Happy 1st Birthday Addison!

Addison, We love you so much! It has been a QUICK year but a wonderful year! You are absolutely the sweetest girl! I could just eat you up! Here are a few pictures to highlight your first year! We waited and waited for you to come but when you did you came quick! I only pushed 4 times for a total of 3 minutes and you were hear crying...little did we know you would soon earn the nickname "scream"!


I fell absolutely head over heels in love with you the moment I saw you...everyone did! You had that Daddy of yours wrapped around that sweet little finger of yours from moment he laid eyes on you!

We made a promise to you and to God that we would raise you to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior and I pray daily that you will when the time is right!


So sweet!

December was a busy month. A couple of days after Christmas we headed to Mimi and PopPop's house in Florida! You had a great time! We look some pictures in a garden and you loved it!






This is Christmas morning! Santa brought you this ADORABLE stroller. You look so small in it then!





February 4th your Grandpa passed away! Let me tell you...he ADORED you...everything about you! I'm sad you won't know him better but I want you to know that he loved you...A LOT!





When Grandpa passed away you got to meet his side of the family! They just adored you to...everyone does!








In March it snowed so I took you out and bundled you up with me to keep you warm...infact when we came in you were hot! You didn't like it much but I know this year you will!


In May we headed to the zoo! Everywhere we go people tell me how gorgeous you are! They're right...if they only knew how sweet you are too!



You made your first trip to the Outer Banks! You LOVED everything about the beach! You also learned to crawl this week! Once you learned to crawl you were and still are everywhere!




I love this picture of Great Grandma with all her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren!





Happy Birthday sweet girl!
Oh Addison, the things I want to teach you! I can't wait to continue to tell you how much Jesus loves you and how you were fearfully and wonderfully made just for us! What a precious gift you are! I'm thankful that I'm your Mommy and I hope one day when you're all grown up that we'll be best friends! I wish I could slow time down! While I can't wait to see the great things you'll do...I'm just loving watching you grow! Mommy, Daddy and Caden just adore and love you more than words can express...everyone does!
