And then she turned 3

Happy Spring! Three years ago Martin and I were hoping we would have our first baby on St. Patricks Day, and that she would have flaming red hair like he'd had when he was little. Well, one of those things came true, and instead of a St. Patty's baby, our little one was born on the first day of Spring. Far better now that I think about it:)
Eleanor's birth turned me into a mother, it turned us into a family, and it was the start of a relationship of mutual teaching and learning. Its cliche I know to say 'we can't imagine life without her' but its so true! She is the friendliest little girl I know, the biggest helper, the most adoring older sister, and her curiousness for life and wisdom beyond her years astound me everyday. Her maturity makes her a constant friend, and it is an honor to be her mother:)

To Ellie,
I can't believe its your birthday! I believe you are 3 going on 15:) Hanging out with mom and dad so much has turned you into the little adult i see sometimes, but when you snuggle up to me on the couch during a movie, or put your head on my shoulder when we're reading dr. suess, I'm reminded again that you are and always will be my sweet little baby girl.
Thank you sweetheart for teaching me everyday, and for constantly reminding me what's most important in life. I know we have moments of frustration between us, but know that I will always love you more then anything, and always want to just see that big smile of yours. 
I'm so proud that you've come so far and learned so much in three years, and I can't wait to watch you reach all the milestones ahead of you.
We love you so much Ellie! Happy Birthday Baby Girl:)
Love, Mom
