{Full Force}

The moment this baby girl started to trust and let her guards down little by little, I knew she was going to have one BIG personality.  There's nothing that Ailee James does half way.  She never walks...always runs.  She doesn't just hug, she squeezes tight so you know you are loved.  She sings at the top of her lungs, talks for the world to hear and even jumps down stairs as loudly as she can so you know she's about to enter the room!

It's no surprise that she jumps with complete gusto, too!  Anytime I can see her beginning to get a little frustrated or out of sorts, I just put her on the trampoline {or sensory swing at times as well}.  She tucks her knees to her chest and tries with all her might to get that tiny little trampoline to bounce off the floor.  And she does just that more than I would like!  Of course, she thinks it's the best and, as long as she remains holding on, I let our little double bubble get as much energy out as possible!

So thankful that God saw fit to bless us with this little full force, 100 percent firecracker!

When she glances over and smiles, so happy and completely in her element! 

Such a simple thing and so much joy!!!
