Ellie is 1






So my little girl had her first birthday on October 29th. It was very exciting to me. It's obviously a big milestone, but there were several other things to be excited about, as well:

*One year old's don't finish all of their free chocolate milkshakes at Chile's.
*One year old's don't eat their entire free fudge square at Scheel's.

I am pretty sure that two year old's would prefer to consume these treats on their own :( Maybe I will just need to have another baby :) This has been such a fun year for me. I have always wanted to be a wife and a mom. I love children and I feel so blessed to have a child of my own. Ellie has so much personality. I am excited to see more of her personality come out over the next year.

Today was her 1 year well check. It was her best appointment, yet. No tears (she doesn't like it when the dr. looks at her). She weighs 22.5 lbs. At 9 months she was 21.6. She also grew an inch and a half. Her height and weight are in the 75%, and her head is in the 97%...thanks daddy!

On another note, Uncle Louie is gone. Ellie pushed open his door today to peek in. She turned around with a sad and confused look on her face...you are missed, Uncle Louie!

i would say something like happy birthday, but it would probably just make her cry.
