I’m always a few months late with my own kids… but my spunky, silly, sweet Mad-a-wine (as De-why-wa calls her) is 2.

How do I put Madeline into words?

She has always and still does love her big sister more than anything.  Where you find D, M is sure to follow.

Never having taken a pacifier (or sucked on her fingers like D), madeline adopted a yellow “bankie” this summer.  I love that she wants to take it everywhere.  That, and her Monkey.

Madeline still loves “mama nilk” but chocolate almond milk is a close second.

I can still pose her like a newborn when she falls asleep.

She loves to sing, especially Twinkle, Twinkle and the Irish blessing – May the Road Rise To Meet You.

Holding her hand makes anything better – if she’s sad or scared she’ll look for Delilah’s or my hand.

Madeline is a carnivore – she will pick out and only eat the meat off any dish.

Our favorite quotes are when she said “Wook at me!” and “Weave me a-woan”

Her’s a glimpse of her shenanigans…
