Ellie was born on the 14th June 2005.

She weighed 6lb 4.5oz, after a fairly brief labour for Gemma. Gemma was admitted onto the Labour Ward at about 5pm and Ellie was born at 8.58pm.

Here she is at 12 hours old.

Since she was born Ellie has gone from strength to strength. She started walking properly just after her 1st birthday, just as we were moving into our new house. Also in the past few months her vocabulary has exploded, she is getting to be a right little chatter box (just like her Mum!!! Sorry Gem, couldn’t resist that one)

Time really does fly where your kids are concerned. The old cliché I think is true that you’ll never get those years back so you should make the most of them!

She is growing up fast, and will be starting at nursery in September.
