Meeting Maddie

We went to Amy's a while back and we met Maddie! Let me say, she is beyond words. Seriously. I was going to say she was cute, sweet or precious but those words aren't enough. She is those, amazing, beautiful, funny, perfect, pretty, heavenly, and more. We spent all day at Amy's and I got to hold her for a decent amount of time. She was asleep for most of it so I just held her and stared at her make her funny faces. When we had to leave I was surprised at how hard it was to leave her. It was hard to say good-bye to Amy, too. :) But it was amazing how attached I had become to this perfect little person with such a sweet spirit. I've heard that having a baby in a family really brings the family together. I can totally see why! I can imagine everyone taking turns holding the baby and cheering on her first time crawling and walking. I don't remember any of that with Gracie. I don't ever remember her being a baby. I can't wait for Mom to have a baby. And though I would be happy if it was a boy, I hope it's a girl. ;)
