Is it normal to be obsessed with your child? I think so. Does Ellie still drive me crazy..YES! Am I still completely obsessed with her....YES! It's crazy how a child can drive you so crazy one moment, then melt your heart the next. Also I don't know if anyone could have prepared me for having to discipline a child. I don't feel like I can as freely use the "she is just a baby" excuse. The reality is she is growing up, and gets smarter and more mischievous each day! Her actions are so much more deliberate now. The way she will just bolt away from me when I ask her to come, or throw a fit over who knows what! These little emotional creatures SIGH!
Lets just talk about a few of the things I am obsessed with though:
The fact that she is learning a new word just about every day.
Her dance moves....it's hard to describe but it's the best!
The way she pats my back when she gives me a hug.
Her kisses she gives at random.
The fact that she is friendly to everyone and waves and blows kisses to all of them.
The smacking sound she makes while eating
The way she always wants to be covered by a blanket when laying on the couch.
How she yells for me or Jared when she is ready to get up.
Her fear of bugs, the shear terror that comes from a fly getting in the house.
(yet she loves "A Bugs Life")
Her love of bubbles
The way she plays with Rosie
The way she wears her sunglasses (everywhere)
I'm sure I could go on but I digress. Now here is a picture overload of Ellie.
My mom made Ellie a dress for her birthday. It was adorable and warranted it's own photo shoot.
Jared took all of these, they are amazingly beautiful as usual!
