It’s amazing what one little girl can accomplish. I can’t help but smile when I see her cherub face, she makes my heart feel light and, even though my eyes feel like they have sand paper in them from lack of sleep, I can’t wait to spend the day with her.
This morning, Maddie was lying between me and John on the bed and she woke up in a wonderful, happy mood. She was babbling to me and looking me right in the eye, when she heard her father move. So, she turned her head, reached out to touch his face, and said, “Dada” – clear as a bell. How can you not love that?
The boys have been playing a lot more with Maddie. She loves when they come home from school because they are willing to sit on the floor with her and make stupid faces and be crazy. Codi is convinced Maddie can say “Bubba” – I don’t have the heart to tell him she’s probably asking for her pacifier or bottle.
Last night the boys helped me blow up her inflatable ducky tub her Aunt Janece bought her. She sat in the tub, splashing and squealing. It was so adorable!!! I will try to get “tasteful” tub pictures next bath.
Tonight Maddie decided that standing on the living room chair would be fun – here is a picture of her right before she fell on her face! I still think she’s going to walk before she crawls.

Good day, Gregg Clan.
It was not "good bye" Tana - more like, "Oh know, that Tana Banana is dropping by AGAIN - wasn't she just here yesterday????"
LOVE the pictures - Miss Madison sure has a lot of folks wrapped around her pinky!!
Promise to give a call soon - April 2 will be here and then I'll have all that time!!!!
Love you all,
Tana
I've read your blog since the beginning and you are so funny. You have such a great personality. You are an amazing woman, mother and wife. I'm so happy your daughter is doing so well. My husband and I are also considering adopting a little girl. I think maybe you should think about doing a column on adopting, parenting, or just traveling. Your sence of humor is just intoxicating. I found myself laughing at some of your comments. Again God Bless you and your family. Have a great year.
