Baby, baby, baby!

Baby Ella...today was a photo session day! I can't help it, you're face is just too precious not to capture every second of the day. You've been giving Mommy and Daddy a little bit of a break at night ( although the night before was a toughie, you had bubbles in your tummy that wouldn't let you rest). These past two days you've been waking up talking & happy, its the best way to wake up! I love hearing you cooing & babbling...you're already amazing us! I've started putting rattles & toys in your hands, but you don't care much for any kind of distractions, you're perfectly happy staring at the ceiling fan! 

I love these pictures I took of you today, and of course being the proud momma that I am, I just had to send them out to everyone! And everyone said you were beautiful & growing so quickly...and you are. Which makes me so happy, happy to see you're so healthy & joyous. I had so many moments while I was carrying you inside, where I worried that something was wrong, like any normal mommy would, but it looks like we did a good job. 
On the other hand, I want to be selfish & keep you this size forever. You fit perfectly in my arms & you stare at me forever, and even though I know its inevitable, I just want the calm, cuddly moments to last and last. But when I turn and look at the clock, its already 5pm and the day is almost gone. What can we do Ella bear? I just gotta take in every moment with you, which is why I never wanna put you down. One day I'll see you walking & one day you may think you're too cool for mommies kisses & cuddles, but lets keep those days far, far away. Lets banish the days of hissy fits, crushes & the teen years altogether! 

I love you my little Ella bear! -Mommy
