Heads Up

Ms. Ella can hold her head up, I know, it is hard to get beyond the adorableness, but there it is, a non-bobbing head. We are at two months and one week and we have got head lift.

I can remember being way too small to reach the top drawer in my Mama's kitchen, the reason I can remember is because that is where my Mama kept all the spoons that I wanted to play with. And what I remember most is thinking, there is no way I am ever going to be tall enough to reach that drawer. I could believe in fairies and if I ate enough carrots I would be able to see in the dark, but I could not comprehend ever growing tall enough to reach those drawers. I find myself thinking the same thing with Ms. Ella. Here the girl is outgrowing her bassinet and holding her head up, but if you ask me if she is going to get much bigger I would say look at her paws, she is probably going to stay that size. It is not wishful thinking on my end. I love Baby Ella but can not wait to meet three year old Ella or 15 year old Ella, I just can not wrap my head around the idea that Baby Ella is going to turn into non-baby Ella. I have an easier time believing that a stork is going to come by and tell us it is time for us to switch out our baby for an older/bigger model. I have seen growing happen, with other babies turned kids and I got to say, always surprised. I always stand there and stare and say "my how you have grown" when what I am thinking is, you are a whole new child. Last time I saw you, you were this big and could do these things and it took me quite a while to figure out how to make you happy and now I have to introduce myself to you all over again, because you are a whole new child. How does this happen? Are children in a time warp? Ella has changed dramatically in TWO MONTHS, I have not changed at all. Well, except for my genius, super secret plan to keep all my Ella models.
