Happy Mother’s Day (one day late) to all! I hope everyone had the opportunity to spend time with their mothers and/or children this weekend!The Conner’s had a wonderful weekend! Ella had her 1 year doctor appointment on Friday – she did great! When the doctor came in, she immediately started blowing him kisses (maybe it’s the Winnie-the-Pooh ties I was telling about J)! She didn’t even flinch when they pricked her finger, and only shed a few tears over the shots (she only had two this time) – mainly because I immediately started talking about Elmo, which quickly shut off the tears and got her saying ‘Mo mo’! She weighs 20lbs and is 31in! long – she grew 3 inches since the last appointment and is in the 90th percentile for height! The doctor said she is doing great and developing right on target!
Saturday was kind of when we celebrated Mother’s Day. Adam got up and made me a wonderful breakfast!! (I am so blessed) Then, he and Ella gave me a present which was a watering can and gardening gloves!! – SO I immediately wanted to rush to get my plants and get started planting! We spent pretty much the entire day doing that – and Ella had a great time as well! For all of you who were waiting to see Ella not decked out in Birthday clothes or Easter dresses – here are some pics of her just being a kid! She LOVES being outside and really enjoyed the dirt, sandbox and getting really messy! You can also see some of the finished products on the deck – I’m so excited to have all of that done so now we can enjoy it!
Here she is playing in the dirt and LOVING it!!
Who can resist that little 'devilish' grin!!
The deck complete with flowers!!
On Sunday, we went to church and then Adam cooked a great lunch! We spent the afternoon (after nap) at Adam’s mom’s and grandmother’s houses and Ella had a blast playing in the yard and having them push her around in the car she got for her birthday.
Motherhood for me it is the most wonderful, difficult, happy, scary, and overall exciting experience I’ve ever had. Ella has definitely changed my life more than I ever would have imagined and I’m very thankful she has!
You are such a beautiful mother, Julie. You are doing a great job raising Ella. She is so lucky to have you as her mother.
