Ellie, you are totally energetic and full of life. You are a little bashful around people at first, but usually warm up pretty quickly. You're rarely afraid of anything and you love to be outside playing in the leaves and rocks. You are a girly girl and love flowers, wearing dresses, being a "mommy," and trying on shoes. If I could pick a sport for you, I think you'll either be a little gymnast (you love to climb and have Daddy toss, flip, and throw you) or a soccer player (you love to run!). Most people say you look like me, but you still look like your daddy, too. You are growing into such a precious little lady and we are so proud of you! We are praying hard for your future...that you would know Jesus and walk in His ways, as well as make wise choices down the road--your Daddy is particularly concerned about your future husband, but that's a long time from now! =) There are so many things we hope for you and want to do with you in the days ahead. Just know that your Mommy and Daddy love you more than anything and that we always want the best for you.
