Whew...

Well...she's a 30lber now! We had her 2 year check up last week...and she looks great. She's 34 1/2 inches tall...so we're creeping in on that 3 feet pretty quickly. She's already in 3T jeans...they're just a touch too long...but her 2T jeans are looking short already. The nurse practitioner was beyond impressed at her language abilities...as we were talking Ellie looked over and said, "oh...there's a sheep on the wall"...wow. that's a big sentence for a little girl! Anywhoo...nothing but good things to say about her and they told us to keep doing what we're doing...and to keep reading to her :) I think she'll go for that. Every night..."read stories?"...yup...we'll read that book I have memorized once again :) We love it and wouldn't change it for anything.

Other news...getting some work done on my business front...so that's keeping me from blogging lately...and keeping me from posting my 365 pics on time. But I promise...I'll get better :) I have a maternity photo shoot next weekend that fingers crossed will go well outside in the elements. Freakish cold blast this week...so hopefully by next week we'll be good to go.

Not too much else going on...we're dog sitting tonight cuz our good friends had their first baby tonight!! They had a boy...and we're so so happy for them!! Don't get me started on how cute and squishy that baby looked...makes my uterus hurt just thinking about it ;) LOL...ok...I'll end on that note!! :)

Happy 2nd Birthday Ellie!

She's 2 years old. I can't believe it. Where did it go? Amazing to think back to the day she was born. We were a hot mess. And M didn't know if Eleanor & I were going to be ok. He was left standing by himself in the recovery room while I was whisked off for an emergency c-section. That was the most terrifying moment of my life. But look at us now. 2 years later...and we have a 2 year old. She's so smart...and comes up with the funniest stuff every day. I see myself in her more and more...even though everyone still says she looks just like M. I think she has some of my personalities...and it's funny to see them in a little person. She gets frustrated...but she's learning to take a deep breath...and try again. :)

Oh my Elliecakes...I love you SO much...and am so blessed to have you in my life. Happy 2nd Birthday angel girl!!

Love Mommy.

YIkes!

It's almost been a month since I last posted over here!! I knew that would happen...I'd get all busy with my 365 blog...and forget about posting here too. Well...I'm back :)

We had a great 2nd birthday party this past weekend. It was all about Minnie Mouse. Here's a few pictures from the day...



We had a great time with family and got lots of great new toys to destroy the house with :)
