Madeline Elizabeth...

My niece. She is her own special miracle. She has grown into a new personality since I saw her in May. She smiles more. Loves to bop. Walks all over the place. She is much more serious than either of my girls ever were. We went to Chuck E Cheese on her birthday. I don't know if the adults or kids had more fun spending the tokens. She opened some of her presents. She loved all the sounds and music, but didn't like the mouse himself when he appeared. The rest of the weekend, we watched her interact with our girls. She loves to look at Calla's picture when we're not around, but would much rather hang around Amelia. They are 7 months apart. Amelia would show her affection by giving Madeline "tackle hugs." By the end of our trip, she didn't cry about them anymore. Such a fun thing to watch little ones grow up.
We love you, Madeline!
