Dear Addison

Hi Baby,

It's a Friday, I'm working from home, and it's lunchtime. I'm taking a break to grab a bite to eat and finally start writing to you. I've thought about doing this since before you were born, but it's unbelievable how quickly time gets away from you when you have a baby! But I think it's so important that you know what your life was like. I think I've struggled because I keep thinking I have to pour a bunch of time into it to really make it something special. But I'm wondering if it might be more valuable, more interesting & more real if I were to just keep this informal blog... something just for you and me where I can keep you posted. Posted on you. Posted on me. Posted on our family. No rules. Nothing fancy. No apologies for misspelled words, poor grammar, sketchy sentence structure.

There is no better way to start this blog than by telling you how much I love you Addison. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. Truly, you are the love & light of my life. I adore you and go to sleep every night hoping we have our entire lives to get to know one another. I want nothing more than to be the best mother I can be and give you the happiest life I can give you. You are a very special girl babes.

My goal is to start  today and move forward. In turn, as time allows, I hope to insert some memories that will fill-in what I've failed to document so far. Every day of your life has been special babes! Let's just keep the goal realistic enough for your mother to follow-through. :)
