Precious Moments

The past few nights our precious little girl, Addison, has been waking up crying in the middle of the night and we don't really know why ... all we can think of is that she is cutting more teeth. Usually when I am awakened by her crys I think to myself ... I'm so tired and I don't want to get up, hopefully she will go back to sleep in a few seconds. This hasn't been the case these past few nights. As I was holding her in my arms and rocking her back to sleep during the wee hours of the night, I thought .. Why am I being so selfish in wanting more sleep when I might not be able to hold her and cuddle with her much longer because she is growing up so fast and will not need me or want me to hold and cuddle with her anymore. It was in that moment that I started to cherish all the times that I have held her and hopefully will be able to hold and cuddle with her many more times before she gets too big to cuddle!

Speaking of getting big .. Addison went for her 9 month check-up today and she now weighs 20 lbs. 2 oz. and is 27 3/4 inches long! I can't believe how fast she has grown. She has starting crawling with her tummy off the ground now and is trying to pull up on everything! She is also allowed to eat table foods now so no more buying baby food! Hopefully we will have a little extra money in the pocket now that she can eat whatever we eat for the most part.

Easter is coming soon and we need to find a dress! If anybody knows of any specialty shops or stores that sell very pretty smocked dresses for girls in the Auburn/Opelika or surrounding area, please let me know! I am having a hard time finding a dress that I like and don't know where else to look. I know this part of my blog seems random, but I wanted to check and see where other moms were getting smocked dresses!
