Kiddo,
It's hard to believe that your second birthday is right around the corner. I don't know where the time went, but every moment we've spent with you has made me happy. Even when you've been sick you've still been very huggy and sweet and loving. I came over to your mama's house to wrap your birthday presents and before I did that the three of us went to Qdoba for lunch.
You wanted me to hold your hand, and as we were standing in line you pushed the back of my hand to your cheek and you sighed. I looked down at you and you simply stood that way while we waited for our food, being patient and loving on me. My heart melted a little bit more that day.
You were so happy to be out with us and although you didn't eat too much of your lunch, you waved to the people around us and when we left you told everyone goodbye. Miss Ellie, you are definitely one truly adorable child - almost always happy and wanting hugs and kisses and to play and laugh. It was a really good afternoon. I went a little crazy with your presents, but I just couldn't help myself! I'm excited to watch you open them very soon! Your Uncle Roger picked out a present for you too - it's the bubble-lawn mower! He said that way you can help your daddy mow the lawn!
In fact I am going to make you your very own cake too, and decorate it especially for you! I think you might make a big mess - but it's your birthday!
I'm trying to be patient, but I am excited to celebrate with you, little dearheart. You're so loved and it's going to be fun to watch you rip through the wrapping paper and see what you got!
So much has changed in two years, and yet so much has remained the same. You bring joy wherever you go, Ellie. And in fact, I'm smiling right now just thinking about you...
Much love to you, sweet girl - soon it will be your birthday and I'll have pictures to post and memories to share.
See you soon, dearie!
I love you!!!!
Aunt Erin
