Guess Who's 1 Today?

Dear Addison,

It is hard to believe that you are one year old today! I remember feeling your first little kicks and then your harder jabs and wondering what the baby would be like that was in my tummy. You have exceeded any of my expectations by a long shot! You are such a joy to be around and are definitely a little ray of sunshine. You are such a good, sweet girl and you always have a smile on your face. You love giving hugs and kisses to your mommy and to laugh with your daddy. It has been so fun seeing you grow and learn and take everything in. I can practially see your little mind working! You love being with mommy these days and are even wanting to be held a lot more (which I'm not going to argue with!). You started drinking milk from a sippy cup and are eating table food right along with mommy and daddy. You are still taking a few steps on your own and cruising around the furniture. Your favorite foods are: green beans, avocados, bananas, squash, cheese, and any kind of bread. You love having a snack of cheerios or crackers on the car ride home every afternoon. You love singing, dancing and talking. Your new words this month are "uh-oh, wow, woa, ball, balloon (ba-oo) and mommy." You love cats-real, in books and toys, and you also love Elmo. You love being around other kids and going to the park, the zoo and Sea World with your friends. You love being outside and really enjoy going to check the mail every evening with daddy. You still just have the 2 bottom teeth, but have had some sleepless nights lately, so you might be getting more soon. Nothing could have prepared us for how much we could love and adore you, Addison. We are so proud of you and so blessed to be your parents. We treasure every second we get to spend with you! We love you!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
