    So beautiful.

    Boy, was she ever telling you some kind of story… we as parents just don’t have the privilege of getting to understand the words at that age. : ) The “hi’s” back and forth are, as you would say, so, so awesome.

    Go Twins - have a great time at the game.

    That MN phrase is so applicable here. It’s amazing to watch her react to your voice! Wait until she says dada for the first time! You (and entire sea of stalkers/creepers/etc) will be crying tears of joy!

    I’ve got another young suitor her - he was born just 9 days after her, so would be a ‘younger man’.

    She is so adorable! I have been following the blog religiously for about a month now, and finally decided to come out and comment. You are doing an amazing job, and it’s so cute how she responds to your voice! I am pretty sure she was saying “hi” back!

    OMG she responded to you. As a speech pathology student that makes me *so* happy for you. She is mimicking sounds. That’s awesome. Good job dad. All that traveling and handling is paying off. Keep up the great work.

    Oh, and she is cuter then anything. I love her eyes. It’s like she can see into you. Amazing.

    That is awesome. I have vids of my little guy around that age, and he’s chompin’ away on my fingers, chatting up a storm. Like the shameless self-promoter that I am, I have them on the web, for everyone one to see. ;)

    Everly, age 2 just watched Madeline with me and at the end signed “more please, more please”.

    Then again, throughout the video she was also mauling my screen with her sticky fingers and yelling, “ME! ME! MINE! ME! ME!”

    you just wait, Matt…you just wait….this 2 year old girl thing is insane. My 3 boys were never MINE MINE MINE. can’t wait to hear your adventures in princess’dom. :)
