Photo Friend...

Yes that's you...my dear friend Elise.
Because if I didn't have you, I wouldn't have any actual photos of my life.
Which is a bummer. 
So I'm super happy I can have someone like her around to snap a few pictures of my life :) They are always so beautiful.

Here are some from Salt Creek, a favorite spot of ours. We spend most of our family beach time here. 

A few facts about my sweet girl at {almost} month two. 
Maybe that will be my goal, post every month atleast :) 

1. I love her...honestly it just keeps getting better...and I imagine it does that for the rest of your life {maybe minus a few teenage years, or so I hear, but I'm crossing my fingers that doesn't happen}
2. She loves the sound of water. The ocean, the shower, the sink...she is motionless when she hears water.
3. She has just started smiling...a LOT...every morning especially...and my heart melts. I think it makes me just about as happy as anything ever has.
4. She smiles when her Dad sings to her. I don't sing, so that doesn't happen. But I'm going to start making an effort because she loves it.
5. She loves football. This seems like a joke, but its not...Whenever she sits in this corner of the couch (okay maybe it's the corner of the couch and football is usually on?!) she is sooo good.
6. She has acid reflux. So she's in pain, and can cry a lot. Poor thing. But this week has been SO.MUCH. BETTER. and I am in heaven.
7. She can't get enough of being outside. When I take her outside she almost always calms right down. She must be my child. 
8.She loves music and dancing. Another thing that always calms her down is turning on some tunes on spotify (lately John Mayors new album...i love it) and dancing. 
She must be my child reason #2.
9. We are worried she's a bit high maintenance. We joke about this all the time. She LOVES getting her diaper changed...weird? yes.. and smiles almost every time. Hilarious. And...she LOVES when I change her outfits. I am not.kidding. Ben is actually the one that pointed this out. Kind of funny. 
10. She is just my world. Who knew someone so small could have me so completely wrapped around their finger. 

Love you Ella Mae

  1. loved your post! It does only go up from here. I fall more and more in love with our kids every single day. And even when there are hard times, the good far outweighs the bad. I wish I could just hold little Ella Mae, she is adorable! Hope you are doing well, too!
