Milestones: Chloe 7 1/2 months

Chloe started babbling more and making more consenent sounds this week. She has started with "g" "m" and "l". So, she has said, g'ma (grandma), ella, and mama. :) She is very active. She does not like to be held. She likes to be on the floor rolling around. If I put her knees under her, she will rock and looks ready to crawl. It is only a matter of time... I think she may be getting her first tooth too.

Happy Birthday Warren and Ella

Today is Ella and Warren's birthday. Five years ago I gave Warren "the best birthday gift he will ever get."

Ella

Ella certainly is tough to top. Ella is such a sweet and loving child. She is so sensitive and caring. I hope she keeps her tender heart. Ella loves to color and create. She says that she doesn't want to be an artist when she grows up because she already is an artist. She wants to be a zookeeper, an animal rescuer, a climber, and a teacher. Her favorite color has been yellow since she was two (when she learned her colors). She loves animals and nature. She loves books and movies. She loves unicorns and pegasuses and unicorn-pegasuses. She loves to sing and tell stories. She loves her sisters and spending time with her family and playing with her friends. Ella says that when she is five she is going to learn to do cartwheels, read, and tie her shoes.

Warren

My husband. He is such a wonderful daddy. He loves his girls so much. He gets down on the floor and plays with them. He reads to them. He gives them baths and puts them to bed. He loves to hug and snuggle with them. He takes them for bikerides. He would do anything for them. They are so blessed to have Warren for a daddy. I am so blessed to have Warren for a husband. He is a loving husband. He is affectionate and caring. He tries so hard to make me happy. He is a wonderful provider and a very hard worker. He makes decisions based on what is best for our family. He is a Christian and a leader for our family. I trust him completely as a husband and respect his decisions and his views. I appreciate everything he does more than he reallizes and much more than I tell him. I know that he tries so hard for us. Thank you Warren, for all that you do and all that you are!

Dear Lord, thank you for Warren and Ella. Thank you for this day. You are such a wonderful creator and have a perfect plan for our lives. Thank you for including our Ella in your plan. thank you for blessing her with good health and a good heart. Lord, I pray that Ella knows you at a young age and accepts the gift of your son, Jesus who gave his life for her. Lord, please keep Ella safe always. Bless her with a long happy life. Thank you Lord for Warren. Thank you for blessing our marriage and being a part of our lives together. Thank you for Warren's job. Thank you for making him the man that he is. Lord, bless Warren with health and happiness. Help him to be strong in body and mind. Help me to let him know how much I appreciate and respect him. You are an amazing God and I trust in your plan for our family. Thank you Lord.
