She turned one on May 4th. I wasn't ready for her to be one already. The year went by sooooo fast. The days go by faster with each kid we have added to the mix. At least I am never bored, but I wish it could slow down so I had more time to enjoy my quickly growing babies.
Addie reminds me a lot of Staucie. She is passionate about life. I have been having a hard time weening her off her bottle. I just don't want to. I like feeding her a bottle. We have eliminated all but the bedtime bottle. It goes along with our nightly routine. I get the other 3 to bed and then Addie and I go downstairs. I make her a bottle, and while I do, Addie squeals with delight as she watches me make it, and gets mad when I take too long (it is so CUTE). Then I feed her while we snuggle on the couch. When it is gone she cries (real loud) and so I hold her until she feels better. And then we PLAY! until she is too tired and then I unfortunatley have to put her to bed.
She is also trying to adjust to one nap since she only needs one now. The worst part is that she needs to go to bed when the other kids do because she is only taking one nap. If I ever try putting her to bed at the same time, she cries a lot in her bed. So sad. I like our nightly rountine too, Addie!
If I ever let her out the garage to play in the front, she just takes off down the driveway, out into the street, and just keeps running. I follow trying to keep her from falling. I try holding her hand, but she refuses. It will be nice when she is more stable because she makes me so nervous and is so crazy that I just don't let her out front to play very often, which I feel bad about.
She is so funny and adorable when she gets excited about something. I just love it. I love watching her eat her table food. She looks so serious and I love watching her while she tries to shove a handful of food in her mouth. I love just watching her.
She tried to get the camera...
I wouldn't let her. So, she threw herself on the floor to throw a fit. I laughed at her, so then she laughed too. Crazy girl.
I love you, Addie. What a joy you are in my life.
It is hard to get a normal picture of Parker.
I wish they wouldn't grow. I keep thinking that maybe I could have 2 more someday after my body gets a break, but it has been a year since Addie was born, I am almost 30, and unfortunately I still hurt from being pregnant with Addie. I have been in a lot of pain the last couple of weeks and don't know why. I think this tendonitis/arthritis is going to win. I just keep trying to think of how fun the next stages in my kids' lives will be. Having them close in age means we will enjoy it all together. I am so grateful for 4 of my greatest blessings. I am grateful to be a mother.
