Madison came into my life when she was just about 4 months old. The biggest blue eyes you've ever seen and barely there blonde hair. Chubby cheeks and all smiles. She was beautiful and full of love and happiness. Boy was her daddy proud!
Time has flown since that first day and now she's 5 years old. Just as beautiful and smart and funny as ever.
I remember her first pictures with Santa. We were in the mall in Houma, we'd just went clothes shopping, she was in the cutest pair of jeans and a red shirt with candy stripped socks. She was so small compared to Santa. First Easter Bunny picture... same thing, all smiles and no tears.
When she was a baby we lived in a neighborhood that had a pool and park right down the street. She LOVED the water. The slide was our favorite and picking flowers from the clover patches. Looking back, it seemed so easy and carefree then. Time seemed so still.
This child is fierce, she looks at everything with amazement and enthusiasm. Watching her grow-up is bittersweet, she's changes more and more everyday and since she lives with her mom and visits her daddy and I, we don't get to see everything.
When we brought Grace home from the hospital Madison was 18 months old. She loved her little sister and she was great with her. She held her and loved her. Much more then than now, haha... Grace is rambuncious and crazy and while it drives Maddie nuts, she's still a great big sister and she's patient most of the time.
She is so loved by her Daddy. She is his world and more. It's funny to hear him talk of his plans for her, where he thinks she'll want to go to college, how he won't let her date until after highschool, whether she'll be a cheerleader or tom boy. She mad him a man, she made him a good man.
