I can't believe it! At 12:34 pm, my lovely and smart daughter Madeline Elaine turned 4 years old.

Here is one of her first photos, taken about a day after she got home from the hospital.

Here's Maddie at two years old. I love the shiny smile in this photo!

However, nothing can beat the beauty of this face....I can stare at this photo for hours. This was taken just after her third birthday.

This photo just makes me giggle! This is pretty recent, from last month....

 

 

I am very proud of the things she can do. She can read at a second-grade level. She can identify over 50 countries on a globe. She's very polite, compassionate and empathetic.

 

She's also very opinionated, bossy, and very funny!

 

Happy birthday, beautiful girl!

Happy Birthday Maddie!

I have watched her grow up here on gather and I cannot believe she is that old. She was and is a beautiful child. Treasure the time you get to spend with her. They grow up so fast. Take it from someone who knows. :)

I love four year old children. They are so smart at that age. They come up with answers that you do not expect.
Happy Birthday Maddie !!!!

She has such pretty eyes. When I look at her smiling face, can't help but smile back. She is such a beautiful little girl.
