My sweet little lady bug,
How much joy you have brought to our lives. With your spunky and sweet disposition you make everyday just that more enjoyable.
You are such a happy girl but make everyone work to see a full smile. You are extremely suspicious of people, especially of boys/men (it seems). Although, it seems like you favor your Mommy (except with blonde hair) in baby pictures your facial expressions are certainly your Daddy's. You have that "Williams half smile/ smirk" that mommy is so fond of.
Arabella, you are certainly a Daddy's girl. It is obvious that you love Mommy but as soon as Daddy is near you want him and are happy as a lark spending all your time with him (that is until you want mommy milk).
You adore your brother, Landon. The relationship the two of you have melts Daddy and Mommy's heart multiple times a day. Landon has a couple of nicknames for you, Arabelly (the most common one), Belly Boo, and he has picked up ours for you which include Lady bug and Love Bug. You try to do everything he does, including things that give Mommy and Daddy a minor heart attack like climb up on the very top of the couch, standing and rocking on the little rocking chair or figuring out how to climb on top of the bed. You have also learned to be loving from him and to play sweetly (most of the time) with others. You miss Landon when he is gone and cry out for him at night if you aren't snuggling with him. You both have always seem to love to snuggle with each other. Now that you share a bed, he will pat your back while you are both asleep. He doesn't seem to mind when you lay on top of him. The love you share for each other is at the top of the list of gifts that you give Daddy and Mommy. We both love and adore our siblings and so happy to see you share the same love. I hope it just grows as the years go by.
You are such an animal lover- big surprise! Since your Mommy, Daddy, and big brother are, plus you are surrounded by furries! Callie is so sweet with you. She loves to play tug-a-war but if you try to play she lays down and gentle pulls so not to hurt you. Reesie and you seem to share a sweet bond. You already can say her name fairly well and get excited when she walks in the room or to you. Chang and Bourbon also get lots of sweet love from you as well.
You seem to be growing at lightening speed and although I love toddlers (maybe more than babies) I am sad to see my littlest growing up so fast. I loved cuddling with your little lump of a body the first few months of your life. I am so excited to see you growing at the same time. You are talking and moving and becoming your own person. I am looking forward to days spent crafting, talking, snuggling, and just being a mother and daughter together for years to come.
We love you so much sweet little lady bug!
