Maddi and Blankie still best buds... It actually looks white in this picture but it's getting shredded to pieces and most days looks more gray than white

Maddi had the best reactions when opening her gifts. This is her opening Grandma and Grandpa Nelson's gift. As background...a few weeks before this she enviously watched Mia get a necklace from them and would ask every day to try it on. When she saw that her package looked the same as Mia's she started getting excited....and...

This was her face when she got the necklace! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa. You made her day!

So excited about getting the Eloise Wilkin Treasury (all the golden book classics....Baby Dear was one my favorites as a little little girl) from Grandma Tresa. In this picture she was SO excited because "Now I'm twins with Aunt Jen!" Aunt Jen has the same book at her house. :)

Maddi and her "Bag O' Mommy Stuff". We made a bag for her and filled it with old newborn clothes and other baby items and she was thrilled!

Happy Birthday Maddi! 3 years old.

It's always fun to look back at the old pictures and see how much they've grown. As I was searching through these pictures I realized that Maddi is starting to lose some of her baby cheeks and looking like a little girl more than a toddler! So Sad. :( But she is growing into such a sweet little girl learning lots of fun things and thankfully taking less trips to the emergency room, while still hanging onto her sassy little personality. We love Maddi!
