Happy Happy Birthday!!!

Wellllllll...... IT happened. Just like I said it would. TODAY. This little baby turns ONE! I can't hardly believe it, and for sure can't stand it. I tried really hard not to shed any tears as I put her to bed the night before the "big day". I failed. So, I played with her on the ground for a little while instead of putting her straight to her crib. That helped stop the tears. She is truly the sweetest little baby. She has so much to say in her little babbling language, and even a little bit of English ;) Right now she says "H-III!" to everyone she sees, even her dolls/toys. It is so cute! She blows kisses, walks when she feels like it, is constantly coming over to lay her head down on me for a quick little snuggle, and and my favorite thing she does is says "MMMMM!!!" Any time I'm holding her and we walk past the pantry, or whenever anyone else has food, she is mmmmm-ing. It is SO cute! She has been the perfect addition to our family. Lauren & Hallie love her so much...and she couldn't love them more. She gets so excited to see her Dad & will even say Dadda if she sees him or his picture.
My life is full of people I love, especially in my home. I am amazed daily how lucky I am to be blessed with my girls & my husband. Today is the day to celebrate Ella....and so we will! Off to PARTY and kiss those little cheeks!!! Happy Birthday to our sweet little Ella!

She is so adorable! I understand the bittersweet feelings of your baby growing up. Mine turned 6 months yesterday, and I had a hard time not being sad too. Have a fun day with your sweet baby!
