My SuperGirl!

Wow, this is my baby girl. My little SuperGirl. I can't believe in just two days we will have her first birthday party! She'll be officially 1 on September 22nd. I can't believe how fast it's gone. I'm just so excited to see how much she has changed in this one year. From a baby that couldn't walk and barely did anything, to a walking, babbling, beautiful little toddler (that loves to walk and get into everything) Oh and she's definitely a little monkey too because she loves to climb in, around, on, under everything too!

Her personality is really coming out lately. She laughs when something is funny to her, she'll definitely let you know if she's frustrated about something. Such as daddy gives her the toothpaste tube to occupy her for a few minutes, then takes it away.....yes, I got to hear all about how that made her feel!

She's also eating a ton...or at least tries and about half of it falls in her lap. haha. But all in all, she's growing like she should, she's healthy, and that's the best part of all of this. I was truly blessed to have Ellie brought into my life and on her birthday we will be celebrating not only her one year of life, but also the one year of amazing happiness she has brought my wife and I. Nothing can explain it really. It's such a different kind of happiness and love. Just thinking about the way she hugs me or looks at me and smiles or makes a face, just makes my heart laugh out loud with an explosion of happiness. Thank you so much for this little girl in my life.

Well, enough sappiness now. Get to a few more updates on her....she can now say a few more words like dog, more, milk, Mama, Dada, and hot dog. Yeah, I said hot dog. The show "Mickey Mouse - Clubhouse" sings a song with "hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog" in it and Ellie really likes it. She doesn't watch a lot of TV, but when Mickey and the gang get on, she usually will watch them for a little while. But that song gets her dancing and really excited. So Casey and I will sing it, to the best of our knowledge, and we usually just repeat the hot dog sequence over and over and that usually will get her dancing again. Well, I know it's been a while since my last update, but again, at least it wasn't a year! Until next time....
