Just Call Her...MINE!

I just love this picture of Maddie. She looks so beautiful and grown up and yet so innocent and sweet! I love it! However, let me tell you a story about this angelic little gal of ours! Our almost 2 year old has been talking up a storm lately. Her vocabulary has increased tremendously. Even Ron thought it had increased in the last week when he was gone to Montana. She loves to talk! She gets frustrated when you can't understand her, but she continues to repeat it (with much more emphasis) until you finally figure it out. She has her own slant on each of the boys names and loves to call them by name! Especially if she is repeating something I have told them to do! She's quite the little mother. In the last month though, we have noticed that she has an "interesting" name for herself. She can look at everyone in the family and tell you our names, but when she gets to herself, she says, "Mine". She calls herself, Mine! So, here she is...our little Mine!
