Things around this house

Hello my dearest Ella,
You are fast asleep and so I write to you. Today was a beautiful day. On my days off the thing I look forward to the most is the mornings, the one thing I miss the most when I'm at work. I love picking you up as you rub your eyes, and your already so full of energy happy to see me. You give me a little hug and we go back to our bed and I nurse you a little as I close my eyes and doze a little more. Poppa usually sleeps in so this morning I brought you with me to the kitchen as I had my cup of coffee and made breakfast. I want to expand your tastes so I decided to make a healthy egg scramble with all kinds of yummy veggies like yellow peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and basil. I added some turkey and cheddar too and it turned out so good! I have you a plum while it cooled down because you were pretty hungry and you ate a good amount. We also watched sesame street and played in the living room.
Yeya got you a couch your size and you love it. You brush your teeth in it, climb all over it and read books in it. You also like to push it around the living room, such a cute sight!
Lately you've been very attached to me, you follow me everywhere! Sometimes you get frustrated because I go back and forth around the house and you can't keep up and get tired.
I see you mimicking my little behaviors and you even want to put your own shoes on. It amazes me how quickly you catch on to everything both poppa and I do. You even have your own language which sadly only you understand. But lucky for you, poppa and I usually pick up on your hand gestures and points. It's so cute and soon enough you'll replace those made up words with real ones.
Yesterday Carmen came over and brought pictures she took at your birthday party. They were so beautiful, we were speechless with how beautifully she captured such an important day. She even had a few pics of the day you were born. Poppa got teary eyed and it really put into perspective how fleeting and precious time is. That's why no matter how tired I am, I always come up with the energy to give you plenty of hugs and kisses. And even if you want me to read you the same book over 30 times, I gladly do it, because I know how quickly the moment can pass.
I want you to always remember to do the same, not just with your own children but in life. Don't ever let the moment pass you, opportunities to make someone's day or make someone's day better don't come by everyday. I always wonder to myself if I'm giving you too much affection or love but how can that be possible? You're such a thriving, happy baby! And isn't that what all babies want, to be loved and cared for? That's what we all thrive on.
I'm off to bed now, but I know the rest of our summer days will only get better and better! Love you, momma.
