Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Ella Grace! You are such a joy to me. You have an infectious smile and bring many blessings to me and others through your personality. You are too cute for words, and have made me a stronger and better person. I love you deeply!

Here is a brief re-cap of Ella's first year of life.

Month:
  1. Sleep? Keeping my food down? These things are unnecessary!
  2. I still don't understand why everyone thinks sleeping and keeping my food down is a big deal. But I will smile and enjoy bouncing with mommy and daddy.
  3. I cut my first tooth! It then proceeded to go back down. Darn! Maybe next month.
  4. Sink baths are the greatest & I also love bouncing in my rainforest!
  5. Meh-meh-meh-mama, mmmmmmmmmehmmmmmmmmehmama
  6. I can roll over! And it is tons of fun! Falling off mom and dad's bed- not so much fun. I also got to meet my Aunt Christina for the first time!
  7. My two bottom teeth came in! These things are not as great as everyone cracks them up to be- do you realize how much they hurt?!
  8. I. Love. Peek-a-boo.
  9. I can crawl! And, I can also pull things off the shelves- SUPER FUN!
  10. I climbed the stairs on my ten month birthday. I also took my first steps this month! I also figured out this talking thing is kind of fun! De-da-da, de-da-da
  11. My mom decided teaching me "no" would be a good idea this month. I'm not too keen on that idea, so good thing I have the world's cutest smile. ;) I also got to meet my Uncle Quint & Aunt Chelsey this month!
  12. I have this walking thing mastered- Mom can barely keep up with me....mwahahaha! I currently have 7 teeth and weigh just over 18 pounds. I am a lean mean running machine!
