Hi Sweetheart,
It's crazy that in one more month, you're turning 1. There's a saying that "Time flies when you're having fun." This is sooo true because Mommy and Daddy can't get enough of you! I never thought I could get to know someone so well without words. I have gotten to know a lot about you since you were born. Here is a list of the things I know about you:
I know...
who you would like to be held by
who you wouldn't like to be held by
what makes you laugh
what makes you mad
what makes you cry
what makes you sad
what makes you stick your tongue out
when you're tired
when you're hungry
when you're full
when you need a diaper change
when you need to doo doo
when you like to be held
where you are ticklish
the toys you like
the toys you're over
you love bath time
and you love Mommy & Daddy!
Love,
Daddy

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

Today you reached yet another milestone.. your half-year birthday!! I am so excited to see what you are going to do next.. sit up, crawl, say your first word.. But with every milestone, I am reminded how fast time is passing and how it feels like just yesterday when mommy and daddy arrived at the hospital excited to finally meet you for the first time.

A letter to my Baby - Happy 5 Months!
Dear Madison,
Baby girl, today, you turn 5 months. Mama can't believe how fast time has gone by and I know soon you will hit milestone after milestone in a blink of an eye. I want to reminisce on the past 5 months and cherish all the wonderful memories you've given us before you grow up too fast!
From the moment Daddy called out "It's a Girl" when you were born, our hearts filled with love. Dada and I spent those first couple days in the hospital overwhelmed with joy and in disbelief that after anxiously waiting for you to arrive in our lives, we were finally parents to a beautiful healthy baby girl.
The first month we spent at Grandma's house was definitely a wild roller coaster ride. Everyone told Mama to sleep when you slept but I just couldn't help staying awake to look at you while you slept so peacefully in mama's arms. And then there were those nights where all you wanted was to nurse and as tired as mama was and as painful as it was, I wanted to do my very best to breastfeed and nourish you as much as I could. You had so many aunties and uncles who came to visit and were thrilled to meet you. Some swept you up like you were their own and some were a bit nervous to hold you because you were so tiny!
When we finally brought you home, you settled in right away in your new room. We were definitely blessed with a baby who LOVES to sleep, just like mommy and daddy! You got to meet your "brothers" Ronald and Batman who were curious to see who was this new little being taking up so much of mommy's time! The next 3 months were amazing as Mama was able to spend every second of every day with you! We attended our first Gymboree class with Auntie Laura & cousin Dylan, went on a rose bowl walk with Auntie Arty & baby Callie, made way too many trips to Target and the mall, and then, there were just the wonderful days of staying in at home.
Maddie, Mama is already SO proud of you. I know you are going to grow up to be an incredible strong woman but right now, at this moment, I just want to remember you as you are. Before you start to roll over with ease and sit up, before you start to crawl and run and walk, before you stop finding blowing raspberries entertaining because you can say "Mama" and "Dada".. I want to remember your baby cries and your little shrieks of laughter. I want to remember your little hands and chubby thighs. The way you stare up at me when you are nursing and when you try to "talk" while sucking on your wubbanub. The way you reach for your toys and touch Mama's face. My most recent favorite memory is when you woke Mama up one morning by blowing a raspberry right in Mama's face. It's the way you communicate without being able to talk that I love most about this stage in your life.
As much I love this stage in our lives, and as much as I wish you can be my baby forever.. I am also going to embrace the little girl you are becoming. And when you fall, Mama will pick you up and when you start to walk, Mama will hold your hand. And when you say "Mama", oh baby, my heart will just melt.
Happy 5 Months Maddie!!
Love,
Mama

"The Last Time"
Dear Madison,
Last Friday we celebrated your 2nd month. Mommy has been wanting to blog about my time with you ever since you were in my tummy but just never made the time to do it.
It's going to be a challenge to blog in between nursing you every 3 hours, changing your dirty diapers, rocking you to sleep and somewhere in the midst of that finding time for Mommy to sleep too.. but after reading "The Last Time" by Devon Corneal.. I knew I had no time to waste.
So with you wrapped up in the moby wrap, I'm going to tackle this blogging thing! Hopefully in the next two months before I have to go back to work, I can blog about the time when you were in mommy's tummy to when you were first in mommy's arm, your first month with Mommy at Grandma's house, when you came home to your new room that mommy and daddy worked so hard on, and much much more!
Love,
Mama Lo
Last Hurrah!
