Dale: Happy Birthday to you/
Happy Birthday to you/
Happy Birthday, Dear Madeleine.../
Happy Birthday to You!

Maddie turns one today. She was born on September 6, 2001 at 2:14pm. She weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces, and was 21 inches long. Labor lasted eight hours. The "lifequake" that began in our lives that day continues still, thankfully. She took four steps on her own yesterday, and did so on two different occasions. She says "mama", "Wuz zat?" while pointing at everything, and "Bob" as she grabs her beloved "Spongebob Squarepants" pillow. She's developed what we call an "evil laugh" after she's discovered a fascinating new object. In short, she's nothing we could have expected, and everything we hoped for. Happy birthday, baby girl.
