Happy 1st Birthday my little sweets!!

My dear sweet Ella Isabel,

Tomorrow you are turning one year old. It seems like just yesterday I felt your kicks inside my tummy and wondered how much longer I would wait for your impending arrival. You were born 5 weeks and 1 day early. You were 5 lbs 10 oz., 18 ¼ “ long with blonde hair that had waves. You were absolute pink perfection! The time has absolutely flown by and I cannot believe tomorrow you will be 1 year old.

You have a smile that warms a strangers heart and a giggle that is infectious. Your blue eyes are captivating and sparkle with a sense of joy, intelligence and love. You are truly amazing. You love to climb and bounce and play. You will find your brother and sister where ever they are and play with them with fervor. And not a one of you seem to notice that you are only a mere 12 months old, you all play so nicely and have the best time.

You are a good eater, with your 5 teeth and all! You love pasta, veggies, chicken, bread, cheese, and brownies! You love to sing and dance with music and you have even started to whistle! It is a breathy little whistle, but whistling nonetheless, so crazy seeing your tiny self whistling like that! When praise music comes on you will lift your hands to the sky and worship, so precious.

You say a lot of words, one of the cutest is “Uh Oh!” when you see a mess or right before you drop something. You still like to snuggle into me and pat me or stroke my face. You are a great sleeper and still take 2 naps a day. You love to swing outside and lift your face to the wind and feel the breeze in your hair. Anytime I touch my hair, you will reach up and rub your tiny hand on your own little head. You are so cute the way you try to copy the things we do.

You are not walking on your own yet, but you stand up by yourself in the middle of the room, then you laugh so hard you never seem to be able to take a step.
Yet.
You will walk soon sweet girl, of this I know.

I always dreamed of a day when the Lord would give daddy and I three children. I always hoped it’d be so.
You made our lives complete little girl and you have brought sincere joy to our days and smiles to our lips.
Your tiny kisses and sweet sweet face make me so happy to be your Mama.

You are my little Ella Isabel Lovey!

Happy 1st birthday my sweets!

Love,
Mama
