If I thought it went fast with Nolan, it is going even faster with Ellie! Our sweet, baby girl turned one this March. She is becoming such a big girl. She is almost walking (just not quite ready to let go of your finger), loves to 'talk' to you, and is both Nolan's favorite playmate...and annoying little sister.
We celebrated Ellie's birthday as a family the weekend before the 14th and took the kids to the Children's Museum. Both Nolan and Ellie had a fantastic time and we will definitely be taking advantage of the family pass we purchased. I have a feeling I will enjoy it a LOT during my maternity leave this fall!
The weekend following her birthday, we had her party. We were so happy that all grandparents, Aunt Anne and Uncle Justin, several close friends and all of our wonderful neighbors were able to help us celebrate Ellie's special day. Her birthday theme was Sugar and Spice...Ellie has shown us little girls are SO nice!
I will follow-up with another post regarding Ellie's one-year stats. She is a TINY, tiny peanut :)
