Ella's Six Months Old!! And new pictures!!

Yesterday was a big day for Ella! She turned 6 months old. I was so happy and sad at the same time. I can't believe that it has already been half a year since we were blessed with the best baby in the whole world! It has gone by so quickly that I am almost sad to already reach this milestone. The past 6 months have truly been the best of my life. Everyday I fall even more in love with my amazing daughter. (Even though it has been six months it still sounds weird to say "my daughter", but it's a good weird!)
Since KT had to work that afternoon, Ella and I decided to celebrate with a mommy-daughter day. We went to McAlister's first for our lunch date, then to make Mother's Day cards for both grandmas, nanny, and auntie at Target, and then we capped the day off by meeting up with Jania and James for ice cream and a photo shoot on UA's campus. I'd say it was a pretty good day. And by the smiles and laughter coming from Ella throughout the day, I'd say she agrees. There are some pictures below from our day out for her 6 month birthday and just some pictures of Ella that are cute!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, so hopefully we will have another great day together as a family tomorrow. Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mommies!! By the way, I say mommies need way more than just one day out of the year to honor all of the hard work that goes into raising kids, having a career, and taking care of the household!!

Sitting with Saban!
 
 Sitting with Saban again! (Btw, I didn't realize I couldn't rotate the
pictures until I already uploaded them and now I don't feel like
re-doing everything to fix it. LOL. Sorry!)
 
 In front of the stadium! Sorry again! LOL.

These pictures make me smile. Tomorrow I will do her official six month pictures like I have been doing every month. If you missed last months pictures, you can see them here. Also, I am still looking for guest writers, so contact me if you are interested! Don't be shy! Tomorrow I will let you guys know how my first Mother's Day goes!

Well, this whole thing made me smile! I needed that.

Ella looks more like her daddy everyday! She is soooo cute; I just want to pinch her cheeks! :)

I would also be willing to bet that most mommies' out there would agree with you...there should be a 'Mommy Month'! :D

But alas, we know it is the most rewarding job in the world and you have the good fortune of being just that, a great mommy!

Happy Mother's Day Dani! May your blessing's shine on!
