Only 2 more days of work then it is time to let the Thanksgiving / Black Friday festivities begin! I cannot wait!
That's really all I have to say...or maybe it's just all I have time to say. Between work, a sick baby, and everything that needs to be done before we leave on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, I really don't have time to be on here.
So...have a great Thanksgiving!! Enjoy the time you have with your family and loved ones!! :)

A letter to my 8 month old!
Dear Addi,
You turned 8 months old yesterday. I can't believe it! Time is going way too fast, but I cherish every single moment I have with you.
You are such a sweet girl! You smile all the time. People always comment on what a happy baby you are. You love life and it radiates all over you. I hope that through the years, you never lose that joy.
You are easygoing, like your daddy...except when you're hungry or really tired. When you are hungry, you scream your head off. Seriously, you kick and scream and shake your arms. You've done this every since you were born and I don't think it's going to change any time soon.
You are very curious. You are not crawling yet, but somehow still manage to get into things. The other day you rolled underneath your swing and next to the lamp in the corner. I still don't know how you did it. I have a feeling once you start crawling, daddy and I are going to really have our hands full!
Speaking of crawling, you are a little stubborn. The fact that you are not crawling shows that. You have been acting like you are going to crawl for over 2 months, and yet, you start to attempt and then decide you don't want to and would rather have mommy or daddy give you the toy you want. When we don't give it to you right away, you cry and act like the world is coming to an end. Unfortunately, you have a double dose of stubborn...hopefully, you'll learn to manage it well in spite of everything.
You are funny. You love to giggle and love it when we act crazy. For example, I taught you how to put toys on your head and then move your head to make them fall off. You think this is hilarious. We have a hard time putting hats and bows on your head now though. You would rather try to shake them off and make us laugh than keep them on. We need to work on that.
You like to play. Daddy says that when you were born, he knew the minute he saw you that you were going to love to play. :) Your favorite toys right now are your toy piano and your infantino toy that makes crazy noises. You also love your seahorse that plays music and glows. You sleep with it every night. You think songs like "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Patty Cake" are a ton of fun. You also love to play with your wipe box. That's kind-of weird, but I'm sure you'll grow out of it.
You are beautiful. Total strangers will come up to us and tell us what a gorgeous baby we have. It's true...you are the cutest baby I've ever laid eyes on. Your beauty runs deep though. It's not just the way you look, its who you are inside. You have a beautiful soul, I can already tell. I believe you are going to grow up to be kind and compassionate and pray that you are going to love Jesus more than anything.
You are a pure delight! Daddy and I love you so much and LOVE having you in our lives. We can't imagine the world without you. We love watching you grow. One day, when I'm holding your babies (if you decide to have them), I'll think about this time and I'll miss it. But, I'll love being the mom of a grown up Addi (who will probably choose to go by Addison at some point).
Happy 8 month my sweet Fufe!! :)
Love,
Mommy

Thanks Ms. Kim!
So I had planned on blogging each day in November about something that I am thankful for. Obviously, my intentions are much better than my actions. Today though, I'm thankful for Addi's teacher, Ms. Kim. Ms. Kim was the first teacher I spoke with when Jared and I dropped off our precious baby her first day of daycare. I was so sad and so scared. She put my mind at ease that day and has every day since. Addi loves her. She beams when she sees her, reaches for her and even gives her hugs. Ms. Kim can look at me in the mornings and without me saying a word she knows if I'm stressed or rushed. She instantly lends a helping hand...putting Addi's bottles and other necessities away and uttering an encouraging word. She knows the days I need to hold Addi for just one more minute because I'm having a hard time letting go and patiently waits for me to hand her over. As I have said before, I hate leaving my girl, but when I leave Addi with such wonderful people, I truly feel blessed.
