..Eight..

She's sweet and sometimes moody. Helpful and easygoing. Loves animals and playing soccer. Is picky about her food and having any kind of accessory in her hair. Her favorite colors are green and blue. She likes school and learning and can run pretty darn fast...

June 21st is an important day around our house. Not only does it mark the "official" 1st day of summer, but it is also my baby girl's birthday. Madeline is now officially the big eight years old. To start off the celebration, on Sunday, she pulled out another tooth for the tooth fairy to come pick up. She sealed it up in an envelope and put it under one of her many pillows. Well, the tooth fairy forgot. It's a good thing that her grandpa told her that the tooth fairy doesn't work on Sundays, so she wasn't too upset about that and she ended up coming by the next night. I think Madeline was trying to catch her because she made sure her tooth was directly under her head.

When I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, she told me she wanted to go to the zoo and so we met up with her cousins and spent the day looking for the animals. (Most of them seemed to be off sleeping somewhere and we really didn't see too many.) She said her favorite was the tigers though and then we stopped at DQ for some ice cream.

Happy birthday to my Sweetie Baby! xoxoxxo
