A year in retrospect

Today is our beautiful little girl's first birthday. We can hardly believe how quickly it has gone and how blessed we are to have her in our life. She came into the world , a week late, with a head full of hair and ready to go. She held her head to move it to the side our second night in the hospital. By five months she was crawling and now at a year she is trying hard to run everywhere she goes. She has gone from a soft cry to a loud one and now says "hiiiii" "byeeeee byeee" and makes the sound of a monkey when she sees one. She waves and even managed to climb out of her crib. She has become a travler and in her short life has been to New Jersey, New York City, Atlanta and South Carolina. She has been on plane rides, boat rides and in a cab. She saw the ocean for the first time when she was 5 months old. Lisa saw the ocean for the first time when she was 17 years old. She is one of the happiest little girls and we love how she makes us laugh everyday. We miss out little tiny baby, but are loving see her grow and change with each passing day. Below are pictures of Ella from a few hours old to her first birthday
