Stop Slackin' Mama!!!

I recently realized that I have really been slacking off in the photography department as of late. I don’t think I have taken more than a few pictures since Thanksgiving. I guess we have been busy, but that’s not much of an excuse. Madeline is as cute as ever and cracks us up on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I just haven’t had the gumption to keep my camera on hand to photograph her on a daily basis as I did for the first year of her life. In fact, I think I take more pictures on my camera phone these days than my actual camera (which is a total injustice to our adorable little girl). Here are a few recent pictures of our silly goose (taken on the camera phone, of course) which show a little bit of her ever emerging personality. I know as her mom I am probably a little partial, but I think she is the smartest, funniest, and cutest little girl in the world =] She is nearly 100% potty trained (although we do have the occasional off day), she talks in almost complete sentences (minus the use of helping verbs), dances up a storm, eats like a horse, and sleeps in her own bed through the night. She loves candy canes and everything having to do with Christmas. We recently bought her a manger and she carries baby Jesus with her everywhere. She loves to sing and has a few Christmas songs in her repertoire now (she loves Jingle Bills, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Happy Birthday Baby Jesus). I am making a promise to charge my camera battery and take some decent pictures of my baby starting today. Posts to follow!

Maddie sure loves babies. She will be a great big sister someday!
