Ten Days 'Til Two

It is crazy to think that my baby Madeline (#2) will turn 2 years old in just ten days (today included). In part, I am shocked; because, I feel like just yesterday I was toting her around in an infant seat, diapering, and nursing her multiple times a day. On the other hand, I feel like she has been "almost two" for a very long time, as she has been in such a hurry to keep up with Hannah and she has always been so big. Nevertheless, two is upon us and are lives are changing. Madeline, like her sister, is hilarious. However, unlike Hannah, she is incredibly shy. She is ever so cautiously beginning to come out of her shell in public, yet there are still people who have never heard her speak a word. Those who know Madeline well will attest that she not only talks non-stop, but she speaks in full, easy to understand sentences--and, what she has to say is often quite entertaining. Madeline is difficult to photograph. She usually "turns it off" when the camera comes out. So, I was delighted to have a very successful portrait session with her this weekend. These photos give some insight into her sweet and silly character.

I wish I could say I did make it. I did not-- it's a boutique dress I found at the thrift store-- a GREAT find!

I think she looks exactly like Jonathan (in a cute girly way!)! Happy early Birthday Madeline! I can't believe you're two either!!!
