My baby girl. Half Birthday. Personal.

Yesterday on Instagram I reposted a quote. “Love people while they are here.” I am determined to live by this, and love fiercely. Life is not certain, but I know I want to be a greater presence with those that I love. I will celebrate every birthday and half birthday. With that, “Happy 1/2 Birthday Ellie!” My daughter’s half year celebration seemed to come a lot sooner then my son’s. Maybe because I’m ten times busier. Ay, ya, yai!

My daughter is beautiful and I love her with all my heart (we all do). She is very observant, always watching and listening. She is calm (thank goodness because her brother was a whole different story). Her giggles are endless while she watches her brother jump on the bed (like a monkey…Double Ay!).  Her little tongue slithers out like a snake when she is feeling silly. Her coos sounds like she is saying “mama” and “hi”. She makes us laugh every time she grabs her toes while we change her. She makes her brother crack up with her “pedos” which is quickly followed by her brother’s “Excuse me.” Just like her brother, she’s not a fan of tummy time. Like her Dada, she can sleeps like a log while there’s a party going on. And like her mama, she has to hold something to fall asleep. Currently, her choice of  stuffed animal is my son’s Simba. When I was a baby up until I was a toddler, I had a “raggie” (which is an old cut up piece of cloth) that was literally my security blanket. Oh like mother like daughter. She enjoys sitting…well at least for a few minutes at a time, then plop! She really wants to eat food, bad. Every time we are eating dinner she tries to grab our cups, forks, you name it-she’s ready! Later today she will finally get to join us for dinner as she will try solids for the first time. We are blessed that she has entered our hearts and family. We love her and she loves us.

Happy 1/2 Birthday my dear! Mama loves you!
