Mama I am

Look at you growing! At your 6month check-up, you've doubled your birth weight! 14 lbs even.

Dear Ellie,
I have always loved you. But I am liking you more and more...

You have been so different from your sister from the start. You are far less snuggly, which makes your neck strength impressive with always preferring to look around when being held, but makes my heart feel a bit unneeded as your comforting mother. But, two nights ago, when you were doing your usual "Mmm Mmm Mmm" moans before falling asleep, I stopped what I was doing & listened... And then I heard it.
"Mmm Mmm Mmm Mamma Mammammama Mammama..."


I could have just woken you right up then to bug you & hold you!!!! It made my day, my week! I remember from when your sister was your age that you don't exactly have the association to what that sound means. But you will. And until then I will adore you from as close as you will allow and soak up these precious moments of little you.

Love, Your Mamma :)
