Today you are one year old. I can hardly believe this year has passed so quickly. One year ago today, you were forced out of your cozy home. I'm sorry we had to kick you out, I know you liked it in there. After a year of observing your laid back personality, I'm not at all surprised that you were just chillin' in there for an extra two weeks. Your Daddy and I will never forget the calm way you entered the world- the midwife laid you on my chest and you did not make a peep. You just army crawled up to me and opened your big brown eyes and just stared at me. I thought it was so sweet but it almost looked as if you were saying, "This is it? I came out for this?" One year ago today, I was in labor in a room with 3 other laboring women. If I could see them now I would apologize for being induced last and going into labor first. I think it made them jealous. I would also apologize for being so loud- but if the midwife would have given me some pain meds I would have been a lot quieter. I would also apologize to the midwife that delivered you because I said, "Can you just leave me alone?" to her. I was horrified as it just flew out of my mouth, I do not normally act that way.
One day I will show you the video I took on our first day together. We were in a room with 8 other Mommies and Babies, so it was quite loud. You never made a peep though and slept through it all. I, however, did not. I will also show you the video of when you met your big sisters for the first time. Bailey said, "She looks English" and we still have no clue what she meant. One year ago today you rocked their world and they have loved you ever since!
One year ago today you rocked my world because I was not sure how I could possibly love another little girl as much as I love your sisters. I was so worried about it, but you stole my heart. Your sweet chubby face and little gummy grins helped me through some dark days of depression that I experienced, but you are so worth it baby girl! (That's another story for another day!)
We love you Addie Waddie and could not imagine our family without you! God has blessed us greatly and He gave you such a special personality. You are the most expressive baby I have ever seen. We have loved watching you grow this year.
Happy Birthday precious!

Happy Birthday, Addison!
SO SO precious xxx
Happy Birthday to your little cutie pie!
Safe travels and enjoy your trip!
I will never forget you phoning to tell us you were expecting Addison. We were so shocked! It's a good job God plans and our lives and not us, eh?
She is so beautiful - just like her mum and big sisters.
Marc, we are praying for you every day. We pray that you will hang in there when the "Verlander girls" hit their teens.... ;-)
Happy Birthday, Addie! I have loved getting to know you at our playdates. You certainly are a sweet girl! Thanks for all the smiles you share with others - they are PRICELESS!!! Stay sweet, Miss Thang, and be sure to save those first steps for your mama! (My rule for baby firsts was always this - If I didn't see it, it didn't happen!) Blessings to all of you! Love, Miss Jenn & Jacob
Addie is ONE!!! I can't believe it has been one year. Lauren isn't far behind (only one more month). God knew you needed another baby, so that you could go through things with me :)
Wish we could be there to hug you guys! Congrats, Addison. We'll get to see you this summer!
Dear Sweet Addison, You rocked all our worlds. We love you so much....your wrinkled up nose, your funny faces, and your calm spirit. We are just so thrilled that we are getting to know you and spend time with you. We love you!!! Gigi and Papa
