It's time for a tribute to my sweet baby girl: Elisabeth Michelle Pingel. I can't believe it's already been a year. I miss my little cuddle bug, but I absolutely love her independent spirit and adventurous nature. Ellie is the epitome of a sweet girl. She has one of those smiles that melts the hearts of friends and strangers alike. And baby girl has been sleeping in 12 hour blocks at night for quite some time. Ben and I don't know what to do with ourselves with this whole sleeping through the night thing! Looking at Ellie's newborn pictures almost makes me think we should have another baby in the house...almost. :)
So I thought I would just take a moment and post some pictures from the past year. She is a beautiful baby and we love her very very much. I might throw in some comments here and there, but just enjoy a look back at the first year of Ellie Baby's life. :)
Blowing kisses :)
Always our BEST sleeper. :)
Blessing Day for my little Angel.
Brandon and Rachel love Ellie. Sometimes a little too much.
Check out those arms! This was taken in August right as she was really taking off in the crawling phase, so her rolls have really gone down now.
Birthday Muffins!
This was her favorite present for her birthday. She got so MAD when we took it away so she could open the rest of her gifts. At least we know we picked a winner with the See and Say!
She "thinks" she can feed herself. She doesn't allow us to spoon-feed her. At all. So she gets lots of baths!
Here's to another great year with Princess Elisabeth! You might call this picture "The Princess and the Peas". Haha...I'm so lame...
