Elliott came after a very short amount of time trying for another baby and therefore was somewhat of a surprise. My Dr. kept saying that because she was my third and because I had been 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced for 4 freakin weeks that when I went into labor, I'd better get to the hospital in a hurry because she was going to go fast.
Whatever. My water broke around 4 PM and 16 HOURS later, we had our 8 lb. 2 oz bundle of joy and 3rd girl. So much for going fast.
Elliott join 2 very excited and "helpful" big sisters. Grace even celebrated today as not only Elliott's birthday but the day she became a big sister.
Elliott is a very sweet little girl. She loves to give kisses and hugs. She loves to crawl up next to you and snuggle. She's tall for her age so people often think she's older than she is. She's smart. She picks up on things that you think would go right over her head. She has learned things just from being around, things that I took lots of time to sit down and teach her older sisters. She has beautiful, long, flowing hair. She loves to sing. She likes me to sing to her. She loves to tell jokes. They don't really make any sense. We pretend to laugh and so then she tells another and another... She's the most funny when she's doesn't intend to be. She tries real hard to keep up with her big sisters. She sometimes talks like she is a 6 or 8 year old. She's a little bit country. She loves broccoli. She loves candy. She is sensitive and gets a little flustered when we try to brag on her. She may growl at you. She is very good at playing by herself. She can talk NON stop and sometimes she can just sit so quietly you have to check to make sure she is there. She loves her blankie. And yes, she still loves her thumb. She loves her sisters. She loves it when she gets to be the center of attention but is a little more humble about it that some. She loves to dance. She can be really silly. She is scared of thunder. She is our one late sleeper. She still loves to be held even though she weighs about 50 lbs. She's pretty laid back and can usually go with the flow. She's a 3rd child. She is a child of the covenant. She loves Jesus. And Jesus loves her.
She will most likely always be our youngest and therefore our baby.
Happy Birthday sweet Elliott! We love you!
