5.5 plus some






























 Oh hi Ella! 

You have grown a ton in your 5th year! I think you’re going to be our tallest child. You’ve grown out of all your pants. Also, you’ve grown incredibly sweet. You are constantly writing everyone little love notes and creating cool little things out of paper to give to us. I love them so much and try to keep as many of them as I can. You’re also so sweet to make our bed and clean up the play room without being asked. You are in kindergarten now and doing so well! Your teacher says you’re incredibly kind and make friends easily. You were a little hesitant about PE at first, but you’ve been facing your fears and getting braver each week. We started swimming lessons again and you’re wonderful! You jumped to the second level very quickly. You pick things up fast! I love what a goof ball you are. You are always making us laugh. You are very observant and aware of everything going on around you. One thing I love about you is your communication skills! Sheesh, you’re good at communicating! Whenever you’re frustrated, sad, mad you always say mom can we talk and then you tell me everything that’s bothering you. We make a solution together and then you’re right back at what you were doing. You and will are the best of buds. He absolutely adores you. You are so sweet with him and let him play with you even when you’d rather not. You two are always giggling and wrestling. I love watching you two together. You’re such a wonderful sister to grace and help her when she’s feeling down. You two will be a great strength to each other throughout the years. This year for Halloween you were a police officer and you looked amazing. You still have a love for cars and police. I love watching you play. You have the biggest imagination and can play on your own for hours. You love candy! Especially suckers, gummies, hard candy. Not so much chocolate and baked desserts. After lunch you always ask for two small treats. I love our afternoon snuggles and reading time. Ella you are a bright wonderful person and I’m honored to be your mom. 

Xoxo Mom

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...
