Ellie Callait Johnson was born. Weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce, this perfect little specimen changed our lives forever. She has been the reason and inspiration behind everything good in our world. Our little angel has taught me more in six months than I could ever even imagine learning in the first 22 years of my life. That firecracker smile that she has really makes everyone around her melt and submit to her every need. Her little personality is honestly just pure sweetness. She wants nothing more than to be loved and cuddled.
Ellie is the most amazing blessing that I have ever been given. She will wake up every morning with her "I love you" smile and her beautiful watery blue eyes. Yes, her right eye is still a full on faucet. But we love everything about our little Elles bells, even those goopey eyelashes. She is getting so good at rolling over and loves to stand and sit up. She is such a funny girl. Leon is working with her on scooting and he will move the blocks further and further away from her, but instead of moving toward the blocks she just figured out she can pull the blanket towards her and along comes the block. What a little smarty pants.
Ellie has been eating big girl food lately. She still makes a mess and probably more food gets on her body and the table than in her tummy, but she still loves it. Her favorite is oatmeal but she will eat rice cereal too. This week she is going to be introduced to peas. Yay. I think her favorite part is bath time after dinner. She gets so excited to get in the water and splash it all over the place. The shampoo and soap in the bath tub fascinate her and she wants to grab everything. Her yellow cheer ducky is her best friend in the tub and she cannot help but knaw ducky's head every chance she gets.
Ellie now probably weighs around fifteen pounds. She is 25 inches tall and growing everyday. Still very bald with a little bit of white/blonde hair that I can only dream to put back in a barrette or ponytail. Still no teeth (and still breastfeeding so for mommy's sake that is a good thing). And she is perfect. We are so happy and lucky to be Ellie's parents. There is nothing better than to come home to our little cuddle bug and her amazing giggle. We both love her more than life itself and are privileged to watch her grow and learn. The past six months have been the hardest yet the best six months of my life. i love you Ellie Belly! Thank you for filling my life with more love than I ever thought was possible and being my inspiration and motivation everyday. Happy 1/2 birthday sweet pumpkin bear :)
