La Bella

I've been wanting to write a post about this little sweetie before Landon joins us. She is at a stage that has been challenging in some aspects (like frequent tantrums and skipping naps!) but overall has stolen our hearts. She's just so bright and engaging and surprises us everyday with her hilarious sense of humor and the things she says! Now that we are about to have a newborn, I just can't believe how fast Ellie is growing up. 

I cherish bedtime stories and prayers with her, going on walks together and shopping, and doing puzzles with her. She is such a quality time girl like her daddy! So I have to be intentional to stop my task-orientedness at times to play with her. I want to savor each and every moment with her knowing that soon my attention will be even more divided! 

Things she loves are:

1- Her little guys (safari animals)

2- Books

3- Moovas (her nickname for movies)

4- Wubba (her lovey)

5- Doing puzzles

6- Being outside 

7- Blowing bubbles

8- Snacks (especially goldfish and fruit snacks!)

9- Wuacala guink (aka coke)

10- looking at pictures

11- dates with Daddy and Mommy

12- Going to Gaggy and Pappy's hosue

13- Her friends from church

14- Being chased by Daddy

15- Babies (she smothers all babies with her hugs and kisses!) 

We love our Ellie Sofia so much and feel so blessed to watch her grow into the person God created her to be!
