birthday girl

as i sat with addy tonight i started thinking about the night before i had her. i was so nervous for the labor part but so excited to meet my little girl! i couldn't sleep that night i was so excited i just kept wondering what she would look like and how she would act. i can not believe it has been three years since i had my addilyn ann finlinson. i don't want to be that crazy mom that doesn't want her babies to grow but i have to admit part of me wants her to stop and the other part of me can't wait to see who she becomes. i have no doubt that she will be amazing. when i was going through her baby pictures it took me back to the minute i met her. i fell in love with her the second i saw her. she had a fuzzy cone head and then those huge blue eyes. i think there is a special bond between a mother and her first baby. i see it with my mom and my brother and with casey and his mom. i think it has to do with that they are the special spirit that gives you the blessing of motherhood. you learn with them and they teach you incredible things. sorry I'm rambling but i feel humbled for the opportunity to be a mother and that i was blessed with two incredible babies. anyway we are smitten with addy and can not get enough of her! she is so smart and so creative. she amazes me on a daily basis good and bad. :) princess we love you and hope you have an awesome birthday!

don't you want to just squeeze her cheeks!
