Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Our baby (big) girl is 18 months old today! Time is flying by; Arabella has been home for over 6 months now. The past month has been very busy. We had a huge ice storm, didn't have power for 4 days (some of our family didn't have power for 2 weeks), basement got very wet due to no electricity and sump pump not working...... We are blessed that we didn't have it worse, though. We have a new found appreciation for electricity and the everyday comforts we take for granted.
Arabella got to meet her Uncle Jody for the first time while he was here visiting over the past couple of weeks. She had lots of fun getting to know him. One of the new things Bella likes to do is have tea parties. She especially likes for her daddy to sit at her little table with her and she pretends to pour tea in his glass; it is so cute! She has invited me to have tea with her a few times, but it is usually her daddy who she wants to do this with. Bella has transitioned to sleeping beside our bed instead of in the bed with us. She still doesn't like to sleep in her room down the hall; I think she is afraid to be by herself. We want her to feel safe first and foremost. She will be in her own room one of these days. Then she will be big and we will wish she were still little, so I am not rushing it.
I love each new holiday we get to celebrate with Bella. I am so thankful to have her in my life. I am more thankful that she is home this year to celebrate them all with us. She is doing so well and is so beautiful, smart, and happy. We can't remember what our life was like without her, nor do we ever want to. I think about how blessed I am and the tears flow. Thank you Lord for all the love you have showered on me!
Love and blessings to you all,
