. And currently love taking baths. You're passionate, loving, intense, and the most beautiful little red head I've ever seen. I love you little baby.

Basically 8

 Ella! I can’t believe you're almost 8. For some reason you are the one child that I can’t believe is getting so big. I just feel like it was yesterday that you were so tiny cuddling in my arms and now when I hold you, you aren’t so little anymore. But holding you is still my favorite thing. I’ll keep holding you like a baby as long as you’ll let me.  You are such a creative person. You are always coloring, making cards/notes, painting. I just love watching you be so creative.  I’ve been volunteering in your class and it’s been so fun to see you with your friends. You have so many good friends and everyone loves you. Your teachers rave about you too. They say you are so kind, a good listener and a very hard worker. You really are an incredibly hard worker. You have improved with reading, speaking and school so much. You had wonderful grades this past semester. I’m so proud of you.  You have the best imagination. I love that you still play with your cars and drive the...

3 Months

I am loving 3 months. You are the cutest baby. I know everyone says that about their babies, but seriously you are the cutest. I told dad the other day that I'm obsessed with you and want a thousand more babies because of you.We just got back from taking you on your very first trip to Anna Maria. I could travel everyday with you! You made it that easy. Thanks Ella. I joke that you were like me emotional support animal. Ha. I don't really like airplanes, they make me nervous. But having you glued to me the entire trip actually helped me feel more calm inside. You ate an slept the whole time, no time for nonsense like crying. I changed all your diapers on my lap, minus one poopy one that dad so graciously offered to change in the tiny bathroom. Bless his heart. We survived Universal Studios together as well. We became the best of buds those two days. While everyone else was on the rides, you and I were chilling in the baby swap room. My favorite was when we scoped out the gift sh...

8 Months

TODAY is your 8 Month birthday, and poor thing, you're sick. You are handling it like a champ though. I tried as hard as I could to keep you well, but your dear sister brought home a cold and the rest is history. You are still the happiest little soul, even if you are sick. These past 8 months with you have been blissful. You are a special little person, with a beautiful personality. I just LOVE being around you. You don't say much, but if smiles could talk! You have the biggest smile and are constantly giving it. Your sister still gets the most smiles and laughs though. You absolutely adore her, and vice versa. You two are going to move mountains together. You balance each other out and compliment each other perfectly. I've loved watching your relationship bloom. This past week, your two bottom teeth came in! I was so proud to see them poking through! I didn't even know you were teething because you were still the sweetest, most agreeable baby. We've been introdu...
