a
tribute to Ellie
Jo Rigby!

I know I look a little stoned, but after looking at all the pictures on the day she was born, this is how I looked in them all. All I can say is that they gave me some
good drugs!

The
lime green bow. Bryce picked it out and it looked so perfect on her little head! Check out the
nose, she is her mother's daughter!

Check out all that
hair! I still can't believe it! And that
binky it the size of her head but the minute it came out the
crying started! She never had the nice newborn cry either, it was always a
loud scream! I don't
miss that!

The
orange headband will always be my favorite! And Ellie in this dress, my
favorite! I started looking for pictures to go on here a few weeks back and had to take a break! I was so drained emotionally! The day Ellie was born was the
happiest day of my life! All of my
dreams came true at that moment! My whole life all I ever wanted was to be a mother! Now that she is 2 I am having second thoughts, just kidding. I love her just as much now, it's just
harder! Which makes it all the more
worth it! Ellie was a fairly good baby but as mentioned before she had a horrible cry! My friend Trisha used to
laugh and say how much she loved Ellie's
cry and I would say how much I hated it and she said it was because I had to live with it! Ellie did everything
quickly, she rolled over fast, she crawled fast, and started walking way
too fast! I used to make a circle with all the furniture in the family room to keep her
contained, but she started to get out about the time she turned one and the fun began. She does the cutest things and always makes me laugh. Ellie I love you,
thanks for making me the mother I always
wanted to become!
