For as long as I carried you..

I have shared you with the world.

Nine months ago today they placed you in my arms and you slipped into my heart. Nine months ago today I became the Mommy to a beautiful baby girl.

For nine months I carried you, I cried, I talked to you, I sang to you, I prayed for you, I made wishes for you and I loved you more than anyone else loved you. You were a part of me and all that I was and all that I did and I am so thankful that God chose me to be your Mommy.

For as long as I carried you...
I have shared you with the world.

I have shared you with a world that is bright and beautiful. A world with amazing family and friends who welcomed you with open arms. A world where you can dream your dreams and wish your wishes. A world that God created just for you. A world that awaits you and the all that you have to offer it. A world where you can be your own kind of beautiful!

For as long as I carried you...
I have shared you with the world.

I hope the world gives you reason to always smile, laugh and cry with plenty of occasions to do them all at the same time.



I hope the world gives you many opportunities for new adventures.

I hope you always look at the world with wonder and your eyes wide open, never missing a thing.

I hope that you climb the ladder in the world to your own success and that you know I am behind you every step of the way.

I hope you know that when the world is not so kind and things are uncertain, that you will always have a hand to hold. Just reach out and grab the hand of God and know that He will never leave you or forsake you.


I hope that you find in a world that is so grand that you will take the road less traveled and leave your footprints along the way.


I hope in a world that is sometimes hurtful and harsh that you remember to dance in the rain, splash in the puddles, soak in the sunshine, play in the falling leaves and catch snow flakes on your tongue.

I hope this world gives you many reasons to stop and Thank God for all of the joys in your life and that you realize that your are saved by His grace.

I know that one day she will find her own place in this great big world and I can't wait to see where life takes her and to see Gods plans unfold for her. Until then, I will continue to love seeing this world through her eyes, and I will forever smile, laugh and cry through every happy moment, every trying moment and everything in between. She is my heart and I am blessed to call her my baby girl.

For as long as I carried you...
I have shared you with the world.

Ellee,
I am your parent, you are my child.
I am your quiet place, you are my wild.
I am your water wings, you are my deep.
I am your open arms, you are my running leap.
I am your finish line, you are my race.
I am your praying hands, you are my saving grace.
I am your favorite book, you are my new lines.
I am your night light, you are my sunshine.
I am your lullaby, you are my peek-a-boo.
I am your kiss goodnight, you are my I love you!

9 month milestones

2 pearly white
Stands alone
Walks around holding on to things
Throws fits when things don't go her way
Loves hot dogs and mac and cheese
Everything goes to the mouth
Sleeping is sometimes overrated during the day

Nine months have gone by so fast and before we know it this Little Lady will be turning 1.
