Dearest sweet baby girl!

You are seven months old! I feel like these last 7 months have been somewhat of a fog, and have flown by! I am so blessed to have you and your fun big brother to share life with. He adores you! You are starting to look for him in the room and if you hear his voice and spot him, your gummy smile shines so bright. He makes you laugh when he dances for you, or simple gives you a big bear, hugs and kisses. We love seeing the protection he already has for you. Now that you are on a good nap schedule, sometimes you have a harder time falling asleep than others. So to comfort you we like to turn on your crib musical toy. You know when that music comes on, it's night night time. So if you are fussy and your brother hears you- he now wants to "help sister." So he runs to your bed and finds the music button on the back of your crib toy and pushed it with complete excitement because he is helping u not be upset. You do then calm down and fall asleep.

Ellie- you are a sweet cuddle bug! You love being held! You are for sure getting heavy and bigger each day! You are 7 months and already in 9 month clothing. This makes us so happy! Everywhere we go, people say you are a healthy little love. Your heart and personality is starting to show. I think you are going to have your daddy's temperament. You are very laid back, love to smile constantly, and like to just sit in a room with others and watch what's going on! Everyone that is with you says you are such a peaceful little baby. I couldn't ask for more!

You have given your dad and I so much to really count our blessings in life. As your mommy it's neat to know that even though you are such a little tiny baby- how you have taught me more about faith than anything in my life. You have taught me that this world is ohhhh so short, how precious the small joys in life are, and how to celebrate our those with completely rejoicing, and how to be content with what today holds. Thank you baby girl. I never want to be a mom that has all the answers to everything at all times. I am going through this journey of life too! One of my favorite things you are doing right now is...if we come close to you...you reach for our face, hair, finger, anything u can grab and when you get it----you kick with excitement and do you sweet laugh....your dad and I of course love it! Sweet love!!!! You have recently found your voice and your feet, you love pulling your feet to your face...I love seeing all your changes!

Happy 7 months little el bell!
