FIFTEEN WHOLE MONTHS

to my sweetest madelyn, 

although i am sad that you are not a 'baby' anymore and becoming a 'toddler' more and more each day, i am loving every minute of it. you are really becoming my little mini :)

i know i say it all the time but it's true...i just love you so much! i live for you, we live for you! 

i love what a silly little girl you are becoming, you must have your daddy's sense of humor. i love how you love to play peek a boo, popping out from behind the door, table or crib. i love how you use almost anything as a phone, holding it up to your ear saying "hi, hi." i love how you ask for 'more' when you're eating and then sign 'please.' i love how when i ask you 'are you ready to take a bath' you drop to your knees and crawl to the stairs. i love how you are a fan of your bows again and will even try to put them in your hair. i love that you have enough hair for the cutest little pony tail. i love how friendly you are becoming to strangers, smiling, waving hi and bye, if their lucky they may even get a kiss. i love how when you gives kisses you say "mwah." i love how you love the water, i think you are definitely a summer gal just like your mama. i love how you love a good routine. i love your laugh and i love it when you laugh so hard that i can see all your pearly whites. i love your sweet smile. i (we) absolutely love every piece of you. 

you are a beautiful little girl, my girl.

i love you to the moon and back my sweet baby girl

love, your mommy (and daddy)
