As a typical proud parent, i have to say i LOVE going out with Maddie because of all the looks she gets. Everytime someone looks at her, they smile. I talk to a lot of strangers bc they come up to me and talk to me about her and tell me how adorable she is. The cashiers all stop ringing me up just to ask about her. Moms get out of my way with their big old shopping carts when they see me with her and they smile as they do so. This girl is queen! I just love when people gush over her. The ladies at Gymboree call her "yummy". I even see men (dads) staring at her...you can tell they are thinking "i wish i had a girl!" lol.

So I know every parent thinks their kid is the cutest. I can understand that. Everything your kid does, you think its the best, you think they are the smartest, you think everything is cute. I know bc there are kids i know who maybe arent the cutest, but the parents are head over heels for them. I often wonder if im one of these parents.

I dont know, but i think maddie is pretty cute. Everything about her is perfect. I love her eyes, her nose, her lips. Even when she was born, the first thing i said to jae after they showed her to me was "oh, shes cute". when they showed her to me, she wasn't covered in vernix, or blood. She was clean (from what i remember). they probably wiped her off but still, the first sight of her, and she was beautiful.

her head is the perfect size. her eyes are bright and big. her lips are so feminine. her nose is a button nose. her smile and laugh are probably her best qualities. Shes tall, not fat. Shes strong...had great neck control from birth. What else could i ask for? I often say that since she looks so perfect, she'll probably be a really bad child. lol.

Jess' Favorite Things (about Maddie)

her eyelashes. I had no doubt she would have long thick ones as both jae and i also have these:


her hands. i think she has cute hands. not too chubby, not too skinny. i like her nails even though they grow super fast. even from birth, the way her hands move just mesmorizes me. she does some funny things with her hands and i remember when she was younger how i thought it was so funny.


her face from different angles make her look like a different person. if you look at her when her head is tilted up, she looks like a cute cartoon character:


i love her chub. everytime i take off her pants to change her diaper i have to smoosh my face into her chub. its so soft and squishy. her toes are pretty cute too.

her cheeks are nice and full. she does have this one face that i LOVE LOVE LOVE and its sort of when she lets her cheeks go, her lower jaw pushes up to her upper jaw and her cheeks get SOOO huge. so cute!

her ears are perfect, dont stick out, not too big or too small (like mine).

i guess i could go on and on...but i wont. i just love everything about her!

It's sunday and Maddie got her 2nd cold since birth. She then passed it onto jae, who then passed it onto me. so the whole fam was sick at the same time! horrible. but thankfully its passing.....

This past weekend I took her to Gymboree. It was funny...the day before our class, i asked jae what time he would be home. he asked why and i said that i was going to go to gymboree and if he wanted to come, he could. he said he probably couldnt get out that early. i said ok and i mentioned how maddie was the only one in her class without a daddy there. he didnt say anything.

a few hours later, he asks me "what time are you leaving for gymboree tomorrow?". i tell him and he doesnt say anything. im laughing to myself now cuz i realize hes thinking about going.

Daddy guilt! lol.

I wasnt even trying to guilt him. i truly didnt care that he wasnt there and in fact, id prefer going alone!

but the next day, i park the car at gymboree and realize he texted me telling me he left work already. i say ok, im at gymboree. i get settled into class and he texts again saying "are you here?"... im confused...is he talking about home? or what? 2 seconds later, i see him walking into the class. LOL. what a scrub.
