To my precious daughter,
Today you are two months old, already! I can't believe you have already been here 2 months. Sadly, I feel like I have missed part of your earlier days here since we couldn't have you in our home right away. We know that the nicu nurses and friends were angels on this earth as they sweetly cared for you for those first 6 weeks. But thankfully you are home now! We rejoice each day that you are here! As your mother I want you to know that you have already taught me how to have a faith that depends on nothing but the truth. You are such a sweet baby. When I get to hold you in the midst of our crazy days, when your 22 month old big brother is sleeping- I love your cuddle time and the heart you have to love on your mommy and daddy already. You love to be held. There is nothing like our sweet little ellie. You are working on taking your bottles. It is still really hard for you to get your full volume down within a 30 minute time- but every cc you take we cheer you on and are so proud of you. This world wants us to all be cookie cutters and all do everything on the same timing. You are Ellie- and we are so thankful for who you are and the way you've taught us how to trust. Every time I hear the song- "for your glory I was made to bring you honor to give you praise."- I think of you b/c you are such a peaceful child and such a joy to us all.
Things you are doing: You love your nuck passy- absolutely love it! You are a great sleeper- you are already sleeping from 2 am until 7:30ish already! You could be held all day long- the minute you go into someone arms you cuddle closely to them and out you go..snooze! I love your new little noises of coo's and grunts are precious. When we talk in a high toned voice to you a lot of times you'll smile and big gummy smile! You are looking us in the eyes now and tracking objects. You aren't a fan of tummy time yet, but we still try and few times a day to strengthen your tummy, neck, and head. You're favorite part of your day is from 7:30 pm on when brother is asleep and you have mommy and daddy's attention and you get to take your bubble bath! You are like your mommy- you love your nightly bubble baths. Daddy talks about your long eye lashes already and how beautiful you are. Your eye lashes make you look so girly! We love you so much sweet girl.
I wish I could capture some of my days right now and hold them forever. I am enjoying being a mom to two so much. It's crazy busy and the days are full- but I love it. I sometimes can't get a shower, or get dressed until graham takes his daily nap- but our mornings are full of mommy time. Thank you God for blessing me with these two gifts- they teach me more about myself and how to love, forgive, be patience, and be selfless- thank you!
