Happy Birthday, Ella Grace!!!!

Today is Ella's birthday! It's almost over and my one year old is sound asleep! We had a great day at the zoo...I will try to post pictures tomorrow! Tonight we had the board social at Eric's school so Eric's parents kindly watched her for us! It's been a busy day. But...now, at 10:30 pm, I sit here thinking I cannot believe my baby is 1! That seems so old and I feel like that first year of her life passed by in a blink of an eye. She brings me more joy than I could ever know! I love just watching her...seeing her explore new things or "read" her books. I love seeing her when I get home from school because she gets so excited and it just melts my heart! I love knowing the little quirks about her. I love knowing what will make her laugh. I love that she is learning new things everyday and that I get to see her little mind develop! I love seeing her personality come out more and more everyday...the good AND bad of it! :) What a wonderful gift from God she is! It's been a wonderful year and I look forward to many more of them with her!
