Kabbani look-a-like meter!

Summer Ramblings...

My Addie girl is getting so big! She tries to crawl but can't get her chubby self off of the ground! We went to a birthday party today and she had so much fun watching the kids play and playing with her best friend Ella! She says "nana" now too, but for Banana! She LOVES bananas and if I say banana she yells "NANA!" It's so darn adorable! I took her back to the doctor on Thursday because she's had drainage and goop coming from one of her eyes for quite some time. They've given me two different types of drops and it hasn't cleared it up so they wanted me to bring her back in. We'll when I brought her back in they totally dismissed it. They said it's a blocked duct. I've never heard of a blocked duct showing up at six months old! I've been annoyed with her doctor's office because EVERY time we bring her in we see a new doctor. I want her to have one doctor that she sees every time that she comes in. It's annoying because they ask me the same questions every time trying to find out her medical history or they skim through her chart and act like they know what they're talking about. It's so annoying. I'm going to call a couple of pediatrician offices to see if I can set up an appointment for a second opinion and to find another doctor. Things are going great around the Kabbani house. We just finished doing Vacation Bible School at our Church. It was such a blessing and super fun! We also celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on June 17th! YAY! We went to dinner and a movie, and our gift to eachother was we got family pictures done! I'll post a few tomorrow because I'm going to bed because we have Church tomorrow!

Addie said Mama!

She did! She did! She did! I can't believe it but at six months, one week and four days she said her first word! She of course doesn't understand that Mama means me, but she does know how to say it now! It was so adorable and I cried a little! I always practice saying easy words with her like Mama, Dada, Baba...easy words like that. Well we were in Coolidge visiting Andrew's Grandparents and I said it and she said "Mama" back to me. So I did it again and it took a couple tries but she said it again! Then Papa told her to say "Mama" and she yelled it out so loud! It was adorable...but the downside now is when she cries she goes Mamamamama and it's soooo sad! Andrew is definitely upset that she said Mama 1st! too bad!

Addie's 6 month appointment

Wow I can't believe my baby girl is six months old! On the day she turned six months old (June 4th) we passed by West Valley Hospital where she was born and and I shed a tear! It really does feel like just yesterday. She had her six month well baby appointment today. She's 21 lbs 10 oz and 28 and a 1/2 inches long. She's pretty much off the charts for height and weight. She's the size of the average 10 month old! The doctor says she's perfect...right where she needs to be physically and develope-mentally. I am so blessed and happy!

Here's a pic I edited myself:

Updates & Picture overload...

Well I haven't updated in quite a while! AHH! I've just been so busy! We moved, and then I started babysitting another little boy three days a week so I've just been swamped. Addie is now officially six months old. She can sit up by herself, roll over both ways and is almost crawling. She scoots and it's so cute! She has her six month appointment on Thursday so I'm excited to see how she's growing and everything. We went to Kansas Memorial day weekend and visited Andrew's Dad and family and it was so much fun. Definitely a very relaxing weekend...the weather in Kansas was beautiful. A little bit too humid for me but we loved it. Addie really loved meeting her Grandpa and Grandma Kabbani and Uncle Malik.

I celebrated my first Mother's day this year! We went to Church, had lunch at Garcia's my favorite resturant and walked around Arizona Mills Mall. Andrew let me pick out this really cute pink+brown carter's diaper bag, and I also got a digital picture frame! It was so fun.

Too cute for words!:


Well, I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot but oh well. I'm going to try and update a least once a week since I deleted my Myspace. Hope everyone has a great week!

A letter to my baby girl..

To my sweetest girl,

As I sit here and watch you sleep, I can't help but feel overcome with joy. You are five months old today. I can't believe it was five months ago that I was in the hospital, laboring hard to bring you into this world. Although my labor and delivery did not go the way we expected, all that is important is you arrived healthy. Five months ago my world was changed...little girl you stole my heart the minute I laid eyes on your precious face. You are the perfect mix of your father and I. Everyone says you look just like me, but I see your Daddy's sparkling eyes and mischevious smile. I love to make you laugh...when I hear that amazing sound my eyes well up with joyful tears! I love how your face lights up when you see me! It makes all those hard, sleepless nights worth it! You are my greatest joy. My whole life I have dreamed of being a Mommy, and I can't imagine a more perfect daughter than you. You have expanded my heart, filling every corner with happiness, pride and love! I can't wait to watch you grow...to see your first steps, hear your first words...to see your first day of school and your first crush. Your first prom, your graduation, your wedding...and eventually, a child of you own so you may understand the happiness I feel now. The Lord has richly blessed me by giving me you and your Daddy. I will forever praise Him and thank Him for seeing me fit to be your Mama. I love you more than life itself, and can't imagine a better life than spending every minute with you.

I love you yesterday, I love you still...I always have, I always will.

Your Mommy.

Long time no update..

Sorry I haven't updated in almost a month! My best friend Brittany was visiting from Florida for almost two weeks, then Andrew and I moved! That's right! The Kabbani's are in their own place! I'm just now finishing up decorating and unpacking but very soon I will be posting pictures! Adeline's room turned out especially adorable! Love you all and I will update very soon!
