My word. I can't believe I'm writing this. Addi, you are two years old today!!! Where has the time gone? I feel like it was just yesterday, I had come out of the doctor's office and I was feeling so down because my doctor said I probably wasn't going to meet you anytime soon and she scheduled an induction because I was so itchy. You had your own plans little girl and I am so thankful you came the very next day. Ever since you arrived and we heard that precious cry of yours, my heart changed forever. You didn't come out mad. You came out quite calm! You only were mad when they gave you a bath for the first time. I remember staring at you when they handed you to me. I couldn't believe that they were going to let me keep you. You were just so perfect and you stared at me so intently like you knew who I was. After those few moments of just staring at each other, I knew I would never ever be the same. You have changed my heart Addi, you have a piece of it that will be with you forever. You are my precious little angel baby and you always will be. Even when you are 16 years old and a sassy britches, you will still be my baby. And little girl, you can't even begin to imagine how many people love you. You are so blessed to have some of the greatest people I know be your family. You bring our lives so much joy, and I just can't wait to see what you are going to do sweet girl. Okay, so I am now a puddle of tears. :) Addi, you are going to have the best day tomorrow! We have lots of fun surprises planned and you will see all your favorite friends and all your family! And yes, there will be cupcakes. LOTS of cupcakes. :) Now I am going to leave you with some sweet baby Addi pictures while I go cry into my pillow. :)
Your Daddy and I love you SO much little peanut!
