I am a very paranoid mom (imagine that)! I used mesh bumpers for Addie's crib to prevent SIDS, but I finally decided to put the cute one in her crib since that risk is pretty much gone. The following pictures show what she thought about the new bumpers! There was no sleeping during this nap. 
She threw everything out of her crib!
The Lord God said, "It is not good for man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him."
Genesis 1:18
Okay, so most of you know that Jason and I did not get married in January. However, we started dating on January 19, 1998! We were Sophomores in high school at Christian Academy. I can't believe that we have been together for ten years. How time flys and changes. We have come so far and we have both changed a lot in the process. I must say life is never boring when Jason is around, he is always doing something crazy (some things never change). I am very blessed that God put the two of us together. We are very different but we work well together.
My sister has aggreed to watch Addie for us, so we are actually going out on a date tonight! This does not happen very often, we ususally decide to just take Addie with us.
I hope everyone is doing well and that you enjoy your weekend.
This picture was taken in November 2006.I am pleased to announce that Addie is officially off the bottle. Jason and I got the okay from Addie's Occupational Therapist to start weaning her off right before Christmas. She was finally getting enough nutrition from table food to sustain her weight. We decided to wait until after Christmas because we did not want to make any more changes than necessary (she does not deal well with change, she must get that from her daddy) so we waited until after the New Year. I am so glad I do not have to wash bottles anymore!
Our next bit of exciting news, Addie is doing so well eating table food that her O.T. is going to start decreasing her sessions. What a blessing! I have been so worried about our Sweet Adeline. I need to work on worrying less and relying on God more! His plan ALWAYS work out better than mine.
These are a few pictures of Addie playing outside, it is her favorite thing to do. She would play outside all day if let her.
I have been slacking on the whole blogging thing and I finally caved! I am, however, pretty excited about it because Jason and I have a lot of out of town family who we think will really enjoy this. Jason started a blog when Addie was first born but only posted a few times, hopefully I will be more diligent!
Addie is our pride and joy and this Christmas was wonderful. It was so exciting watching her open all of her gifts and the big smiles that followed. I believe that I was more excited about it than she was. Her first gift was a toy vacuum cleaner (she loves pushing things around). She did not want to open anything after that, she held the vacuum cleaner with one hand and opened other gifts with the other. She has changed my whole perspective on Christmas and life. She is such a blessing that is impossible to describe.
