Our sweet, little (read: not so little) bean is developing into such a little girl. It amazes me not only how quickly time has gone by but how BIG she is! I see pictures of friends that have recently had babies, many bigger than Ellie was and it's hard for me to remember her being that small. It makes me so sad! I don't want those memories to be so far away that they slip my mind.
Just look at this sweet princess!
We are so, so lucky.

My Little Greenbean,
You continue to amaze us daily and we try not to take even one second for granted. Now that Mama has gone back to work, I can't get enough of you when I get home. If you're napping, it takes every ounce of self control to not wake you up. I just want to soak in every minute I can. It's been (really, really) tough, but you've been so happy to see me when I get home. Thankfully, we're leaving you in great hands each day and it's made the transition easier - for both you and mama us. You seem to be extra happy in the evenings now and it's obviously because you're just so happy to have us home! :) Your little personality is sweet, yet sassy and it's been such a blessing to watch you grow. Thank you for being the happiest, sweetest, silliest, smiliest (a Brittanyism), most perfect baby I know.
Happy Half Birthday, Sweetheart!
Love, Mama
Love her Britt! I can understand how you feel like the luckiest mommy in the world. It must feel so surreal. :)
