happy birthday, miss madison!!

three years ago yesterday, our little princess made her wide-eyed entrance into the world. (she was literally born with her eyes open!) normally for birthday posts, i like to share photos of birth, 1st birthday, 2nd birthday, etc. but hers are at home in the safe. whups.

so this one will have to do...

miss madison has been our little princess since she came into our lives. we've watched her grow from a tiny red squalling newborn to an active little girl... she's smart, keeping up with her big brother when it comes to learning letters and numbers. she looks up to cole, is sensitive to the needs and wants of remington, loves with a heart that is bigger than big and keeps us laughing with her humor. she's surrounded by boys: two brothers and three boy cousins... she keeps up with them just fine yet has started to show her girly side too. she's a tiny tiger at the ata with a whopper of a front kick! she's our baby girl, the princess of the house, and we couldn't have dreamed of having a sweeter little daughter. madi, you've brought incredible joy to our hearts! we're so proud of how smart, sweet and kind you are... thank you for being our little girl!

(*and we promise that we'll have cake and presents this weekend... we feel so badly that we had to put it all on hold!*)
