My baby says she’s not my baby anymore. If I ever say, “I love my baby”, she’ll say, “I’m not a baby, I’m a GOOD girl”. A few weeks ago I was talking to her about adoption (which I feel very strongly that it is an ongoing conversation), and I was trying to explain to her about her adoption. I said, “Madeleine, you are adopted”, to which she replied, “No, I’m not adopted, I’m a good girl” – totally caught me off guard and I had to laugh. Of course, she’s adopted AND a good girl (well… sometimes – she’s two!).
My good girl is growing so fast, I want to find someway to stop the time from passing so quickly. We’ve said a lot of recent goodbyes. Goodbye to the ba bas (pacis), goodbye diapers (HALLELUJAH!!!), goodbye high chairs, and goodbye crib (I totally had a break down over that one). It’s so hard not knowing if I will ever get the experience of having another baby again, but it also serves as a constant reminder to never take the moment for granted.
I am so very thankful that I get to be called this special good girl’s mamma.

Madeleine is so stinkin' cute. You are such a wonderful photographer.
Okay, you got me a little teary-eyed. I love Miss Mess - and she is growing so sooooo fast!
Such a doll, you are blessed.
I love that good girl. We'll have to come over soon so we can hang out!
