This is a nice post to do each month because it gives me some time to stop and examine all the things that are wonderful, unique and amazing about our daughter. The countdown to 2 has begun whether we are ready or not! I have asked Ellasen several times what kind of birthday party she would like this year. Most of the time she says an Ice Cream Cone Birthday Party! Some of her other responses have been Elmo, bubbles, bunny rabbits, diapers, etc. I think I may have to make an executive decision and go with the ice cream cone theme. Stay tuned on that one. She continues to amaze us with how much she understands her world, how many words/phrases she knows and how physically capable she is. We are blessed, grateful and humbled that she is ours. I think it every day (multiple times), but sometimes it is nice to send up a praise in a little more formal and public fashion. Tim and I, now more than ever, are realizing how grown up she is and how fast the time really does fly. We are so thankful she belongs to us!
