18 months- wow!  where did this time go?  miss ellie- you have for sure given us a run for our money-no doubt.  But, let me tell you- as your mommy- I am overjoyed and delighted to call you my little girl.  Your smile lights up anyones days, strengthens anyone heart, you forgive brother for taking toys faster than anything, you give all day long, your giggle delights us all, your face gives us hope that Jesus is so real!  Your dad and I joke now, b/c through this hard feeding battle, now that babyfood is your love- we fight over who feeds you now- it's so exciting to see you eat with total pleasure!  You love to play with all toys, but a basket full of small toys that can be dumped out and then put back into the basket- your game to play! Today as we were playing on the floor all of the sudden i left something on my back.  It was you- you were pulling up on my shirt- so i turned around and there you were reaching up for me.  I said, " baby what is it?"  With your big smile you reached again- I picked you up and you just planted your head in my shoulder- you just needed a big long hug- and so did i!  thank you for your precious soul and love miss ellie!
