Addie is at the age where she is doing and saying new words constantly. It's so fun. Here are just two from today that touched my heart and I had to share:
1. Addie discovered her shadow. Hills are everywhere at Oakbridge. I am constantly holding Addie's hand from falling downhill or dragging her uphill. Well, today we were walking up to our room and she saw it....her shadow. I didn't know what she was doing until I say her wave very slowly at it. Then, she proceeded to touch her ears and then waved again. She started walking forward and talked to it since it followed. It was too sweet.
2. "Jeee" - Translation: Jesus. Addie has become a huge fan of reading her little kid Bible. She is constantly finding "Jeee" in the pages and any animal creature that is there too. She will ask for Jeee and finds joy in flipping through the pages and laughs at the angels. Tonight while I was reading her a story, she pointed out Jesus, kissed her hand and then placed it on Jesus. Wow...tears were close to coming to Mama. I remember my mom saying there is no greater joy than seeing your children follow the Lord. I felt that. It touched my heart to see her excited about the Bible and a childlike love for the Lord.
That's our Addie Grace today.
