EllieLu, my darling daughter.

I keep thinking you've maxed out your "cuteness" then another day surprises me with a few new words you've put together, an eagerness to help, a simple kind gesture towards your sister, or those darned beautifully long eyelashes grow--what seems like--another inch.

You make me laugh, frustrate me, and melt my heart all in a matter of seconds.

You are so very very very Loved.

And your life is a complete blessing to me and our family.

We are so glad you are ours!!!

I was going through some recent pictures and found a few of my favorites to share with the world on your 2nd birthday (yesterday)....

Nothing but an "E" thang baby.

Sweeter than sweet!

This is the quirky smile given lately when asked to smile, with your teeth.

It's adorably forceful.

Oh Ellie Belly Lu-Lu,

Your Momma Loves You Oh-So-Very-Very-Very Much!!!!!

Can't wait to see what year TWO brings us!!
