11 Months Old!

Wow! Where does the time go? I woke up this morning and It hit me that in 1 month our little girl will be 1! She has grown so much in that time. Its funny to think that when we brought her home from the hospital she couldnt do much of anything. She basically would eat, sleep, and yes poop. Now she laughs, giggles, walks, talks and does things you wouldnt even think could ever be exciting until you have a little one. Her latest thing is pointing. Any time she see's Mommy or Daddy she points at us and smiles. Everytime Chad pulls up in the drive way she points at him the whole time until he comes and picks her up. She also does a fish face. I can make a fish face and once she see's me doing it, she will walk around the house smacking her own lips together and making her own fish face! Its Hilarious! Although I cant take too much credit for it because she started doing the fish face on her own.

Now that Chad is home we are trying to find a church that we like. On Sunday we decided to go to a Baptist Church right down the road. We were debating between taking Addison with us during the service or leaving her in the nursury. Addison isnt one for sitting still too long so we decided to put her in the nursury. Anyone can tell you this is a big step for me. I hate leaving her period, especially with strangers where I know she isnt too comfortable. I swear I have anxiety when I leave her in a situation like that. So we dropped her off and when I left I could hear her crying. It absolutely broke my heart. The whole church service I couldnt get my mind off her. I was wondering if she was screaming and crying the whole time. By the time the service was over I told Chad I was more than ready to pick up my baby. I practically ran to the nursury, Chad has never seen me walk so quickly. Once we got in there, I immediately saw my little girl and she saw me just as quickly. She got a HUGE grin on her face, pointed to me and started kicking her legs! It was the greatest feeling ever to see her so excited to see me. I went over and picked her up and gave her a big ole' hug! The lady said she was a sweetheart and that she was such a snuggler (are we talking about the same child?!). The rest of the day she was in a Great mood. Chad had to leave to go to work around 2pm, so after he left I put her down for a nap and she took a good long nap. I think the day wore her out. But I was so proud of her. It almost made it worth leaving her for alittle while to walk in there and see that happy face. Its just one more reason why I love her so much.

Here is her latest picture. Mommy gave her a rare treat...Whip Cream!
