Way too Fast

It is so hard for me to believe that my little girl is 4 years old today.  It seems like yesterday, I was checking into Methodist Hospital (by myself).  Not long after, I was holding the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen!   Two days later, we checked out of the hospital...drove through chick fil a and headed home to Del Rio.  We stopped in Uvalde so I could feed Addie and change her diaper.  When I took her diaper off, she pottied all over me (both kinds)!  Definitely something I will never forget.  Fast forward four years and we have a beautiful girl full of personality, spunk, and as smart as can be.  She makes us laugh every day and we are so proud to be her parents!

**she worships her daddy but is still a wee bit of a mommy's girl!
**she would be happy if I did not ever make her eat..although her favorites are macaroni and cheese, hotdogs, grilled cheese, oranges, steak, and cheese

Addie girl, you are more than I could ever hope for.  You make me want to be a better mom every day.  I love you to the moon and back fa-evah!!  I wish you would please stop getting older and stay little forever!  Daddy and I love you so much...more than you will ever know!
