I can't believe how smitten I am with this little person in my world... I just can't seem to get enough of her! I tell you what, she is definitely the joy of our lives! She brings such new life to everything that we do and I feel incredibly privileged to get to be her Mom... I don't deserve it, but I sure am grateful!
Tonight as I was giving her her bath and getting her ready for bed, she happily played and chatted away, discovering all these new things in her world, I just thanked God for the gift of my little Ellie Hope... This is the baby we prayed so long for and sometimes I have to pinch myself to believe that she's really here and we really get to raise her. She couldn't be a more perfect addition to our family...
The only thing I wish is that time would slow down a little bit... That each stage would last a little longer cause they all seem to disappear so quickly. She's growing and changing every day. She's starting to use more big girl words, walk like a big girl, understand like a big girl. So quickly she is becoming a toddler and our "baby" is no more...
I just want to hold on to these days...
So, we cherish every minute we get with her and try to soak it all up.
So, we cherish every minute we get with her and try to soak it all up. And I pray to God that He'll help me remember the special blessings of these days.
