She is such a precious joy to have and we are so blessed to have her. I thank God every day for her. It is a delight to watch her as she learns how to move and how to fully play with her toys. I can tell she is thinking about taking steps but is scared to let go of the end table. She will reach for your hand and when she grabs hold of your hand she smiles real big (as if to say, "thanks mom, I know you got me") and takes a wobbly step. Time has already flown by so fast. I want to soak in every bit of her. She is only this young once. Thank you, thank you Lord for Addison Noelle Sigmon!!
