Happy Birthday Little Monkey!

Dear Addison,

I am so amazed at how fast you are growing up. I feel like it was just yesterday when I brought you home. I felt so prepared, but when I had you in my arms, I was so scared. The nights you cried, I cried. I wanted you to be happy and comfortable, and I was willing to do whatever it took. You are changing each day. Learning something new each day. Like your Great Pop-pop you are always trying to make people laugh. You always make people smile, and I love that about you.
I thank God everyday for you!
Happy Birthday!!!
Mommy


To my precious little monkey,
You have brought such joy to your mommy and I. This past year has been so much fun watching you grow and explore your new world. I want to share with you some of things that I love about you: I love it when I get to wake you up in the morning to get you ready to go to Mrs.Pams, I love kissing you goodbye and telling you I will see you this afternoon, I love how you smile and stick your tongue out, I love how you are starting to give kisses, I love how you reach up to me when you want me to pick you up, and I love how you yell and point (thanks mimi) at lily and call her BAD DOG. But most of all i love you because you are my daughter...and now I'm crying writing this.
Love you,
Dada
