The joys of being 2...


For some reason it still doesn't seem real to us. Our sweet baby is 2....Ella is changing more and more everyday. It seems like every time I pick her up from Reva's she is doing/saying something new. It's truly amazing the little things she picks up on. Like on Monday when I picked her up she was jumping in the air and then falling to the ground saying " watch me mommy". I think we might have a future cheerleader. Daddy will be so so happy I'm sure.
Robbie, Ella and I have been truly having so much fun together. Not that we haven't always, it's just different now that Ella is getting older. Every night it seems like were playing in Ella's playroom, or chasing each other around the house until it's time to take baths and go to bed. The memories that we have shared the past couple months have just been over the top. Ella's memory box is going to be over flowing by the time she is 18. ;)
