Almost 5

 Hi Ella Bella 

Well, it's been a bit since I've written last. I can't believe how big you're getting. It seems like yesterday you were a little baby. This has been such a fun year to watch you grow. You really have developed a lot of personality. You are FUNNY and GOOFY. You make me laugh a lot. You have the BEST imagination, you could play for hours by yourself. My favorite thing to do is listen to you play, you come up with the best play stories. This year I've been your preschool teacher and I've just loved the extra time with you. Next year, you'll be headed to kindergarten and I'll be missing you very much. You love to eat, especially snack, a typical morning for you is, Shack, eggs, trail mix, cinnamon toast, cheese and crackers, yogurt or some kind of fruit. I think you have a super fast metabolism, because you could basically eat all day. I love your love for food. You are such an obedient girl and love to help out around the house. My favorite is when you sneak into my room and make my bed. You're so proud of yourself and you can tell that it makes you feel really good inside. You're independent and love to walk up to the door of your music class all by yourself. I always roll down my window though and tell you how much I love you and see you later alagator  and you respond with in awhile crocodile. Makes my mommy heart burst every time. I love watching you feel big and independent. Then when you get done with your class, you run to the car and hang onto the passenger seat door while we talk through the window. It's a memory I never want to forget.

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...

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...
