Elsie Sophia:

How did you go from being a tiny baby to toddler so fast?? It breaks mamas heart to see you growing up so fast but I think the age you are at is my favorite yet! You are so fun right now I could bottle you up and keep you forever!! You have started talking up a storm. It just happened one day, you repeated everything we said and now you are just a little chatty kathy! Just like I knew you always would be!! Words that we hear at least 50 times a day are... mommy, daddy, outside, walk, go-go, chica, color, sholler (stroller) bab (sippy), bebe (binki), wing (swing), slide, bubble, rock, drink, water and bite. But everyday you surprise me with at least 10  new words I never knew you knew. It is fun to have you talking!! To say you love to be outside is an understatement! You would live outside if I let you! If you are awake you have to be outside. You are quite the active little thing! You love to push your go-go around and your strollers and lawnmowers. You also love playing with the kids! Lucky for you there is a plethora around you! You definitely think you are a big kid and would rather be with the bigger kids doing things you shouldn't be doing than sitting by mommy and playing with other babies. You are still fearless! The other day you tried to walk off a rock wall like it was nothing! You keep your mommy and daddy busy! You are such a sweet and happy little girl! You love to give hugs and blow kisses. You will give any a hug and it is so sweet! You are also the friendliest! You love to wave to anyone on walks on while we are out and about or at restaurants! You are so charismatic, just like your daddy! You are the giggle queen! I love to hear your giggle all day long. It is such a distinct quality of yours... always laughing! You have a slight obsession with cars, rocks pushing things and babies. everywhere you go you always are saying baby, baby. You think babies are everywhere! You are love to watch shows on mommy's phone, but mommy's phone only. You will watch them in that car but never at home on the tv (that probably is a good thing I guess). By far your favorite show is Elmo! You are completely in love in anything Elmo! You also love love love dogs and chica! Your like a little Dr. Do Little! You love animals!! You are such an independent, determined, strong willed little girl! Sometimes it tests your mommy's patience but we love you for it! We love to hear your little pitter patter run around the house and to hear you sing all day! The songs you sing are my favorite! "Happy  Happy" (you love "if your happy and you know it"), la la la (insert a random word like chica or gogo or daddywork)  la la la. You are the cutest! Oh and you love to tell me things are cute, pretty or cool! We couldn't ask for a more special little girl! You are the light of our lives and we love you so much! You have so many amazing qualities and talents that we know you have been blessed with! We have loved every minute of having you with us!! You will always be our littlest princess!!
xoxo
Mommy and Daddy
