Learning so fast!

Mommy (pointing to book on the coffee table): "Madeline what is this?"

Madeline: "Bee-o-ble."

Mommy and Daddy: "GOOOOOOD!"

Our sweet Madeline said "Bible" for the first time tonight. It truly is the little things in life that bring the greatest joy.

Daddy and Maddie go, go, go!

It wasn't as dark as it looks in these pictures.
Daddy and Maddie decided to go for a spin tonight!


Weeeeee......


She was literally saying "GO!" in this picture.


Mommy had to peel her off this thing so Daddy could plow the driveway. She wasn't too happy, but watching a little Strawberry Shortcake and Dora made it better.

Our little snow baby!

Mommy vs. Daddy

She's smart.
Today, for the first time, Madeline pitted mommy against daddy. Where did she learn that?

When Madeline was in the tub tonight, Mommy called Daddy in to watch her while Mommy started dinner in the kitchen.
Splash. Splash. Splash.

"Mommy?"
"Mommy will be right back."
"Mommmmy?"
"Mommy will be right back, Maddie."
"MOMMY!"

And so Mommy came back.

"Bye! Seeeeee ya! Bye!" said the child to her daddy in victory. She waved a sweet victory wave and grinned. She had gotten her way.

Daddy squinted at her and muttered under his breath on his way to the kitchen to flip the chicken.

Mommy finished the bath and decided while Madeline's hair was still wet, she would comb it out to tame down the wild curls.
Brush. Brush. Brush.

"DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!"

Mommy was supposed to come back and play, not brush wild curls. Daddy was now welcomed back to the bathroom.
