The Birthday Book

Madelyn loves to read. She adores picture books, her Bible, story book and of course, pop-up books! Honestly, she might actually have too many books. They are on her dresser, on the book shelf in her room, in bins in her room (and the living room and the dining room) and there are always a few in the car. I keep some of them in tubs in the garage and introduce new ones from time to time. Despite all the store bought books she owns, her very favorite book is her 1st Birthday Scrapbook that my sister made. About once a week she asks for us to get it down (we keep it out of reach) so that she can flip through the pages.

Unlike her other books where she can look through them by herself, she always wants someone right by her side for this one. She points to each person and calls them by name. When she gets to the pictures of the cake she starts to sing Happy Birthday. It's pretty stinking cute!

She loves her Birthday scrapbook and I know that she will cherish it for years to come.

{Aunt Rachel, No pressure but I know she would love an equally awesome scrapbook made of her upcoming birthday festivities. Just throwing that out there. -Kathryn}
