today you turned a month old.
my favorite moments with you addie jane are when its the middle of the night - and its so quiet - except for your heavy breathing as you guzzle your bottle down. i also love you right after a bath - you smell so sweet - and your hair is so fuzzy and curly. i love when i hold your face close to mine and sing to you - your lips form an O as if you are trying to sing with me, and you make your cute little ooooh sound. i love taking pictures of you - you are a such a little ham. i love dancing to stevie wonder with you...now that we have the sling...i can really explore the room. you are such a motion-junkie - the faster the better, which is the coolest thing about you.
you have started doing more than smiling. you follow faces and voices, and love the crinkling of your toy butterfly. you really are a smart little girl, i can tell in your eyes. i can't wait to teach you things about life, about history, about places i have been.
i remember back to when i thought i wasn't going to get to have you. when i thought i couldn't have you. and it seems like so far away. and it seems crazy to have ever thought that. and it may be silly, but i think your G.G. sent you to me. which makes you more than just my little girl. it makes you the greatest gift i have ever been given.
happy birthday ladybug. now please, sleep in for mommy.

Wow, I am amazed she is one month old already! Happy one month Addie. How time flies. I love her birth announcements. They are adorable. Ella likes to point to it and say "Addie" too.
