She turned 2 last Sunday but Tim had her this weekend so WE are celebrating today! Presents and cake! The theme? Tangled. :) It’s going to be a good time! Photos to follow. Hopefully Ellie decides to cooperate so I can get some good shots!

I’ve decided to keep writing in the pregnancy journal I kept…hopefully then when Ellie reads it when shes older, she’ll be able to understand where I was coming from during this whole spiel with me and Tim. I wont explain everything, of course, I don’t want her view on him to change but I want her to get how I came to the decision to get divorced. And I’m hoping it will ease the hatred she might feel towards me as a teenager. I also want to write about my life and what I’m going through…because I really would’ve liked something like that to read from my mom. How interesting would that be? To know your mom’s thoughts and feelings she was young. That’s my resolution I guess, to write in the journal as much as possible about everything. Shes not getting it until shes mentally old enough to handle it…and that might be 18…or 40.

She’s playing with a camera, she is so fascinated just pointing it at stuff and seeing it on the screen. I’m training her to be the best hipster ever.

Yeah. It’s always fun when we have photobooth photo shoots…say that 5 times fast.
Ellie gets another fingerpoke today to check her hemoglobin and hematocrit levels again. They were elevated last time and hopefully it was just because grandpa gave her liverwurst…which has like 3x the adult does of iron. I guess we’ll find out! Wish Ellie luck for her levels and wish me luck with holding her down while they try to get blood from her finger! Last time she freaked…seriously, not kidding, I should tape it and you will see the wrath of my child. She turns demonic, I swear. The sounds she makes can probably be heard by all dogs and Bill Compton within a 30 mile radius…yet, the humans in the waiting cannot hear.
She cried every single time someone besides me held her today. She hates people. Which is good and bad. She won’t go to complete strangers, so that is good. She won’t go to family and friends, which is bad. Hurts people’s feelings, ya know, when someone screams in their face and searches for mom instead of just having fun.
Shrug. I guess she might be like me when I was little. Independent and stoic. Get it girl.
Took some holiday pictures of Ellie and all her stuffed animals! lol She was tired, and she doesn’t really like stuffed animals…but all was well anyway!
When Ellie wakes up at like 5:30am and is all giddy, while I’m all groggy and ugggghhh, and then not only an HOUR LATER she is laying down on her blankie and snuggling with it because she’s tired. I WOULD’VE GLADLY SPENT MORE TIME IN BED IF YOU ARE TIRED MY DARLING DAUGHTER!!!!! But then, of course, when I put her in her crib for a nap, she starts screaming.
I can’t win with this one. I’m thinking this is close to how she’s going to be when she’s 13. You know, when I try to cuddle her and put a nook in her mouth.
