Madeline is 15 months

Today our little girl is 15 months old. Always hard to believe, time just goes so fast.

My little Maddie-Loo,

You are such an incredible joy to be around. You are always smiling, always happy. I feel so incredibly fortunate to be your mommy. You are such a beautiful little girl and you bring so much joy to our lives every day.

You are always moving, mostly climbing. You climb on anything you can, you are afraid of nothing. You are into everything. I do mean EVERYTHING. Things go missing around our house daily. You are strong both physically and mentally. You are very well coordinated, especially for your age. You love to figure out how things work and you remember everything. You are a very bright little girl. You are extremely strong willed and you don't like anyone telling you, "NO". You're testing limits daily to see how much you can get away with, and with that smile of yours, you get away with more than you should.

You love Willy Wonka, Dulce, KitKat, and even Finn the fish. You love all animals and just like your mommy, you can spot a dog or cat a mile away and make a bee-line for it right away. You can say "KitKat" (sounds like Kaaa-kaaaaaattttt), so you call all dogs and cats alike, "Kaaa-kaaaaaattttt!!!" You need to work on your petting skills, currently more like hitting. Once you get that down, the animals will stop running from you.

You love your brother and get so excited to see him in the morning. The two of you together is about the cutest thing I've ever seen. You two race the alligator pull toy and the hippo pull toy every morning. Alligator almost always wins (Hudson pulls him), but you don't mind. You have so much fun pulling hippo. You also love Hudson to push you in the stroller, the wagon, lightning McQueen, etc...and just love having him around.

You love music and anytime you hear it you start dancing. I love the way you dance.

You love shoes. All shoes. You can even say "shoe" (sounds like "shhhheeeeee"). You bring people their shoes all day long. You want your shoes on most of the time and bring them to us, saying, "Shhhhheeeeeeee, me! Me! Meeeee!" until someone helps you put them on.

You love your stuffed animals. LOVE them. You sleep with three of them and usually fall asleep with one of them on top of you.

You love berries. Mostly raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Strawberries aren't your favorite, but you would eat 100 raspberries if we'd let you. Generally you are a very good eater, but you don't like avocados or mangoes. You love sweets, I'm afraid you've inherited my sweet tooth.You also love to play in the refrigerator and will eat anything within your reach.

You are growing up and changing so fast and I wish we could slow time down just a little. I love that we can still snuggle together before bed every night, and I know that's not going to last forever. It's almost always my favorite part of the day.

Maddie-Loo, we all love you and your sweet smile so, so much. You are such an amazing little girl.

XOXOX
Mommy
