Happy Birthday Eliana Lynn!

Happy 1st Birthday Cutie Pie!

Your first year of life has flown by so fast! Though it seems like only yesterday you were born, it’s hard to imagine our family without you a part of it. You are the source of so much sunshine and smiles and your Daddy, big brother and I love you sooo much!  It’s been so much fun watching you grow and seeing your personality develop. You are a strong willed little girl with a great sense of adventure and curiosity and we have no doubt you can do anything you put your mind to! While you are our little “Miss Independent” you also love and need your mommy and daddy and want to be just like your big brother Mason. We love your smiles and cuddles and can’t wait to see how you grow and change in the next year. Happy birthday Ellie Belly!

Love, Mommy, Daddy & Mason

PS: Here’s a photo from your first “real” birthday to show how much you’ve grown and changed in just one year!
