Happy Birthday Madelyn Paige!

Two years old...How has it already been two years since my sweet Maddy was born.  From the time I was little I dreamed of being a mother and those dreams always included a daughter. When I had Alex I instantly fell in love with my mama's boy, but I always knew I wanted more children. Because of our journey with Alex, I wasn't always sure that we would get the gift of more children. We waited 9 long years to try again and what a gift it was on Halloween of 2013 when our Madelyn came into this world. It is all too perfect that Maddy is a Halloween baby because it fits her personality perfectly. She is both Trick and Treat. She is the sassiest, most strong-willed little girl, but also the sweetest, most loving. One minute she is standing with her arms crossed defiantly and the next she is putting herself in time-out for the 5th time in a row so she can get one more hug after she says she is sorry. She is quick to tell me no, but just as quick to say "I wuv you". She is all girl. She loves to play with her baby dolls and cook in the kitchen. She loves all animals. She loves to read. She loves her music and cooking classes. She LOVES her brother and her dog. She loves life! She is so very funny. She makes us laugh all the time. She has been known to thrown something when she is mad and then oh so sweetly say, "ooops..sorry....what happened?". When I ask what she wants to eat her first response is always "Hmmm...let's see." She has brought so much joy into our house.

My precious Madelyn-

I love every ounce of your being. You have so much personality and so much love in that tiny little body. You are so determined to find your way and explore and learn. You are so eager to show your love with a hug or a cuddle or saying "I wuv you". You are so incredibly smart. You already know your colors and shapes and are always counting to three. Your personality and sweet voice are infectious. We can't help but smile and laugh when you are around. Mia follows you wherever you go. You and Alex are the best of friends. Thank you for making me smile everyday. Thank you for completing our family. Thank you for giving your Buggy the sibling he always wanted. But most of all thank you for being the precious incredible little princess you are. I love you.
