Ellaboo's first year

I wanted to share some pictures from Ella's first year. She'll be one in two days. It has flown.

These are the lyrics to Plumb's My Child. I first heard this a few days ago and I think it's so appropriate for how I am feeling as her first birthday approaches.

  • Peacefully you are sleeping
  • Silently you dream
  • And I cannot help but feeling blessed
  • While watching you
  • Your eyes
  • My eyes
  • Your smile
  • My smile
  • Your love
  • My gain
  • Your hurt
  • My pain
  • Your laugh
  • My joy
  • Every time, it's mine
  • You are my child
  • I will always protect you
  • Oh and I will even let you go
  • I'll spend the sweetest time holding you
  • And will let you grow
  • Chorus
  • Don't ever be afraid
  • Don't ever be afraid
  • Cause I am here
  • And if you start to fear
  • Just close your eyes
  • And hear me say
  • Chorus

It took me forever to figure out who she looked like, but now that I saw your mom in her in one pic, it's so obvious. Ella is just a spitting image of her. Sweet baby!

Newborns aren't supposed to be that pretty. We love our niece and miss seeing her everyday.
