There’s a Birthday in the House!

Today Miss Madelyn Rose turns 3.

Madelyn-Rose

Madelyn, you were impossible to name, though “diva” has always seemed to fit.

You have always been a gifted accessorizer…

…even when duty calls.

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.

    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!

    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!
