Mama's Letter - Happy 11 months!

Dearest little Madison,

Happy 11 Months my cutie pie!! I have to be honest with you. Mama is in denial and not ready for you to turn ONE! Maybe because turning One means you are officially crossing that line from infant to toddlerhood.  Gone are the newborn days when you would lay still for mama to change your diaper because you are now an active little ball of energy!! You have grown so much since your half-birthday and I know as much as I will miss this infant stage, you will continue to blossom into the amazing little girl mama and dada already see you becoming.

It has been a joy seeing you develop your own little personality.. so who is Madison at 11 months? what do you enjoy? what do you dislike?

Maddie, when you wake up in the mornings next to Mama, you immediately have a grin on your face and start to roll and tumble and lay on Mama.  You don't make too much noise as if knowing Mama needs those few extra minutes of rest.  Sometimes you get close to Mama's face and laugh and it brings a big smile to Mama's face and I know it's time to wake up.  Those precious moments in the morning gives Mama energy to tackle the day and while it always breaks my heart a little that I have to be separated from you while I'm at work.. I think about when we are reunited at home again and that big grin that spreads across your face when you see Mama come home from work and reach out your arms to me.  It melts my heart to know that you see me with such joy and happiness every day.

Not only are you crawling, tumbling, standing and even climbing on things.. you are also a talking machine!! We're not sure what you're saying just yet.. but you definitely inherited mama's talkative gene.. You also LOVE watching videos of yourself, especially your favorite video that we play over and over again for you.  The minute you see mama's phone, you start to stick your tongue in and out and laugh at the video.

When you are at the nanny's, you love playing with Brandon and Issac and when Grandma Alice picks you up, you get to go to Great-Aunt Nina's house and play with cousins Jamie and Jodie.  You are one lucky girl! On Tuesdays, you spend all day with Grandma Susan and it is also one of Mama's favorite days because I get to see you during lunchtime!

Madison, you make Mama and Dada so happy.  Soon you'll be taking your first steps, saying your first words, walking, running.. but until then, Mama's going to enjoy your last month as an infant while I can still keep up with you.  I love you baby girl.

Love,
Mama
