Happy Birthday!

Our baby girl is now 2!!!! It is so hard to believe!

This year has flown by. What an amazing adventure it has been watching her grow. I feel so blessed to be her mom and am so thankful for every moment with her.

What I've learned about Madeline...
-she is sweet and loving and sensitive
-she has no fear
-she is very persistant
-she has a great sense of humor
-she is very smart and has a great memory
-she is very independent
-she loves the outdoors, especially bugs
-she loves Dora, Elmo, The Wiggles, and LadyBugs
-loves to dance and loves the Black Eyed Peas (go figure)

Year 2 has been a BLAST! Can't wait to see what year 3 brings.
