It's been two months since Gotcha Day ...

Dear Addison ...

Two months ago today, you finally got what you deserved in life ... to have a mommy and a daddy. To have a forever family that loves you, no matter how many chromosomes you have. To have a brother and sister that were ready to teach you so many things.

How lucky am I to be that mommy? How lucky are we to be your forever family? Incredibly lucky, sweet girl. The past two months have been an incredible whirlwind. I have so enjoyed getting to know you more and more every day ... I absolutely love everything about you!

I love to see you smile at me when I come into your room every morning.

I love how fast you crawl with excitement to get to Daddy when he gets home from work.

I love watching you laugh at your brother and sister.

I love how you rub your hands together when you see me getting ready to put lotion on you.

I love how you lower your head and look at me out of the corner of your eye, as if you are giving me the evil eye.

I love watching your mind work and seeing how smart you are.

I love listening to you laugh and squeal when I carry you and your sister down the stairs at the same time.

I love how you throw your hands in the air when you dance.

I love how you shake your finger at me when I tell you to stop sucking on your fingers.

I love to watch you become more and more comfortable here at home. The home that will never leave. We are here for eternity, baby girl. Never forget that. We love you with all of our hearts. I hope you have enjoyed the past two months as much as we have. We have a lifetime ahead of us ... and we can't wait to share it with you.

Love, Mommy
