Madie is 3!

I can't believe that my baby is 3 years old already...

ok I am a bit behind, her birthday was actually on October 3.

It seems like just yesterday she was born and I was holding her in my arms, now she is so big and so capable of doing things for herself.

A few things about Madie...

• She loves to color.
• She is starting to get into dress up. Grandma got her some princess dress up shoes, she wears them all the time and calls them her 'tappy shoes'.
• Every morning before anything else she asks for her 'chocolate chip' (chocolate milk).
• She thinks her sister is very cute but is not at all interested in helping with her. She refuses to put Abbi's paci back in her mouth and gets really annoyed with Abbi when she cries. She does however run to get me when she thinks that Abbi needs me.
• She hates to wear cloths. At home her normal wardrobe is a shirt, a diaper and her tappy shoes.
• She loves to sit on the toilet and play with toilet paper. She will sometimes sit there for 45 minutes singing and folding one square of toilet paper.
• She still hates to sleep in her own bed and insists to sleep with Mom and Dad.
• She eats just about anything that we put in front of her.
• She wants to do everything herself.
• She is starting to like Barbies.
• She loves to ride the rocking horse that her Grandpa built.
• She misses her Daddy terribly when he is gone to work and loves to talk to him on the phone.
• She is a screamer! It is loud and high pitched. She has apparently been doing it long enough though that Abbi recognized from inside my belly, she is not even phased but it.
• She has no volume control. All through church she talks at a normal volume no matter how many times she is asked to be quiet.  

We sure love our little Lous.

Happy Birthday Sweet pea!
