All About Madeline

"I know a girl...She puts the color inside of my world."
                                                                                                                                     -John Mayer


Love, love, love her


Our sweet Madeline Delia turns two next month, and while she is a petite little peach, her personality is larger than life! Her grandmother nicknamed her 'Boss Baby' and she truly is- she walks around with her little pointer finger out barking out orders. She is a born leader, for sure. 

Little peanut is also very neat and organized- whenever she is done playing with something, she puts it away neatly. She regularly helps us clean, empty the dishwasher, and fold laundry. She is the best little helper and is legitimately so so helpful.

Putting away the books...

Maddie is a total baby fashionista- she loves putting together pretty outfits and is super into shoes and accessories- hers and Mom's. She loves dresses- especially princess ball gowns- and loves getting all dolled up. You can often find her strutting around the house in Mom's shoes- especially the shiny gold wedges. She is a riot!

Loves a dress that twirls- always!

Pose....jazz hands!

Even all dolled up, Maddie is also super athletic and extremely strong. The other day I caught her opening up our huge, heavy double stroller all on her own- I could hardly believe my eyes. Miss Maddie is one determined lady, and when she sets her sights on doing something, she does it. 

Maddie also LOVES to eat- she is such a good eater and you can often find her rummaging through our refrigerator produce drawer for fruits and veggies. Girlfriend LOVES herself some bell peppers. The other night our friends came over and we were joking that she alone ate more than the three 'big kids' combined. She is a frequent member of the 'clean plate club' with her hearty appetite and always likes a little something sweet to finish off her dinner- that's my girl!

Mmmm...this is good!

May I have another?

Maddie is also the biggest cuddlebug ever- she never wants to be put down and is happiest in her Mama or Daddy's arms. She does not like when we walk away- even a few feet. We have prepared many meals with one arm while holding princess in the other arm. When she wakes up in the morning, she does a roll call to find the whole family - "Where Mama? Where Dad? Where Char-Char? Where Ellie?" She loves HARD and gives the sweetest hugs and kisses.

She loves playing with her play kitchen and is obsessed with her baby dolls. She feeds her babies and changes their diapers just like a Little Mama and sleeps with her most special baby doll that her sitter, Nani, made for her. It is SO special to her and she rarely let's that baby out of her sight. When she doesn't see 'Baby' right away she yells "Where baby go???" and runs to find her.

We love this sweet baby girl more than words- she adds so much sparkle and so many smiles to our lives and we can't wait to see the incredible things she does in her life.
