Happy 2nd Birthday Ella

Happy Birthday Ella!!! Hard to believe that you are 2 years old already! I am pretty sure that it was just the other day I learned you were breech and I would have to have a c-section to deliver you safely!!

You have brough so much joy and laughter to our lives! Your sisters love you more than you will ever realize. They are still learning just how much you look up to them and copy EVERYTHING they do!! Everyday is an adventure with you! If you could just sleep a little later in the morning and preferably not wake up during the night your mommy and daddy would GREATLY appreciate it! Sleeping is a great thing and something we hope that you will soon learn to love. This was a big year for you for sleeping! You went from having your own room to sharing with Olivia. Of course you are now waking her up also...but I think she loves you just the same. She would also appreciate if you could sleep all night though!! :)

We have had a rollercoaster of emotions with your health this past year. We found out shortly before you turned 1 that you had kidney reflux. Over the last year we have had to take precaution having you out in the sun, have had to give you a daily dose of antibiotics, and prayed that you had no unexplained fevers for that meant something was wrong with your bladder and/or kidneys. We visited Childrens Hospital again the day efore you turned 2 and found out that not only is your reflux not gone, but now you have it on both sides. The doctor told us you may have trouble potty training!! Mommy and daddy have been pretty discouraged by this news but have chosen to focus on your outward health and your spunkiness!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Ella! We are so anxious to see what the next year holds for you!!
