"I love you"

"Mommy, baby girl is sleeping. Be quiet puhleeeeaaaaase. SHHHH!!!!"

 "Kisses for the baby girl. I love you. Get some rest."

 "Let me put on your clothes. Hold still."

"Want to bounce?"

 "Let's read a book together. I like this one."

"That's it. The end. Want to read it, mommy?"

How in the world did my little baby turn in to a toddler that can articulate just about anything she wants to say?? Where has the time gone? Someone? Anyone? Time stand still, please.

For a few weeks now Madelyn's ability to make full length sentences has just exploded. For some reason, I am surprised by it most of the time still. Luke and I catch ourselves laughing at all the unexpected things she says.

She's sweet with her words one minute and bossy the next. She is such a polite little thing though and says, "Yes ma'am/sir and no ma'am/sir" unprompted now. While that's enough to make a mommy proud, my favorite thing she says is, "I love you".
