It’s always amazing how quickly time passes when I look back, seems like I was just having babies. Beautiful Ella was born one year ago today, early in the morning. She was about one month early but her mom was on bed rest for the previous month, so she could have been much earlier. They live about 2 1/2 hours south of me so I don’t get to see her as often as I would like but mom and dad are very good about visiting regularly.
I love being a grandmother much more than I ever thought possible. She is truly the apple of my eye and I enjoy watching her grow so much. I know any grandmothers out there reading this understand exactly what I’m saying. I’m looking forward to her next visit.
Ella contemplating her cake
She was very subdued with the cake and didn’t make much of a mess. I think she preferred the feel of it rather than the taste. Plus I think she was getting tired, she had that “deer in the headlights” look.
Greg and Ella opening her quilt
She didn’t enjoy opening gifts very much but she did enjoy playing with the tissue paper. Her dad was excited about the quilt and the fact that it was designed for her to carry around. I hope that she drags it around with her to the point of destruction.
I will be making her mom a quilt sometime in the not too distant future, one with butterflies. I’m still collecting fabrics, much easier to find than bee fabrics. Ella will get another little quilt to go with her mom’s when the time comes.
Ella Bella, Belle of the Ball, happy First Birthday beautiful girl. It’s only the beginning of a beautiful life!! I love you.
Thanks for stopping by…
