It has been the fastest year of my life. A year ago, I gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl I've ever seen. She celebrated her birthday with a Little Mermaid themed party with friends and family in Boise. We visited the Tri Cities this past weekend, and celebrated her birthday on her actual birthday (April 13) with Grammy and Papa Cornett, Aunt Kristen and Uncle David, and her cousin Cassidy. Ellie was spoiled by all of her birthday gifts! She got plenty of clothes, toys, and books. Thank you to everyone!
Ellie just loved being with her cousin Cassidy. She would give her lots of hugs and kisses. Cassidy didn't really know what to think of her, but eventually warmed up to Ellie. It was really sweet to watch them play together.
Some fun Ellie facts!
- Hugs and kisses are something you can expect from Ellie. She is such a loving little girl. I love getting sloppy wet kisses and having her little arms wrap around me. Amazing!
- Ellie loves to eat. She eats pretty much anything you give her. Cheese, crackers, bread, and yogurt are just a few of her favorite things to snack on.
- Ellie loves to read her books.
- I love to hear her little voice. She talks non stop....
- She walks everywhere, and is almost running... watch out mama!
- She loves to dance to her music or any music for that matter. It is sooo cute. She bounces up and down and wiggles her little butt :) I will have to post a video!
- We go to the doctor for her 1 year check up next week and I am looking forward to seeing how much she has grown since her last appointment. According to our scale, she weighs about 19 lbs.
- Ellie loves her stuffed animals and dolls. She gives her baby doll hugs and kisses :)
It is crazy how fast time goes by. I love this little girl more than anything and I look forward to more adventures with her. We have been blessed beyond words!
