"I Love My Cousin Ella"

Tia Emily sent me this sweet picture of baby Ella today. She's two and a half months and oh so cute!

I called Sofia over to the computer to show her and asked, "Sofia, look at baby Ella; isn't she cute!?"

To which she responds in the sweetest little girl voice, "Awww. I lub her."

I lub them both!

Overheard, April 29, 2010

I explained to Sofia how I had painted the mobile which hangs above her bed for her before she was born. "When you were in Mommy's tummy," I explained.

She looked at the mobile for a second, then turned to me, "I want to go back in Mommy's tummy," she requested. Very seriously.

"Aww, my sweet girl. You can't go back."

It reminded me of my Mom, especially on this day, April 29, what would have been her 65th birthday.

I can't go back either.

Happy birthday, Mom! We miss you and love you.
