20 months!

Ahhh!! I can't believe my baby is 20 months old! Time is going too quickly. I know next time I turn around she will be 20 YEARS old.

Here are 20 of my favorite Ella pictures:

After her first bath at home:

One day old. Holding her in the hospital as she holds in her pacifier:

How could this little smile not melt a momma's heart? [3 months]

 I love so much about this photo. (1) That her awesome daddy got her that bear for her first Valentine's Day - aren't we lucky to have a man like him? (2) That Josh set up and posed this picture for me (3) Again, with that little smile! [3 months]

 Be still my heart - those chunky legs just get me! [3 months]

This is Ella bouncing away in her bouncer. We literally couldn't take pictures of her because she was bouncing so much. :) [5 months]

She is just so stunning here to me. I know I'm biased, but I loved this phase where she was learning to smile and interact. [5 months]

Ella's first time sitting up. I love how proud of herself she is - as she should be! [6 months]

Shopping with Ella has always been an adventure.... [6 months]

8-month photo shoot fail. This girl makes me laugh everyday. [8 months]

 Ella's first picture in our new house, with her new GIANT friend, Minnie. [9 months]

If you have spent any time with Ella - you know how important Lion is in our daily lives. This well-loved, horrible smelling animal is Ella's permanent sidekick. [1 year] -- In this picture she is wearing my kilt from Scotland that my awesomely organized mother saved for me all these years. She rocks!

 My little Christmas buddy. [13 months]

I love her sneaky face here - she definitely has a sweet tooth. [15 months]

 My little mini-friend. She makes my heart grow in love everyday. [Easter, 2014. 17 Months]

Proud of herself for creating this baby-jammie masterpiece in her crib. [17 months]

I love how this picture captures Ella adventurous spirit and energy. She is playing in the bounce house we got at a yardsale (yipppee $40 for a bounce house). [around 18 months]

These two are my absolute favorite people. I love how much Ella adores her daddy. [18 months. Image credit: Leigh Young Photography]

Ella loves taking pictures of herself. "Eya" she says when she sees herself. :) [19 months]

My little fish loves everything water. I'm working hard to let go of my worries and stresses and let my little girl be little. [20 months]
