Standing Stander

Sometimes your child does something that you know, no other child has ever been able to do. Your child is so special. Your child surpasses all others. Your child is simply AMAZING!

Ella has accomplished the highest feat! She is standing!

Ok, so I know that all babies (normal development) learn to stand. They all do it. Maybe it is not so amazing, but I really think it is. I don't think any other baby has ever done it in such a cute way before....

It is an interesting phenomenon (if you can call it that), the emotions you feel as a parent. Seeing your child accomplish a milestone, and being so proud. Seeing the wonder and joy and excitement in your child's face as she learns to do something new. That is worth a million of anything valuable. Feeling like she just accomplished an extraordinary feat. Heart full of love and pride.

I hope that Ella continues to find such joy in life. I will do all I can to nurture and support in her in all she does whether it be standing, racing her first mountain bike, playing tea parties, or God forbid playing video games.

Ella, you rock!
