Today Miss Madelyn Rose turns 3.
Madelyn, you were impossible to name, though “diva” has always seemed to fit.
You have always been a gifted accessorizer…
…even when duty calls.
(Yes, those are ruby red slippers!)
People call you a “doll baby”…
…though mama loves your cutie bootie best!
You’ve always marched to the beat of your own drummer…
…and never hide your true feelings.
And despite your strong personality, you adore your big sister…
…and Mama doesn’t want you any other way.
Happy Birthday, my big girl! I love you!
*Last year, I wrote about her birth story, for those who might be interested.



















She is an angel! Happy Birthday darling girl.
Happy birthday to your adorable little — I mean big — girl! I hope she had a great day.
Happy Birthday lil M! Wow – three yrs old already.
Love the pic of her on the potty. Maybe the Chalupa needs red slippers to pique his interest in that elusive device.
I’m with the Chalupa. If the ruby red slippers are the key to getting our toddler potty any use, I’m SO giving that a try. Heck, even if it isn’t successful, at least Chip will be stylin’ on the potty.
Happy birthday to Madelyn! She really is a doll.
Happy Birthday Maddy! I can’t believe she is 3 and such a big girl. It seems like last summer she was just a baby!
Happy Birthday to your beautiful Maddie Rose!! She really is a doll. I love all those pics of her. Hope she had a most fabulous 3rd birthday. XO
Gotta love those red ruby slippers!
Hope it was a great birthday, for all of you. She’s about the cutest birthday girl ever!
What a beautiful photo tribute for Madelyn! Hope is was a fantastic day!
She is a doll baby! Love her! I hope her birthday was super-fantastic!
Nothing says “special occasion” like ruby slippers and nakedness.
Way to rock it, Miss Maddie.
You are lovely. Just like your mama.
Hope her day was spectacular and that her next year is even better!
Gosh is she ever adorable
Love all of these pictures. Happy birthday to your beautiful baby girl. XOXO
Oh my goodness, beautiful pictures!
