Happy Birthday…

Happy 2 Birthday Ella Rae!

We love you so much! You are an amazingly smart, funny, playful, crazy, loving little girl. I can’t believe you are already 2 years old! We have loved watching you learn and grow. You can say so many new words and you are a great eater, always trying new foods! You love to help Mommy cook and do laundry and you also help feed and walk Kiya. Bath time is one of your favorite activities and you like to have Daddy and Mommy wrap you up in your towel and hold you like a baby. Then, at bedtime we have to have a big family hug and give lots of kisses, in and out of the crib! We ‘tuck tuck tuck’ you in, give you your lovey and run out haha only to hear you yelling for Mommy and then tucking your babies in and telling them night night. You have really started to like characters from TV shows like Curious George and Elmo. You have also developed a little relationship with books :) We see you reading to your babies and picking out multiple books to be read before bed! You give so much joy to everyone around you! YOU are our little Blueberry, Doodlebug, Miss Thing, Baby Girl, Ella Bella, Precious, Ella Rae! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Love, Mommy

FIGHT FOR PREEMIES

Image
Today, November 17, is Prematurity Awareness Day! This cause is near and dear to my heart because our sweet Ella Rae was born 6 weeks premature. We were definitely on the upper side of the 'premature spectrum' so to speak, as many babies are born waaay earlier. We did, however, spend 14 days in the NICU after Ella's birth. It was a whirlwind to say the least. Did you know that 1 out of 8 babies are born premature? And the amount of premature births has risen 30% since 1981. That means too many babies are coming early and too many parents have to endure the unknown of their child being born prematurely. Today is a day to fight for those babies and families. In honor of Premature Awareness Day, I thought I would share some pictures of Ella Rae's Birth. The very first photo ever taken of Ella Rae. Kelly took this picture through the door when they were evaluating Ella right after she came out. A few minutes later they allowed Kelly in the room. Of course that left me alone

What's YOUR song?

Today I am joining Goodnight Moon's link up party where we share a song. It's no secret that we (Ella Rae and I) are fans of Justin Bieber and I absolutely love this song of his. He is only 17, but he's got a wonderful heart and donates a lot of money and time to many different charities and organizations. We are definitely fans! And a sweet picture of my girl, just for fun!! Happy Thursday Everyone!

travels, visits and pics

Things have been pretty crazy round these parts lately. Ella Rae has definitely started acting like the old adage “terrible twos”. She certainly hasn’t been terrible by any means, just different. More active, busier, and she hasn’t been sleeping great. That means when she IS sleeping, I am taking some mommy time. Blogging just hasn’t been my top priority when there is always a sink full of dishes and multiple loads of laundry  to be washed and folded. We are counting down to Baby T’s arrival. My niece or nephew is due this Saturday so we are anxiously awaiting a “My water broke” call or a “I’m being induced on this date” call. Either way, I can’t wait to be an Aunt!!!  Here is Lala at 38 1/2 weeks! Doesn’t she look AMAZING!?! That being said, we are all getting ready to travel to Albuquerque!! Gigi and Grandaddy leave on Thursday and will stay almost 3 weeks. It will be Gigi’s longest time away from Ella Rae AND her longest time away from home ever since being married!! Baby T sure
