It feels so weird to be saying that our baby girl is 18 months old. That means we are six months from her 2nd Birthday...I can't even believe it. There are so many things that Ella is doing now. She seems to amaze us more and more everyday. She is our little stinker for sure and a mommy's girl. Robbie thinks it will change over time. We will see about that one..
Other than Robbie and I getting over the fact that our baby is getting big. We are doing great. It's baseball season so we are super super busy and still manage to make time for one another. Not sure how it's happening but I'm just going to roll with it. Robbie has decided this year not to coach for the Bulls. So that means Ella and I get more time with Daddy. Who is going to complain about that one? We have so many things planned to do this summer. Were talking about going to Houston to see our friends and plan on taking Ella to her first Cubs game. Daddy is still smiling..:-) We have many planned trips to the Zoo, park and of course many trips to Memo and Papo's house to swim. We love that Daddy is going to be home with us...

Of course I could go on and on. Ella is getting to big to fast. We both just treasure every minute we have with her. I don't want to miss a thing.. Unconditional love is just amazing. Who ever thought we could love so much?
