Addison Turns ONE!

It was 1 o'clock in the morning Friday, February 11, 2011, and my water broke. As I wake up Matt to let him know, he says, "But she is not due for another month." Well...she had another plan...a plan of her own. Much to our surprise, we welcomed Miss Addison Elizabeth to the world at 2:06pm on Friday, February 11, 2011. She was the BEST surprise anyone could ever ask for and as for having a plan of her own...that is SO HER!

That day seriously seems like forever ago and that makes my heart hurt. I cannot believe she is already 1. Time is going by way too fast and before I know it, we'll be picking out prom dresses and then one day, a wedding dress. I need it to s.l.o.w. down now! As a parent of two children, one boy and one girl, it is amazing how differently they each complete my life. Maddux is our laid back, active, no-drama child, and Addison is the EXACT OPPOSITE! She is extremely dramatic and her drama entertains us daily. After Maddux was born I thought, life doesn't get much better than this. But God knew that wasn't the case, and he blessed us with a beautiful baby girl and truly completes our family. There are definitely days that I wonder where she came from, because she seems so different from Maddux, but everytime I look into those big, beautiful blue eyes, I am quickly reminded that she is ours. How did we get so lucky to have such a beautiful, smart, energtic child? I don't know the answer to that question. But what I do know, is that I love her more than anything in the world (aside from her brother and daddy), and that she has truly made our family complete. I cannot wait to see where life takes her and marvel at all she will accomplish. The world is her oyster and her daddy and I get front row seats!

I love you Addison Elizabeth!



Good morning

Can we say bedhead?

I guess we can see where she gets it! LOL





Her tutu was made by one of my very amazing friends, Aleah Dechant...isn't it too cute for words?



She has completely stolen my heart!

Waiting on her guests to arrive

Notice the knot above her left eye....that is what happens when you fall head first into the end table

Yogurt anyone?

Who needs presents when you have cards?

Better watch out puppy...she's coming in for the "real thing"
