Eloise is One

Eloise turned one year old on the 19th. This has been the fastest year of my life.

She is a doll... almost all of the time.
She wakes up most days with a huge cheesy grin on her face.
She loves to give me hugs-I love her hugs.
She tolerates hugs and kisses from Jordan.
She is okay with hugs from Cedrik.
She screams when Fred approaches her (he's out to prove that she is tougher than she looks by being a little rougher than most would probably be with her).
She has discovered food is amazing.
She even eats lettuce.
But, she loves carbs.
Eloise snuggles while nursing.
She loves when Jordan rubs her back.
I think she has healing hands, like Freddie and Jordan. Just touching them makes you feel better inside. :)
Her eyelashes are long and curl naturally.
She seems to be growing curly hair, that is the exact same color as mine.
She also got my ears and chin.
I love that she got Jordan's doe eyes.
She scooted backwards down the stairs on her own yesterday.
She is quick!
She has started talking: mama, dada, amen, hi, ni-night, signing thank you (her version anyway) and she loves to say "gu" from the back of her throat. Freddie did too. We are convinced that she and Fred were almost going to be twins.

We all love her.
