THIRTY SIX MONTHS OLD
Maddie,
You have been special since the moment I knew you would be you. I watched in anticipation as you grew and took up more and more room in my tummy watching in amazement as a gentle prod led to a swift kick right back at me. Your anticipation to be free of your small confines led to an April, not May as was planned, birthday.


I was thrilled to see you begin to crawl, was more than anxious when you began to walk and was speechless when you began to communicate. The date of your birth, one of the most precious days of my life, a source of joy that continues to this day to add meaning to my life. I am so happy you picked me and your dad to be your parents.

she is a very special little girl, definitely a combination (the good parts!!) of both of her parents. We can't thank you enough for sharing her with us.

such a sweet girl, perfect combo of sweet and feisty. Love her, and she's lucky to have you and Kipper as her parents (not to mention winning the grandparents lottery) I am grateful to whoever invented blogging, which has given me a chance to get to know you all on a daily basis instead of once a year.

I just have to say my vote for the senior annual picture is the 32 month one for sure!!

anything with peaches is a winner.

This girl is destined for Playboy. What? It's respectable. Love all the photos, and I agree with Sonya (and surprisingly, I am not hungover), the music added with the photos equals tears.
