Facing the World

One of Elinore's favorite places to be is me holder her on my hip with her facing the world while I'm walking around.  It is almost always an easy way to calm her down.  I love that she's close to me and gets to explore the world around her.

It's comforting for her.  I know it's probably because the pressure on her tummy helps relieve some gas, but I have a different thought to it.

When she's grown, I hope she faces the world head on, explores her surroundings and takes action.  I want to be able to look back and say, Ellie's been ready for the world from the beginning.  As a baby she loved to be on my hip facing the world ready for all it has to offer.  

My girl will leave a mark on this world.
