Big Girl

Since this month Addie Lou will be 17 months, it's time for her to leave the infant room at school.  It is heartbreaking, as I never thought this day would come.  But it's exciting too.  I know she will get so much more social interaction.  I don't want to say that she will be learning more...the infant teachers have done outstanding with Addison.  She has come such a long way since she was a five month old peanut.  Her sign language is one of our most favorite thing she has learned.  We could do without the hitting, but we also understand self defense and standing your ground.  lol.  I have two pictures of her being a 'toddler.'

Addison, Mommy and Daddy would keep you small forever.  However, we know how great it is to help you grow.  One day we will look back on these and just laugh at what a small change/adjustment this was in your life.  For now, I will dry my tears every time I think of your first transition.  Just as I did when I first laid you into your teacher's arms over a year ago.  We love you baby girl!
