My baby is getting so big...

Having my little Addison has been such a bitter-sweet experience...don't get me wrong, I absolutely love her and love having her around but I know for a FACT that she is my last baby...and that is so hard for me sometimes.

I love that she is growing but part of me hates it too...I hate that these are the last milestones that I will experience with one of my own babies...I hate that she is sitting up and eating solids...I hate that she is trying to roll over...I hate that she is 8 months old already and won't cuddle with me anymore...I hate that her poopy diapers really stink instead of that sweet newborn poop...I hate all of these things...

But I love that she giggles and laughs so hard at her siblings...I love that she can sit up on her own and play with little toys...I love that she is a good eater and can put cheerios in her own mouth by herself...I love that she can babble and sing for hours on end...I love that when she smiles, her entire body flexes and shakes with excitement...I love that she knows me so well and gets upset when she can't see me...I love when she nurses and she gives me a mischevious grin inbetween sucking...I just love her so much...

She is currently 16 lbs which is huge for what I was used to with Jenner...I don't think Jenner was 16 lbs at 1 year old...

So, here are some shots of my very last baby...sniff sniff...

Isn't she the cutest?

Addison is such a cutie! It's hard for me to see Myra grow up too...and she's not even my last baby (at least to my knowledge she's not!). Enjoy the cuteness. Babies are just heaven!

I agree!! It is so hard to know these are our "lasts" on everything. She is such a sweet girl. I love that big grin.

oh my goodness! I could eat her up! She's so happy and bright eyed. What a sweetie!

Wow - what a well timed post. I've been feeling the same way about Katelynn lately (she'll be one year tomorrow!) Bittersweet is the perfect word to describe it. I miss those cute baby sounds and the tinyness, but crawling and giggling and playing with big brother is SO FUN too!

Addie is darling!! Keep those pics coming!

She is so adorable! Ditto on the feelings. Abby just turned 1 and she's so big. It's sad, and I'll miss my baby, but she is so fun!
I love the pictures!

I soooooo agree. It is hard to let them grow up. She is a little dolly though!!!
