This Time Last Year...

As I was looking through all my pictures on my computer, I came to the realization that this time last year..Bean was just that - a little bean!

It is amazing to me how everyday she changes. For example, she has started laughing at things. Things that aren't trying to make her laugh. Like this morning, my mom said she was laughing at her video. It is such an independent motion.

Tonight before Matt got home, we were sitting on the couch and she was playing with my hair. Well, she made my nose tickle so I rubbed it on her hand to scratch it...well, you would have thought that was the best joke ever. She laughed and laughed. I started to rub my face into her belly making funny noises and she squealed and laughed. She loved it! That is first time we had an interaction like that. It was so wonderful! It just got me thinking that at what point do we stop trying to discover and learn and change in relation to all the cool, amazing stuff in our world? Why do we start to take it all for granted. Why should we? I just hope that I can always take time to notice all the fantastic stuff that happens from day to day...I hope you all can too! :)

Oh, isn't it the best feeling not to look that way anymore!!! I know everyone says its beautiful but the uncomfortable memories come rushing back to me. UUUGGHHH!!! Ella is a ham and a half and the best part is that she loves the camera. She will be a heart breaker someday, you just watch.

We love you Guys!

Time flies!!!
I agree with Holly, about the pregnancy stuff. It was fun for a little while. Then, it got old...quick, for me.

Yay to Ella for laughing, how could she not laugh quickly with you guys around :)
