12 Months!

Elle,
One year ago...we had finished trick or treating and noticed that the pains I was having were becoming more real, more like contractions. We left your Sis for the first time with Aunt Alley and headed for the hospital...a mere 14 hours later you arrived at 12:52pm with the darkest, and most hair we've ever seen on a baby. We were amazed at your beauty and at the instant bond between you and your sister. We have since grown in love with you more and more as you have become quite the little person with your very own personality. You are so silly and outgoing. You wave to most strangers at stores and have a giggle that is contagious. You love when your sister sings, scares and kisses you. You are still overly exited every time you see a dog and your walk has improved from a mere waddle to a strut. Your favorite lovey has changed from a monkey to any baby with a hard head and soft body. Your smile lights up your entire face and anyone else who's in the room at the time. You still love to cuddle in bed with Mommy and Daddy (and Sis) and still wake up with a smile every morning, mostly meant for your Sister. We are in love with watching you learn more and more everyday as you figure out this world around you. We still don't know what "Da-gum" is but we hear it all the time, along with all of the other words that make up your baby talk. However, we have a feeling you know exactly what you're sayin. Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine in our lives. We love you!
